What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth, ideally in a collaborative environment focused on cybersecurity innovation and risk management.

I am a cybersecurity professional with over 5 years of experience delivering measurable improvements in risk posture, regulatory compliance, and security operations across highly regulated environments. As a certified ISO 27001 Lead Implementer and OneTrust Risk Professional, I have a proven track record in designing and implementing Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) and leading third-party risk management programs. My expertise lies in aligning cybersecurity strategies with business objectives, resulting in significant reductions in audit findings and enhancements in control maturity.

In my current role as an Information Security Analyst at SecureHash Inc., I spearheaded cross-framework security assessments, reducing compliance gaps by 35% and enhancing audit readiness. I have successfully automated key security controls, cutting manual compliance efforts by up to 40%. My commitment to security governance has led to a 40% improvement in internal policy adherence scores, and I have executed numerous third-party risk assessments to ensure compliance with vendor obligations. My efforts in delivering security awareness programs have significantly increased employee phishing recognition rates, showcasing my dedication to fostering a security-conscious culture.

Previously, at Prolific IT Solutions Ltd, I designed and implemented an ISO 27001-compliant ISMS, achieving certification within 9 months. My proactive approach in conducting security risk analyses and directing vendor audits has strengthened enterprise security posture and maintained compliance with data privacy regulations. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive strategic investments in cybersecurity and enhance organizational resilience against evolving cyber threats.
