Aspiring technology risk and IT audit professional, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, skilled in investigations and evidence analysis.
What I'm looking for
I’m an aspiring Technology Risk and IT Audit professional, certified as an ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor. I’ve been actively building toward roles in Technology Risk, Information Security, and IT Audit by combining structured control thinking with hands-on technical work.
Through 25+ active cases at Cyber Police Station, Nashik, I gained experience in cybercrime investigation, digital evidence analysis, and incident documentation. I performed digital forensic analysis using Cellebrite UFED, conducted web/APK analysis with threat hunting (including dark web monitoring and OSINT), and produced defensible advisory, vulnerability, and incident response reports. I also served as an Expert Witness, presenting technical findings to support judicial decisions.
I bring audit-ready capabilities across IT Audit & ITGC—access management, change management, control design and effectiveness testing, stakeholder interviews, evidence collection, control gap analysis, root cause analysis, and audit reporting. I also completed MIT xPRO work on the Equifax Data Breach, mapping exploitation and ITGC failures to NIST CSF domains to strengthen risk and control coverage.
