About Jay Makwana

As a Consultant at Ernst & Young (EY), I bring hands-on experience in evaluating and enhancing cyber resilience across critical domains including governance, endpoint, network, and cloud security. With a strong foundation in GRC, I’ve contributed to the development of Incident Response Plans, conducted secure configuration reviews, and led BCP/DR drills to ensure operational continuity.My role spans across internal IT audits, regulatory compliance (ISO 27001, ISO 22301), and third-party/vendor risk assessments—translating technical findings into actionable insights for stakeholders. I’ve worked on Cloud Security evaluations, Policy alignments, and RFP formulation for cybersecurity initiatives.Driven by a structured, detail-oriented approach, I aim to bridge the gap between technical risks and business priorities—supporting organizations in building secure, resilient, and compliant ecosystems.
