About Sami Kabir

Experienced security and compliance professional with over 7 years of success driving enterprise-wide risk management, governance, and audit strategy across Fortune 500 and high-growth environments. I specialize in aligning technical controls with business objectives, building scalable cloud compliance frameworks, and delivering regulatory readiness across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and NIST frameworks.Currently serving as a Security Specialist at IBM, I’ve led initiatives that improved audit automation, reduced evidence collection time, and embedded DevSecOps practices directly into the SDLC. My career includes key roles at Apple and A-LIGN, where I successfully delivered multiple SOC 2/HIPAA attestations, conducted high-impact Privacy Impact Assessments, and optimized cloud migration strategies that enhanced security posture and business continuity.What sets me apart is a hybrid strength: I pair deep technical knowledge with strategic leadership. I’ve worked cross-functionally with engineering, audit, and product teams to ensure risk governance is not just maintained, but operationalized.I hold certifications including CISSP, CISA, CISM, and CCSK, and I’m currently completing my Doctor of Engineering in Cybersecurity Analytics at Penn State.
