Summary

A determined leader with a passion for Cybersecurity and Most especially GRC. My love for Ensuring compliance with security standards and assiting Organizations to become victims of international sanctions and accruing huge fines has led me to dive deep into the study of the NIST cybersecurity framework, ISO 27001, and acquire in-depth knowledge of PCI-DSS. My goal as a GRC Analyst is to create methodologies to help organizations minimize security risks, Ensure compliance with regulations and standards, as well as support overall organization business objectives as far as meeting regulatory rules and standards are concerned.
