ABOUT ANITA A.
DM for Resume reviews, interview prep support and cybersecurity mentorship request!I am a Cybersecurity and GRC professional with over a decade of combined experience in compliance auditing, risk management, and IT governance across sectors including financial institutions, public sector and regulatory bodies.At the Law Society of Ontario, I led compliance audits, contributed to the automation of manual audit processes, and developed training and QA programs to strengthen regulatory oversight. Later, at Grant Thornton, I expanded into IT and cybersecurity audits, helping clients align with global frameworks such as ISO 27001, CIS Controls, and NIST CSF while identifying process and control gaps.Beyond corporate roles, I have worked as an independent consultant for 4+ years, mapping processes in Visio, testing internal controls, and advising clients on risk mitigation and operational resilience.My focus today is on governance and cybersecurity risk management in cloud and AI environments, exploring how organizations can safely scale innovation without compromising compliance or trust.I believe auditors and cybersecurity professionals serve best as partners in resilience, not enforcers of rules. My mission is to help organizations see compliance as a path to efficiency, not bureaucracy.Let’s connect if you’re passionate about building secure, ethical, and forward-thinking systems that align with the realities of digital transformation.
