As an experienced Information Security Expert, I help organizations build data governance, GRC, and IAM programs that pass audits, close compliance gaps, and reduce security risk — without slowing the business down. Over the past 8+ years I've built these programs from the ground up for enterprises including a global NGO, a Fortune 500 tech company (on a project for one of Africa's largest banks), and a multinational FMCG client. Recent results include: Built an enterprise GRC framework aligned to ISO 27001, GDPR, and NIST-CSF — cutting audit non-compliance by 72% and avoiding an estimated $30K+ in penalties Led IAM/access governance using SailPoint and Okta, automating provisioning and cutting onboarding time by 40% Directed risk assessments across 13+ IT systems, cutting overall risk exposure by 70% Designed and delivered security awareness training to 500+ employees, reducing phishing click-through by 52% Ran master data governance and compliance-reporting programs across 24+ systems for a major bank, cutting non-conformities by up to 81% What I can do for you: Design or audit your GRC/compliance program (ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST-CSF, PCI DSS) Build or clean up IAM: access governance, RBAC, Zero Trust, SSO, MFA (SailPoint, Okta, Azure AD) Run a risk assessment, security audit, or vulnerability review and give you a prioritized remediation plan Set up data classification and DLP (Microsoft Purview) so sensitive data is actually protected Write the policies, standards, and documentation your auditors will actually ask for I'm newer to Upwork specifically, but not new to this work — happy to start with a smaller-scope engagement (a policy review, a gap assessment, an access audit) so you can see how I work before committing to something larger. Certifications: CISSP, IBM Cybersecurity Analyst Professional, IBM Data Analysis, Microsoft Secure Access with Azure AD.
