What I'm looking for

I seek a senior role in information security or compliance where I can lead ISMS/BCMS, drive audits, manage cloud and privacy compliance, and mentor teams in a collaborative, regulated enterprise environment.

I am a competent, diligent and goal-oriented information security and compliance professional with 22+ years of experience across audit, risk management, cloud security, and business continuity.

I have led IT/IS governance, internal and vendor audits, ISMS/BCMS implementation, incident response and cloud compliance for financial software, hosted services and enterprise environments, working closely with regulators, banks and large merchants.

I deliver practical, standards-aligned security programs (ISO/IEC 27001, PCI-DSS, NIST, RBI guidelines), perform risk assessments and audits, and design training and continuity exercises to protect data integrity and business operations.
