Yashika P.
Fractional CISO | Your no frills SOC 2 Expert | Vanta & Drata
I'm here to take the stress out of compliance! With 12+ years of stint at Big 4 firms, I specialize in transforming complex regulatory headaches into smooth, manageable security programs. My focus is on helping high-growth startups like yours move quickly, build trust with customers, and pass critical audits efficiently—all while keeping costs smart and scalable. What I Bring to the Table: 1. SOC 2 Success, Guaranteed: Think of me as your compliance co-pilot. I guide you through the entire SOC 2 journey (Type I & II), helping you scope controls, assess risks, and put systems in place that auditors love. I handle the liaison, you focus on innovation. 2. Practical IT Audit & Controls: Beyond SOC 2, I deliver practical IT audit solutions across frameworks (ISO 27001, HIPAA, SOX). I ensure your fundamental controls—like user access and change management—are not just compliant on paper, but actually work seamlessly for your team. 3. Internal Controls & Efficiency: Drawing on experience in financial services (with strong knowledge of EU regulatory frameworks), I help mature your control environment without creating unnecessary bureaucracy. I apply best-practice frameworks like COSO (Internal Controls), COBIT (IT Governance), and ISO 27001. I am an expert in managing the full audit lifecycle—planning, independent execution, and delivering clear, structured reports to senior stakeholders.
