As the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), I lead efforts to protect the organization's data and systems by building and executing a security strategy that aligns with our business goals. My focus is on identifying risks, ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR and PCI DSS, and implementing measures that keep us secure. From developing policies to managing security incidents, I make sure we're always prepared for any challenges. I also run company wide security training to foster awareness and build a culture of security. Additionally, I work with different teams to make sure security is built into everything we do from the start, helping the company stay protected.
