I’m an IT/IS GRC Analyst bridging law and technology to deliver compliant, auditable risk management.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I’m an IT/IS GRC Analyst recognized for collaboration, clear communication, and building trust across Legal, Technology, and business teams. With a dual background in Law and Technology, I translate complex regulatory requirements into structured controls, policies, and technical evidence that stand up in internal and external audits.
In a regulated healthcare technology environment, I led the structuring and evolution of the GRC program to support international expansion and audit readiness. I secured IEC 62304 Class C regulatory approval by mapping technological and regulatory risks to internal controls, and facilitated HIPAA compliance and SOC 2 Type II audit readiness with zero critical findings, strengthening the security posture for U.S. healthcare partnerships.
I also focus on pragmatic risk prioritization—adopting CIS Control 1 to mitigate critical operational risks, conducting targeted LGPD gap analysis with executive-ready action points, and developing IT governance policies and procedures aligned to SOC 2, HIPAA, and IEC 62304. I’m at my best analyzing data, mapping controls, evaluating third-party risk, and supporting audit readiness, while contributing to risk committee discussions and security awareness initiatives that build shared accountability.
