Sera Chitgopkar

I’m a Technology Consultant focused on cybersecurity awareness and data privacy processes that enhance an organization’s security posture. I combine technical knowledge with strategic business insights built through an MBA and a B.Tech. in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering.

At EY India, I designed and implemented data protection solutions aligned with the Digital Cybersecurity awareness and the Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 for a major automobile company. I helped improve system reliability and enhanced end-user experience across client environments.

I also create and implement remediation plans and roadmaps for gaps within data protection processes, and I direct processes to maintain compliance with industry regulations like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Through risk assessment and client engagement, I develop strategic recommendations that optimize operational efficiency and reduce costs.

Earlier experience strengthened my audit and governance mindset: I led an audit process for Urban Cooperative Bank (UCB) from kick-off to final draft as Team Lead, and I completed ISO 27001 transition work through gap assessment and internal audit for ISO 27001:2022. I’m equally committed to execution—creating SOPs, checklists, and policies for information security, incident response, and email security.
