Technology Consultant
KPMG.
Currently working within KPMG's Cyber Security practice delivering a privileged identity access management (PIAM)
solution tool to drive operating model transformation within a global pharmaceutical organisation. Through securing critical
assets, the work will ultimately ensure that drug manufacturing processes which help millions of people worldwide are not at risk of being compromised.
Main responsibilities have included:
- Managing end-to-end PIAM journey with client stakeholders, building and maintaining relationships with them

o Collaborating with and managing highly challenging technical stakeholders to define new privileged
access strategies and policies.
- Co-leading in a team of two to design and deliver a privileged account Inventory report across the top ten
highest-risk SOX applications. This involved:
o Conducting extensive quantitative and qualitative research into client's IT estate (incl. Windows, Unix, MS SQL, Oracle, AS400, HANA) to understand and address major gaps in PIAM financial security
controls, leading to the mitigation of privileged user account risk for 30,000 accounts.
o Acting as the key liaison contact to update senior stakeholders and presenting weekly updates to project sponsor, which involved interpreting project outputs for a non-technical audience.
o Led training sessions with the client stakeholder to upskill team and transfer over activities.
