Information security & GRC leader building audit-ready ISMS and reducing risk.

Malaysia

What I'm looking for

I want to lead enterprise ISMS/GRC initiatives—align controls to ISO 27001 and SOC 2, automate evidence and risk workflows, and deliver board-ready risk reporting. I thrive building audit-ready programs with measurable reductions in manual dependencies.

I’m an Information Security and GRC leader with 18 years of IT experience, including 11+ years building governance, risk, and compliance programs that stand up to real audits. I’ve designed and implemented enterprise ISMS from inception, achieving ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 certifications with zero findings.

I lead security teams and bring structure to risk and control ownership—defining ISMS scope, governance models, risk methodologies, and reusable controls that reduce duplication across regional operations. I’m known for board-level risk reporting and for centralizing and automating GRC workflows so evidence is always ready, remediation is trackable, and compliance culture becomes operational—not manual.
