Cybersecurity SOC Analyst transitioning into junior GRC & IT compliance, focused on risk and control validation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented cybersecurity professional with hands-on SOC and security operations experience, actively transitioning into Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). My work blends operational security visibility with a controls-and-evidence mindset—so compliance decisions are grounded in real monitoring and risk context.
As a SOC & Security Operations Intern at Cyberster, I deployed and operated Wazuh SIEM for continuous log analysis and alert correlation. I handled incident triage and classification based on severity metrics, performed network traffic analysis with Wireshark, and supported network security posture validation using pfSense. In simulated investigations, I used FTK Imager, Volatility, and Arsenal Image Mounter for evidence handling and forensic analysis, and then translated findings into structured security reporting for supervisory review.
Alongside security operations, I built compliance discipline through my Sales & Compliance Representative experience in a pharmaceutical environment. I followed strict regulatory SOPs and government-mandated reporting standards, maintained audit-ready documentation with clear traceability, and escalated potential compliance deviations to support timely corrective action.
I’m also developing deeper GRC capability through certifications and self-directed projects. I’m a Certified ISO/IEC 27701:2025 Lead Auditor and I focus on ISO/IEC 27001 and 27701, NIST CSF, GDPR, and HIPAA concepts in practice—building risk registers, performing gap analysis, and running SIEM-based compliance monitoring labs that map security outputs to control validation and audit trails.
