@rasmaneouedraogo
GRC Analyst combining cybersecurity risk, compliance, and cloud security to deliver audit-ready programs and measurable risk reduction.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven GRC Analyst with 9+ years leading cybersecurity governance, risk management, and compliance programs for major US financial institutions. I own end-to-end GRC execution—coordinating audit response, collecting and organizing evidence, identifying non-conformance, and driving timely closure of findings with zero overdue audit items.
My risk work is built on NIST RMF and FAIR, including risk registers, control gap analyses, corrective action plans (CAPs), and security exception management. I report KPI/KRI metrics to executive leadership and mature GRC programs using frameworks such as NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-171/CMMC L2, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP, and HITRUST.
Beyond GRC, I bring hands-on SOC and cloud security strengths: triaging alerts with Splunk and Dynatrace, securing AWS environments, and implementing zero-trust architecture aligned to CMMC L2 and CIS Benchmarks. I also automate evidence collection and controls with ServiceNow GRC, AWS Audit Manager, Vanta, Ansible, and Terraform—while mentoring teams and translating complex requirements into actionable technical steps.
