📌 Featured Projects

🛡️ Technical GRC & Policy Analysis

Governance · Risk Assessment · Compliance Management · Policy Enforcement

Applied GRC coursework building typed, evidence-driven decision pipelines rather than checklist-based reviews:

• Policy-as-code control engine (Open Policy Agent / Rego) — maps internal control state to ISO/IEC 27001 Annex A and NIST CSF 2.0 identifiers, with fail-closed exception handling
• Vendor risk verification pipeline (Python) — cross-checks vendor self-attestations (SIG/SOC 2/DPA) against raw telemetry to surface contradictions, evidence-sufficiency gaps, and undisclosed subprocessors
• Deterministic ISO/IEC 27001 internal audit engine — first-match severity classification (design / systemic / recurrence / operating / evidence gaps) applied consistently across 12 Annex A controls, with reproducible, seeded evidence sampling
