What I'm looking for

I seek a GRC/IS audit role where I can drive compliance readiness (ISO 27001, SOC 2), lead gap remediation, mentor teams, and grow in a collaborative, security-focused organization.

I am a passionate cybersecurity and GRC professional with hands-on experience in information systems auditing, risk management, and compliance readiness across multiple frameworks. I translate technical security requirements into clear, actionable remediation plans.

I have supported compliance readiness for ISO 27001, SOC 2, IEC 62443-3-3 and regulatory guidelines, conducted gap assessments, prepared detailed audit reports, and served as a Virtual Information Security Officer to guide security strategy. I also deliver security awareness training and author practical cybersecurity blogs to raise organizational security posture.

I hold ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Auditor and ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity credentials and continuously pursue GRC and compliance capabilities. I seek opportunities to drive measurable improvements in risk posture within collaborative, growth-focused teams.
