GRC & Cybersecurity Analyst focused on enterprise governance, risk management, compliance, and security operations — aligned with NCA ECC and ISO/IEC 27001.
About
GRC & Cybersecurity Analyst with a B.Sc. in Information Security from the University of Ha'il. My work sits at the intersection of governance strategy and security operations — translating regulatory frameworks into measurable risk reduction for organisations.
During my co-op at the General Directorate of Cybersecurity, Hail Municipality, I built a Cyber Risk Management Portal aligned with NCA ECC, conducted risk assessments, maintained risk registers, and ran vulnerability scans in a live government environment.
I lead the Cybersecurity Club at the University of Ha'il and serve as University Ambassador at Tuwaiq Club — building community, running security awareness programmes, and connecting students with the broader industry.
