I am a CISSP-certified cybersecurity project manager driving GRC, ISO 27001, and security automation.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a CISSP-certified information security professional with 8+ years of experience in cybersecurity, GRC, vulnerability management, and security operations. I specialize in aligning technical controls with business needs to produce measurable risk reduction.
At Seconize I led audit, security operations, and customer success teams for SaaS vulnerability and compliance solutions, directing ISO 27001:2022 and SOC2 Type 2 audits to improve compliance and reduce organizational risk. I apply NIST and ISMS frameworks and manage cross-functional projects to deliver on time with strong stakeholder engagement.
I build automation tools and technical solutions—including a SOHO stateful firewall and an automated GRC assessment toolkit—that reduced audit preparation time by 50% and eliminated unauthorized traffic in lab testing. I also performed Azure cloud posture reviews that remediated 30+ critical findings and significantly lowered cloud risk.
I enjoy teaching and knowledge sharing, having run VAPT workshops and spoken on security topics. I am committed to continuous learning and to leading teams that bridge engineering and business for resilient, auditable security programs.
