What I'm looking for

I’m interested in cybersecurity risk, identity and access management, security governance, and technology risk, bringing a financial-services control perspective.

At ICDFA, I’m developing practical cybersecurity and Governance, Risk & Compliance capability through structured learning, exercises, and portfolio assignments. I document risk assessments and registers, identify control gaps, and record risk-treatment actions.

In simulated incident analysis, I document potential business impact, response considerations, and opportunities to improve controls. I also map project observations to NIST CSF and ISO 27001 concepts where applicable.

At POLARIS BANK LIMITED, I analyzed transactions and supporting documents to identify exceptions, processing errors, and potential control weaknesses. I conducted operational reviews and control testing, documented findings, and escalated significant exceptions for management attention.

I also compiled Excel reports on exceptions and risk observations, reviewed incidents and followed up on remediation, and supported regulatory reviews. My portfolio includes a risk register and a GRC incident analysis; I’m interested in cybersecurity risk, identity and access management, security governance, and technology risk.
