What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth in information security, with a focus on compliance and risk management.

As an Information Security Analyst at KPMG, I have developed and implemented policies to ensure compliance with ISO 27001 standards, enhancing security for over ten applications. My role involves conducting thorough Security Assessment Reports and providing actionable feedback to ensure secure deployment in production environments.

My experience extends to leading the adoption of Microsoft Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention solutions, where I facilitated cross-country communication and training. I have also enriched the documentation of security processes on the KPMG Intranet, ensuring that all information is up-to-date and accessible.

With a strong foundation in IT audits and vulnerability management, I have successfully conducted comprehensive audits for major banks and oil companies in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. My technical skills in Python, Linux, and network monitoring have enabled me to develop multi-threaded solutions for vulnerability management, ensuring robust security measures are in place.
