I am an Information Security professional with extensive experience in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), Security Operations, and Security Awareness. Currently, I serve as a Security Analyst at the British Heart Foundation, where I have a proven track record in implementing security frameworks, conducting audits, and enhancing compliance scores. My role involves leading PCI DSS audits for retail environments and contributing to the comprehensive review and implementation of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

In my current position, I have successfully assisted in establishing and maintaining an ISO 27001-aligned Information Security Management System (ISMS). I have configured and managed Microsoft Purview to effectively maintain security policies and enhanced organizational compliance by deploying Microsoft Compliance Manager. My initiatives, including security awareness campaigns, have led to an impressive 89% improvement in phishing simulation reporting, showcasing my commitment to fostering a culture of security awareness.

Prior to my current role, I completed a Cyber Security Internship at Inchcape Digital, where I documented a Cybersecurity Risk Management Framework and prepared risk assessment reports. My educational background includes a BSc (Hons) in Computing with First Class Honours from Nottingham Trent University, where I was awarded the Department of Computer Science Project Prize for my final year project on security awareness training.
