GRC Consultant | SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST & HIPAA Compliance

Brossard, Canada
$42 per hour
3 jobs
$5K+ total earnings

I help organizations achieve audit-ready compliance across SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST SP 800-171, HIPAA, and other security frameworks, with a structured, practical, and results-driven approach. As a Cybersecurity & GRC Consultant, I specialize in designing and implementing complete compliance programs from the ground up, including control mapping, policy development, risk assessments, and audit preparation. I don’t just deliver documentation, I ensure your controls are properly implemented, your evidence is aligned, and your environment is ready to withstand real audits. Recently, I led a full NIST SP 800-171 compliance engagement, developing the SSP and POA&M, supporting control implementation, and bringing the organization to an SPRS score of 110. My expertise covers: • SOC 2 (Type I & II readiness) • ISO 27001 implementation & documentation • NIST SP 800-171 / CMMC compliance • HIPAA security rule alignment • Risk assessments and control frameworks • Policy and procedure development • Audit readiness and evidence preparation What sets my approach apart: • Framework-agnostic methodology (I adapt to your compliance needs) • Practical, implementation-focused guidance (not just theory) • Clear, structured, and audit-ready deliverables If you need to build, fix, or scale your compliance program, I can help you get there efficiently and correctly.

Regulatory Risk Consultant (Comparative Law & AI-Focused)

Gatineau, Canada
$50 per hour
9 jobs

Regulatory environments don’t exist in isolation — neither should your compliance architecture. I help organizations navigate overlapping legal systems and AI-driven operational models through comparative regulatory analysis and structured risk mapping. The Comparative Advantage As a jurist with a Master’s in International & European Law, my expertise is defined by method, not by one statute. I analyze how regulatory frameworks intersect, where obligations converge or conflict, and how those tensions translate into operational exposure. My methodology converts legal complexity into structured risk matrices designed for: • Multi-Market Operations: Aligning compliance across jurisdictions while reducing redundancy and regulatory friction. • AI & Digital Innovation: Identifying exposure in AI-driven systems, data workflows, and copyright-sensitive environments. • Structural Risk Audits: Conducting large-scale gap analyses to detect systemic vulnerabilities before they escalate. Precision & Execution Strategic analysis must translate into operational clarity. I ensure compliance is reflected in every layer of documentation and implementation: • Cross-border contract review and DPA structuring • Policy drafting and decision-ready regulatory briefs • Technical legal proofreading in bilingual (English/French) regulatory environments • AI data integrity verification supporting legally sensitive workflows Selected Impact • Audited 200+ digital applications using a replicable comparative compliance framework • Delivered cross-border DPA harmonization and regulatory gap assessments • Designed end-to-end compliance modernization frameworks for digital communications and AI-enabled operations I don’t deliver abstract legal commentary — I provide structured regulatory roadmaps that decision-makers can act on with confidence.
