About

Most CTOs lose sleep over security compliance. I help them awaken & put the work where it's needed. After a decade of securing 50+ Fortune 500 companies and preventing countless breaches, I've learned that the biggest cyber threat is the gap between knowing you need security and actually implementing it. If you're a CTO, CEO, or Founder asking: → "What happens if we get breached and we're not compliant?" → "How do we protect our AI systems and cloud infrastructure properly?” → "How do we achieve ISO 27001 compliance without building an entire security team?" Know that you're not the only one asking these. Here's what we do differently: We don't just audit your security, we become your external security team. From Mumbai to Pune, from PwC to building SecComply, I've transformed companies from security-vulnerable to bulletproof compliant. My approach is simple: ✓ Fast: Get compliant in 90 days, not 18 months ✓ Premium: Enterprise-level protection without enterprise overhead ✓ Comprehensive: Cover everything from AI security to incident response What this means for your business? → Sleep better knowing your digital assets are protected → Win enterprise clients who demand security certifications
 → Avoid the $4.45M average cost of a data breach → Scale confidently with security that grows with you Recent growth patterns: Helped AI company Astra achieve enterprise-grade security compliance Partnered with Cloudflare and Sprinto to deliver seamless security solutions Guided startups through complex regulatory frameworks (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2) My expertise covers: Virtual CISO Services (your security leadership without the full-time cost) Compliance Acceleration (ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2) AI Security Consulting (protecting your AI systems from emerging threats) Cloud Security Operations (securing your cloud infrastructure end-to-end) Incident Response (rapid containment when seconds matter) Recognitions: → Cloud Security Women Influencer Award winner → Trusted advisor to global enterprises, & Security isn't a one-time project. It’s an ongoing partnership driven towards growth. The goal is to be ready when a cyber threat first targets your company.
