What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote entry-level GRC Analyst or Compliance Analyst role where I can support risk assessment, compliance monitoring, and audit-ready governance aligned with NIST CSF and ISO 27001.

I’m an ISO/IEC 27001:2022–certified GRC professional with hands-on experience in national cybersecurity governance at NCERT and financial regulatory compliance under SBP frameworks. My work blends risk assessment, compliance monitoring, and policy development, with deliverables designed for audit readiness and control validation.

At NCERT, I reviewed and submitted governance control recommendations for the Pakistan Information Security Framework (PISF) 2025 consultation, directly shaping security governance standards. I also designed and deployed a Security Operations Center (SOC) lab to simulate enterprise-scale threat scenarios for incident response testing and GRC control validation aligned with NIST CSF and ISO 27001.

In banking compliance work with Askari Bank, I implemented and monitored controls aligned with SBP Prudential Regulations and AML/CFT directives. I maintained data integrity protocols supporting audit readiness and regulatory reporting, and performed KYC/CDD validation across 45+ digital accounts under customer due diligence and financial security standards.

I bring a strong governance foundation from my IT degree (Gold Medalist) and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, plus projects like RBAC-based access control and ISO 27001 gap analysis. I’m now seeking a remote entry-level role where I can apply this expertise to strengthen compliance, improve control alignment, and support clear, actionable security governance.
