What I'm looking for
As an ISO 27001 Consultant at A-LIGN, I lead audits for enterprise clients, ensuring their Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) are effective and compliant with ISO 27001:2022 standards. My role involves conducting gap analyses, readiness assessments, and internal audits, where I evaluate risk assessments and security policies to identify areas for improvement. I pride myself on my ability to interview stakeholders and develop tailored remediation plans that enhance compliance and operational effectiveness.
Previously, I served as a Senior Consultant at Ernst & Young, where I led IT audits and risk assessments across various frameworks, including SOX and NIST. My experience spans both on-premises and cloud environments, where I evaluated enterprise systems for compliance with cybersecurity frameworks. I am dedicated to delivering comprehensive audit reports and guiding clients through the complexities of control implementation and remediation, ensuring they meet regulatory requirements.
