What I'm looking for

I am looking for a grc role that fosters collaboration, values security, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

GRC professional with 8+ years of IT experience, including 2+ years specializing in governance, risk, and compliance across cloud and hybrid environments. Proven ability of developing policies and procedures, aligning controls with regulatory compliance such as ISO 27001, HIPPA, NIST, etc. With hands on exposure to identity access management, vendor risk, audit readiness, and business continuity planning.

Committed to partnering with cross-functional teams to implement scalable, audit-ready security programs, conduct risk assessments and drive continuous compliance. My expertise lies in developing policies and procedures that align with regulatory frameworks, significantly reducing audit findings by 40%. I am committed to delivering client-centric support to evaluate cyber risk, drive continuous compliance, and enable scalable, audit-ready security programs.

In my current role as a GRC Analyst, I have developed and maintained compliance documentation, aligned AWS security controls with ISO 27001 and NIST CSF standards, and implemented least-privilege access controls that reduced unauthorized access incidents by 45%. My proactive approach to compliance culture has strengthened internal awareness and secured leadership buy-in for increased security funding.

Previously, in a healthcare company, where I enforced patient data protection and co-developed policy documentation workflows. My collaborative efforts led to a significant increase in phishing-test pass rates and an impressive 85% audit pass rate. I thrive in cross-functional team environments and am passionate about driving continuous improvement in security practices.
