What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead ISO 27001 and broader GRC work—driving gap assessments, audit readiness, and risk reduction with cross-functional teams. I want to strengthen security governance and compliance culture using practical, standards-based controls.

I’m a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) professional focused on strengthening information security governance, compliance management, and audit readiness. I help organizations translate requirements into practical controls through gap analyses, policy development, and risk assessment.

In my current Director role, I lead ISO/IEC 27001 implementation and advisory services across client engagements. I conduct gap assessments, control maturity evaluations, and guide certification readiness and external audit preparation, while supporting leadership teams to build a stronger compliance culture.

My experience also includes supporting information security operations, incident and operational risk mitigation, and compliance procedures. Earlier, I contributed to ISO 27001:2022 implementation, applied NDPA for PII protection with 100% adoption in critical data areas, and delivered vendor due diligence that reduced organizational risk by 45%.

I combine hands-on advisory with mentorship and documentation, coaching others on cybersecurity concepts and certification paths. I work across standards and privacy requirements, using tools such as ServiceNow, RSA Archer, MetricStream, and SAP GRC to keep compliance programs aligned to real-world expectations.
