I have extensive experience working with various risk assessment frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, and COBIT within technology environments. My role involved identifying vulnerabilities, assessing risks, and recommending mitigation strategies to ensure compliance with industry standards. I've collaborated with IT and security teams to implement controls that address identified risks, ensuring the organization's technology infrastructure aligns with regulatory requirements and best practices.

I stay updated by subscribing to industry newsletters, attending webinars, and participating in professional groups focused on technology risk and compliance. I also regularly review updates from regulatory bodies like the SEC, GDPR, and PCI SSC. This continuous learning approach enables me to anticipate changes in the regulatory landscape and advise on proactive measures to mitigate emerging technology risks.

In my previous role, I discovered a compliance gap where data encryption standards were not being met for sensitive customer information. I conducted a thorough risk assessment, presented my findings to senior management, and led the initiative to implement encryption solutions. This not only closed the compliance gap but also enhanced our data security posture, demonstrating the importance of proactive risk management.

I use clear, jargon-free language and real-world examples to explain technology risks and compliance requirements to non-technical stakeholders. I focus on the business impact, such as potential fines or reputational damage, to highlight the importance of compliance. Tailoring my communication to the audience's level of understanding ensures they grasp the significance of these issues and supports collaborative efforts to address them.

To ensure continuous compliance, I implement a dynamic compliance program that includes regular audits, employee training, and the adoption of agile risk management practices. Leveraging automation tools for monitoring and reporting helps in quickly identifying and addressing compliance deviations. This proactive and flexible approach ensures that the organization remains compliant despite the fast-paced changes in technology and regulations.
