What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead SOC and ISMS governance where automation, clear CISO reporting, and strong control ownership matter—driving ISO 27001/PCI compliance, IAM maturity, and measurable improvements in MTTR and detection quality.

I’m an accomplished Information Security professional with over 10 years of experience across Security Operations, ISO 27001 end-to-end programme management, ISMS governance, and Identity & Access Management (IAM) for geographically distributed enterprise operations. As a Certified ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor, I manage certification, surveillance, and recertification cycles while keeping risk registers and policy frameworks aligned to leadership needs.

I’ve led 24/7 SOC operations, directing a 10-member team handling 250+ security incidents weekly and strengthening incident response consistency end-to-end. By implementing automated playbooks and SIEM-driven optimization, I reduced Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) by 25% and cut false-positive alert volume, while improving threat detection efficiency by 20%+ through Microsoft Sentinel enhancements and high-fidelity threat intelligence integrations.

My compliance and assurance work includes delivering 35+ ISO 27001 and PCI DSS audits across BFSI and enterprise environments, closing 95% of compliance deficiencies and achieving recertification targets. I also conduct third-party risk assessments across 150+ vendor engagements, manage asset inventory and security questionnaires, and drive remediation to closure across ISMS controls—so security reporting to CISO and senior leadership is clear, actionable, and audit-ready.
