Background

About Salman Patel

I am a Senior Cybersecurity GRC & Information Security Consultant with over 8 years’ experience across Saudi Arabia and UAE, delivering governance, risk, compliance, and security operations programs that strengthen organizational resilience. My expertise includes aligning with NCA ECC, SAMA Cybersecurity Framework, NESA IAS, and NIST CSF to keep organizations audit-ready and compliant with both regional and international standards. I have hands-on experience in ISO/IEC 27001 implementation, ISO 27005 risk management, vulnerability management, SOC operations, and regulatory audit readiness. I develop and enforce cybersecurity policies, manage relationships with regulators, and ensure security controls are effectively embedded across the enterprise. My work bridges the gap between strategic governance and operational security, ensuring measurable risk reduction, regulatory compliance, and a strong security culture.
