Securing enterprises through ISO 27001 frameworks, proactive risk management, and cutting-edge cybersecurity assurance across East Africa and beyond.
I am a Cybersecurity GRC Specialist with deep expertise in securing financial institutions, critical infrastructure, and enterprise environments across East Africa.
With hands-on experience implementing SIEM solutions, leading PCI DSS certifications, deploying Privileged Access Management (PAM) systems, and conducting comprehensive VAPT assessments, I bridge the gap between technical security and strategic business risk.
My approach integrates internationally recognized frameworks — ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27701, and ISO/IEC 42001 — with practical, ground-level implementation to drive measurable organizational resilience.
Risk frameworks, audit programs, compliance monitoring
VAPT, ethical hacking, API penetration testing

ISO 27001/27701/42001 implementation, audit programs, risk registers, regulatory alignment
Cybersecurity program design, stakeholder alignment, security roadmaps and governance charters
Web application VAPT, API security testing, network pen tests, red team engagements
Security operations center setup, Wazuh/SIEM deployment, threat hunting, log analysis
Firewall policy, IDS/IPS configuration, network segmentation, VPN and Zero Trust architecture
PAM implementation (Arcon), session monitoring, credential vaulting, least privilege enforcement
OS hardening, endpoint security configuration, Endpoint Central deployment, patch management
Security awareness campaigns, phishing simulations, management reporting, board-level briefings
Security labs and self-hosted services built end-to-end — detection engineering, zero-trust access, secrets management, and containerized infrastructure.
Deployed the Wazuh manager, indexer and dashboard in Docker, with Linux and Windows agents shipping logs from the lab
Built custom decoders and rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, covering brute-force, privilege-escalation and file-integrity events
Created dashboards and alert pipelines for authentication failures, malware events and vulnerability findings
Validated detections with controlled attack simulations and tuned noisy rules to reduce false positives
Connected homelab nodes, cloud VMs and mobile devices over an encrypted mesh without exposing services to the internet
Implemented tag-based access controls so each device and user can reach only the services it needs
Advertised LAN subnets and used MagicDNS for stable internal names across the lab
Used Tailscale SSH and exit-node routing for encrypted remote access from anywhere
Self-hosted Passbolt with MariaDB, HTTPS and scheduled encrypted backups in Docker
Created user groups and permission matrices so credentials are shared only with the right lab identities
Enabled TOTP, strong password policies and audit logging for credential access
Tested backup restoration and account recovery to ensure secrets survive failures
Reverse proxy and TLS termination for every internal service, with private DNS names
Docker Compose stacks for monitoring, dashboards, file sync and other internal tools, managed as code
Segmented Docker networks, no public ports, and Tailscale-only access to admin interfaces
Scheduled volume backups, health checks and update automation to keep the stack reliable
25 verified Credly badges plus CISSP and CISM — spanning cybersecurity, GRC, cloud, and API security
Breaking down complex cybersecurity concepts for everyone — from boardrooms to classrooms
A community-driven tech education platform where cybersecurity meets accessibility. Covering threat intelligence, GRC insights, career advice, and the latest in tech — in a language everyone understands.
Whether it's a security audit, a consulting engagement, or a collaboration — I'm ready to help.
