Harshit Kushwaha

I'm leading internal IT audits at PNB MetLife India Insurance, covering IT systems, critical application BCP reviews, IRDAI-aligned ISMS audits, audit reporting, and remediation tracking. I work closely with IT, Digital, Infrastructure, functional heads, and MetLife on compliance and practical control improvements.

Previously, I headed information security and governance as CISO at Raheja QBE General Insurance, where I drove the SOC program, coordinated VAPT and red-team exercises, strengthened access management, supported BCP/DR readiness, and managed IRDAI assurance, ISNP, ITGC, and IRMS audits.

My experience also includes cyber risk advisory at Deloitte, IS audits at HDFC Bank, and systems audit consulting for banking clients. Across 13 years in banking, NBFC, and insurance, I've built my work around information security governance, risk assessments, regulatory compliance, ISMS, privacy, and audit assurance.
