What I'm looking for

I'm seeking global remote opportunities where I can lead third-party risk assessments, vendor assurance, compliance reviews, and cyber risk governance for banking and financial services clients.

At KPMG Assurance and Consulting Services, I complete third-party cybersecurity risk assessments and vendor validations for global banking and financial services clients. I have completed 300+ assessments, validated 100+ vendors, and maintained 100% SLA adherence.

I review SOC reports, ISO certifications, penetration tests, and compliance evidence using ServiceNow, Archer, and SureCloud. I manage end-to-end vendor assessments remotely, lead virtual stakeholder discussions, and track remediation activities.

Previously at Hexaware Technologies, I led ISO audits, GDPR compliance reviews, risk assessments, governance reporting, and continuous improvement initiatives. I collaborate with Security, Compliance, Procurement, and Legal teams across distributed environments.

I also mentor junior assessors and conduct quality reviews, supported by Lead Auditor certifications in ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 22301, and ISO/IEC 27701.
