Naren R.

DevSecOps & Cloud Security Consultant | AWS, GCP, SOC 2, HIPAA

Enterprise deals slow down or fall through entirely when security and compliance aren't built into your cloud platform from the start. I help SaaS startups, Healthcare platforms, and AI companies fix that: building secure, scalable, and audit-ready cloud environments across AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes without slowing engineering teams down. I'm Naren, Founder & CEO of Prokopto, a cloud security, DevSecOps, and compliance consulting firm. I work directly with founders, CTOs, and engineering teams, bringing strategic security leadership and hands-on engineering execution to every engagement. My focus is helping organizations achieve SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001 readiness while building cloud platforms that support enterprise growth. I've partnered with SaaS startups, Healthcare organizations, and AI companies to strengthen cloud security, implement DevSecOps practices, and prepare for SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, NIST, CIS Benchmarks, and GRC programs. From cloud architecture reviews and Kubernetes hardening to audit readiness and governance, I deliver practical, scalable security that supports business growth.
