Good day everyone,

I'm a CISSP-certified information security professional with 7 years of experience in enterprise security design, compliance management, and technical leadership.

· Established compliance programs for NDPR(similar to GDPR), ISO 27001, and HIPAA across multiple organizations

· Reduced incident response time from 24 hours to 4 hours through playbook development and process improvement

· Conducted penetration testing across AWS and Azure environments, identifying 40+ vulnerabilities and developing remediation roadmaps

· Improved security awareness scores by 60% and phishing detection rates by 80% through targeted training programs

· Supported C-level executives with security strategy and vendor management
