Harshal Chavan
@harshalchavan1
I’m an Information Security and GRC professional delivering ISO 27001-driven risk and compliance outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Information Security and GRC professional with 3+ years of experience in ISO 27001 implementation, risk assessment, audit management, SIEM monitoring, and IAM/RBAC governance across fintech and technology environments.
I’ve helped reduce recurring audit non-conformities by 10-15% through structured root cause analysis and CAPA, and improved MTTR by 20% by redesigning incident tracking into Excel-based KPI dashboards. I’ve also sustained zero major audit deviations across ISO certification cycles by drafting and maintaining policies aligned with ISO 27001:2022 and NIST CSF.
In my roles, I’ve led ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certification outcomes for external clients by driving readiness assessments, statement of applicability (SoA) development, and audit evidence coordination. I bring Secure SDLC governance, third-party risk management, and executive-ready communication that translates technical findings into actions for engineering and business stakeholders.
