Compliance Readiness & Audit Support: I help teams prepare for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, CIS, CMMC, FedRAMP-related readiness, GCC, GCC High, CUI, and ITAR requirements with gap assessments, hardening, evidence packages, SSP support, PoA&M support, and audit coordination. 𝟲. Microsoft 365 & Azure Security Hardening: I harden Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, Exchange Online, Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Endpoint Manager, Microsoft Purview, and Microsoft Sentinel so your environment is safer, easier to manage, and more audit-ready. 𝟳. Security Forensics & Incident Response: I help with phishing attacks, Microsoft 365 compromise, tenant hacking, suspicious access, malware, breach recovery, cloud billing abuse, IAM abuse, and post-incident security uplift. 𝟴. Risk Assessment & Security Roadmaps: I deliver executive-level reports, technical remediation plans, architecture diagrams, roadmap guidance, and ongoing advisory support for CISOs, IT leaders, security teams, and compliance teams. 𝟵. AI Security & Automation: I help teams adopt AI without creating new security risks by reviewing data exposure, access controls, Microsoft Copilot readiness, AI workflow security, and automation opportunities across cloud, compliance, and incident response.
