IT risk, GRC, and compliance professional driving ISO 27001-aligned security and audit outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m an IT risk, GRC, and compliance professional focused on turning security requirements into audit-ready evidence and practical control improvements. My work spans ISO 27001, ISO 31000, NIST, BCMS, ISMS, ITGC, GDPR, and SOX, with hands-on support for cybersecurity audits, risk assessments, controls testing, and business continuity planning. I’m especially effective at stakeholder management, documentation, and ensuring policy compliance across frameworks.
At Tech Mahindra, I’ve performed system criticality and risk assessments to support enterprise risk management and business continuity planning (BCP). I developed and maintained disaster recovery (DR) plans to meet regulatory and client requirements, and I implemented IAM access control policies aligned with organizational security standards. I also conducted application risk assessments and vulnerability analysis to identify control gaps, supported internal and external audits (including ITGC and cybersecurity audits) with evidence and remediation tracking, led client-facing GRC discussions, and achieved 95%+ SLA compliance delivering audit and risk documentation outputs.
Previously, as Lead IT Compliance and Governance at STL Digital, I coordinated audits for BCMS, ISMS, ITGC, and cybersecurity, building evidence collections and running gap analysis. I performed risk assessments and control testing aligned with ISO 27001 and supported third-party audit readiness with remediation tracking and policy compliance improvements. I also spearheaded a lab workflow tool that improved operational efficiency by 40%, and I hold an ISO 27001 Lead Auditor certification.
