Ensure alignment with frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, HIPAA, PCI, and GDPR / CCPA. Deliver risk assessments, remediation roadmaps, and executive-ready reports.
• Collaboration : Work closely with data, analytics, ML, DevOps, and security teams to embed controls across the data lifecycle. Contribute to reusable playbooks, policies, and open-source reference stacks. Support pre-sales by assisting with workshops, scoping, and proposals.
