Kumaran Ramachandran

I’m a Senior Cybersecurity Architect with 17+ years designing and leading enterprise-grade security programs across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I focus on turning complex risk into executive-level security strategy, while building architectures that stand up in regulated environments.

I’m known for building Zero Trust architectures aligned to NIST 800-207, and for embedding DevSecOps controls directly into CI/CD pipelines. By integrating SAST, DAST, secrets scanning, IaC validation, and policy-as-code, I’ve helped reduce deployment-related vulnerabilities by 35% and strengthen secure delivery at scale.

My work spans security architecture, GRC, and operations—deep expertise in NIST CSF and NIST SP 800-53, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR. I’ve established governance frameworks that improved audit readiness and reduced compliance gaps by 30%, and I’ve led cloud risk assessments to identify and mitigate high-risk exposures impacting critical business services.

I’m also developing a strong specialization in AI/ML security governance and LLM threat modeling, including prompt injection, data leakage, and model integrity risks. I collaborate across engineering and executive stakeholders, and I’m driven by security program management, board-level reporting, and measurable outcomes.
