Runal R Bawaskar

I’m a Senior GRC & Information Security Leader with 13+ years of expertise in building and maturing enterprise-level governance, risk, and compliance programs across BFSI, insurance, and global delivery environments. I specialize in ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ITGC, IRDAI Cyber Security compliance, third-party risk management, and VAPT governance — driving organizations toward audit excellence and resilient security operations.

I have a strong track record of achieving certifications, closing audit and regulatory findings within SLA, strengthening enterprise risk posture, and aligning security controls with business objectives. I partner closely with auditors, SOC teams, and engineering owners to ensure compliance, operational continuity, and incident readiness.

With hands-on experience across security policies, incident response drills, data governance, and vulnerability management, I ensure that organizations remain compliant, secure, and resilient even under evolving cyber threats. I’m passionate about advancing cybersecurity maturity — not just meeting standards, but enabling business growth with confidence.
