Senior IT Security and Compliance Analyst, delivering incident response, risk management, and audit-ready compliance programs.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an experienced IT Security and Compliance Analyst who develops and implements effective security solutions in fast-paced environments. I focus on incident response, security awareness program building, and risk management support that consistently helps organizations protect critical systems and data.
In my recent role, I conduct regular reviews of company policies and procedures to align with regulatory requirements and industry best practices. I also assist with building a comprehensive risk assessment framework to evaluate potential threats to organizational compliance.
Previously, I led SOC 1 Type I audit activities by coordinating stakeholders and delivering required evidence during audit walkthroughs. I also oversaw end-to-end cryptographic key management—secure key generation, storage using HSMs, rotation, and access controls—while supporting PCI DSS and internal security policies during audits.
More broadly, I coordinate incident response across departments, including phishing attacks and recovery efforts, and I reduce security risks by strengthening protocols and ensuring regulatory adherence. I’ve designed security awareness training for 1000+ staff using KnowBe4 and Proofpoint, and I support vulnerability assessment and documentation for ongoing assessments and audits using tools like Microsoft Defender, DarkTrace, Qualys Cloud Platform, and security platforms such as Cisco Meraki and Palo Alto.
