About Felix Theophilus

Compliance without context is just paperwork. Policy without purpose is just process. The real work is in connecting regulations to business operations that thrive.With 4+ years in GRC across healthcare, fintech, and vendor ecosystems, I specialize in turning complex frameworks—GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, SOC 2, ISO 27001- into practical controls. My approach blends analytical gap analysis, risk benchmarking, and digital platform implementation to build scalable systems that minimize exposure without stifling innovation.I thrive on monitoring KRIs, maintaining dynamic risk registers, and leading workshops that foster risk-aware cultures. Whether aligning policies to industry standards or automating compliance tracking, I focus on what works when regulators knock.I translate complex registers into scalable systems—from clinical ops to fintech security—that protect without slowing growth.
