Fazeela Jamal
@fazeelajamal
Information Security Officer with 7+ years delivering ISO 27001 GRC, SOC operations, and audit-ready compliance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a cybersecurity professional with 7+ years of experience in security operations, risk management, and compliance frameworks, including ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and GDPR. I specialize in aligning security controls across cloud and on-prem environments while maintaining strong audit readiness.
In my recent role as a Cybersecurity Specialist focused on GRC and GDPR Security Operations, I improved compliance processes through evidence collection and audit documentation. I implemented GDPR controls (Articles 5, 25, 30, 32), conducted DPIAs, and maintained ROPA and risk registers to strengthen regulatory compliance.
Previously, I served as an Information Security Officer where I managed SOC operations using SIEM tools (Splunk, Wazuh) and EDR solutions, performed risk assessments aligned with ISO 27001 and NIST CSF, and led penetration testing and vulnerability management activities. I also maintained audit documentation, coordinated remediation of control gaps, and presented findings to senior management.
I bring offensive security and governance together—using risk quantification (FAIR) and ISO 27001 methodologies, supporting vendor/third-party risk reviews, and using tools like Archer and Jira for tracking and evidence management. I’m open to relocation to Lithuania with visa sponsorship.
