I help startups and growing businesses reduce cyber risk, prepare for audits, and build customer trust with practical cybersecurity consulting. With 15+ years of experience in cybersecurity and security product building, I bring a mix of strategic thinking, hands-on execution, and customer-focused problem solving. I have worked across compliance, vulnerability management, cloud security, and security operations, and I understand both how security products are built and how security programs need to work in the real world. Today, I work with businesses that need clear security direction, stronger controls, and better readiness for customer due diligence, audits, and growth. My consulting services include: 1. Risk Assessments 2. Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT) 3. Audit Readiness for ISO 27001, SOC 2, and other frameworks 4. Gap Analysis 5. Technical Control Mapping and Framework Cross-Mapping 6. Remediation Guidance What makes my approach different is that I do not look at security only from a checklist perspective. I combine product thinking, business context, and practical security execution to help teams focus on what matters most. If you are building, scaling, or preparing for audits and need practical cybersecurity support, let’s connect. DM me “Audit Ready” if you want a quick 30-minute readiness review.
