About Pulkit Saraf

I lead identity governance, access assurance, and compliance programs for one of the world\'s largest financial institutions. Before this, I spent 5+ years at HSBC and nearly 3 years at NielsenIQ — building and hardening IAM frameworks across global, regulated environments.What I actually do day-to-day:→ Design and manage Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) frameworks that reduce over-provisioning and audit risk.→ Lead recertification campaigns across enterprise user populations.→ Deploy and manage Azure AD Access Packages to streamline access lifecycle for hybrid environments.→ Monitor privileged accounts through CyberArk PAM — catching anomalies before they become incidents.→ Drive SOX compliance readiness and support regulatory audits — turning findings into controls.I\'m also the person who builds KPI/KRI dashboards in Power BI so leadership can actually see the state of access risk — not just hear about it in a slide deck.My background spans IAM operations, access governance, incident response, and cross-functional collaboration with IT, Compliance, and Audit teams. I\'ve worked across Mainframe (Z/OS, RACF), web platforms, and cloud infrastructure — giving me a rare end-to-end view of identity security.Certifications: Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals | SAFe Scrum Master | SailPoint Identity Security LeaderIf you\'re building or scaling an IAM program — or looking for someone who can bridge the gap between security operations and governance — let\'s connect.
