About Michelle Osiyah

I work with diverse clients to assess, improve, and implement cybersecurity controls aligned with industry standards and regulatory frameworks. My focus includes cloud security, risk assessments, control testing, and supporting compliance readiness efforts.I enjoy working in environments that promote critical thinking, research-backed approaches, and mentorship. I thrive when exploring emerging tech risks, streamlining controls, and building resilient digital ecosystems.In my downtime, I’m a beach enthusiast who can’t swim (yet), mildly obsessed with sweet mangoes, and firmly anti-pickles.
