I support organizations in building strong cybersecurity governance, including risk appetite decisions, policy development, and virtual CISO services. I perform comprehensive risk management through assessments, security testing, third-party vendor evaluations, and incident response planning. On the compliance side, I deliver gap analysis and remediation, security awareness training, and audit readiness support for certifications such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS.
This Service Includes:
Certification & Audit Readiness : I prepare organizations for security certifications and audits (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, etc.) by aligning policies, controls, documentation, and evidence with audit requirements.
Risk Appetite Decisions : I help organizations define and formalize their risk tolerance and acceptable exposure levels, ensuring security decisions are aligned with business goals and strategic priorities.
Policies & Procedures : I develop, update, and implement security policies and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to establish consistent controls and improve operational security across the organization.
Virtual CISO (vCISO) : I act as a remote security leader, providing strategic oversight, security program management, and executive-level guidance without the need for a full-time CISO.
Risk Assessment : I perform comprehensive risk assessments to identify threats, vulnerabilities, and potential impacts, delivering actionable recommendations to reduce exposure and improve security posture.
Security Testing : I conduct security testing, including vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, to validate the effectiveness of security controls and identify weaknesses before they are exploited.
3rd Party Vendor Risk Assessment : I evaluate the security posture of vendors and partners to ensure third-party risk is identified, measured, and managed through appropriate controls and contractual requirements.
Incident Response Plans : I develop and enhance incident response plans, playbooks, and runbooks to ensure organizations can detect, respond, and recover quickly from security incidents.
Gap Analysis : I assess current security controls against regulatory requirements and best practices to identify gaps and prioritize remediation efforts.
Gap Remediation : I support the implementation of remediation plans to close security gaps, improve compliance posture, and strengthen overall cybersecurity maturity.
Security Awareness Training : I design and deliver security awareness training programs to educate employees on threats, best practices, and secure behavior, reducing human risk factors.
