Background

About John Seyda

I am a Senior Consultant in IT Risk Advisory and Cybersecurity with a proven track record of helping organizations strengthen their governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) programs. Since starting as an intern nearly three years ago, I have earned two promotions and now lead client engagements across multiple industries, guiding executives and teams through today’s fast-changing regulatory and cyber landscape. I bring hands-on expertise with frameworks such as NIST, SOX, GDPR, PCI DSS, and CCPA, along with ITGC compliance testing. As a lead implementor of GRC platforms including Workiva, I have designed and deployed solutions that improve compliance efficiency, reduce risk exposure, and create lasting business value. Beyond compliance, I thrive in technology-driven transformation. I have contributed to projects involving AI/ML and digital operations. My focus is always on bridging the gap between technical rigor and business strategy, ensuring clients not only meet requirements but also build resilient, future-ready organizations.
