Cyber Security Engineer -GRC
I am a Cyber Security Engineer - GRC with 1–2 years of experience at Cognizant, where I've successfully managed over 100 RSA Archer data feeds, ensuring precise integration of risk, compliance, and governance data for streamlined reporting and audit support. I'm particularly proud of my role in guiding my team to adhere to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards, which significantly enhanced our compliance framework. As I continue to build my expertise in cybersecurity, I am focused on advancing to a more specialized role as a Cybersecurity Engineer, where I can further contribute to securing critical systems and data.
