What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading GRC, privacy or information security programs where I can design robust controls, run audits, and build remote-compliant processes.

I am a governance, compliance and risk executive with deep expertise in information security, privacy and audit frameworks, including NIST CSF, COBIT 2019, ISO 27001/42001, HIPAA and GDPR.

At Lunga Mazikana Attorneys I directed a firm-wide compliance program, architected and deployed virtual ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 management systems, and reduced regulatory risk exposure by 40% through targeted IT governance and policies.

I led remote compliance monitoring using GRC platforms to automate control testing and evidence collection (increasing audit efficiency by 60%), executed remote compliance audits as a CISA, and delivered virtual training achieving very high completion rates.

I am results-driven, experienced in coordinating compliance programs, preparing audit evidence and reports for executive leadership, and supporting data privacy operations including DSARs and data processing registers.
