About Sapna Paul

I build programs that earn customer trust by embedding protection into the product itself—not bolting it on after. Security that developers actually adopt beats security that sits in a policy doc.I\'ve architected GRC infrastructure that enabled FedRAMP Moderate Authorization, transformed vulnerability management to focus on contextual risk rather than chasing CVE counts, and built compliance platforms that scale across multi-cloud environments and millions of users.I started as a software developer and DevOps engineer. I\'ve written production code, built infrastructure as code, designed graph-database dashboards, and automated compliance pipelines. That technical foundation means I don\'t just define security policy—I understand what it takes to implement it.I\'m researching AI Bill of Materials and machine learning supply chain security, speaking on vulnerability management in regulated industries, and building the governance frameworks that will define how enterprises deploy AI safely.When I\'m not doing that, I\'m teaching middle schoolers about online safety in my community.CISA certified. MS in IT Management from UT Dallas. 12 years across financial services, SaaS, and government compliance.
