At Manipal Payment and Identity Solutions Ltd., I coordinate compliance assessments across financial data processing operations and help maintain alignment with ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Across 100+ assessments, I achieved zero major audit non-conformities and maintained on-time evidence submissions.

I conducted IT audit activities, including risk assessments and control reviews, and managed security deviations through response playbooks, root cause analysis, and CAPA. This work reduced repeat occurrences by 40%.

In an AWS SOC simulation project, I configured CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and Security Hub, then monitored IAM activity and API logs in Splunk. I detected and documented three simulated threat scenarios, mapping attack scenarios to MITRE ATT&CK and preparing incident reports with risk ratings and recommended controls.

My experience combines governance, risk, and compliance work with practical cloud security and SOC exposure. I hold CEHv13 AI, TISA, AWS Solutions Architect, and DevOps certifications.
