I build auditable AWS security controls and compliance mappings for cloud governance and risk management.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I build and document AWS cloud security labs that turn governance and regulatory requirements into verifiable technical controls.
In my AWS Identity & Perimeter Defense Lab, I designed least-privilege IAM roles, enforced IP-restricted S3 access, captured CloudTrail evidence, and codified controls in Terraform for repeatable deployment.
I’ve also created FinTech third-party risk and enterprise identity governance frameworks, mapping DORA, GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001/27701, SOC 2, and NIST SP 800-53 requirements to vendor and cloud controls.
Alongside my cloud GRC work, I manage end-to-end retail operations at PNA - Colour Your World, leading 22 staff, maintaining process compliance, reducing shrinkage, and supporting 10% revenue growth over two financial years.
