Designed a strategic cybersecurity roadmap aligned with global standards (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST), incorporating real-time threat monitoring and incident response mechanisms.

Technology Integration

Deployed advanced threat detection systems, multi-factor authentication, and secure access controls across all critical endpoints. 

Awareness & Training

Implemented ongoing cybersecurity training for staff, creating a culture of security awareness and accountability. 

Governance & Compliance

Established governance protocols to ensure continuous compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and other applicable regulations. 

Outcome

  • Achieved a 60% reduction in security vulnerabilities within the first six months of implementation.
