    I'm a cybersecurity and IT risk specialist with over 10 years of experience helping organizations protect their assets, maintain compliance, and mature their security programs. My background spans corporate, healthcare, and telecom environments, with deep hands-on experience across governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), audit, infrastructure security, and incident response. Here’s what I bring to the table: Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC): I’ve led the full implementation of GRC platforms (Eramba), managed SOC 2 readiness and audits (Type I & II), and driven cross-functional adoption of security policies and processes aligned with industry standards. I regularly assess third-party vendors, maintain audit evidence, and liaise with external auditors to ensure smooth compliance workflows. Security Assessments & Vulnerability Management: I deploy and manage internal/external vulnerability scans using Tenable Nessus Pro, assess risk based on asset criticality, and create reporting that translates technical findings into business-aligned decisions. I’ve also conducted in-depth infrastructure assessments and led phishing simulation campaigns to reduce human risk factors. IT Audit & Advisory: My audit work includes IT general controls (ITGC), cybersecurity frameworks (CIS, NIST), governance standards (COBIT), and DR/BCP strategies (ISO 27031). I’ve delivered strategic findings to C-level stakeholders, built tools to automate audit analytics, and designed custom audit programs for remote environments during the COVID-19 shift. Security Operations & Technical Controls: I’ve maintained enterprise-grade firewalls (FortiGate), deployed endpoint protection solutions, and implemented layered network security architectures (IDS/IPS, 802.1X, VLANs, PKI). I also have experience designing and testing Incident Response Plans and Disaster Recovery Plans tailored to real-world risk scenarios. Communication & Collaboration: I excel at translating complex security concepts for non-technical stakeholders, supporting both technical and business units. Whether I’m helping a client pass their first audit or coaching internal teams on risk awareness, I take pride in being the bridge between compliance requirements and practical solutions. Currently, I’m open to freelance or contract opportunities related to: * Security assessments and GRC implementation * SOC 2 / ISO 27001 readiness * Audit support and evidence review * Risk reporting and policy development * Technical writing (narratives, playbooks, runbooks) * Vendor risk management and questionnaire support * IT compliance consulting Let’s work together to strengthen your security posture and meet your compliance goals — without all the buzzword fluff. I deliver clear communication, fast turnaround, and work that speaks for itself.
