Janakiraman

CISO & System Administrator | Enterprise Security & Infrastructure Architect Securing the Systems That Business Runs On.

With over a decade of experience across cybersecurity, infrastructure, and compliance, I don't just keep systems running — I build the operational foundation that organizations rely on to stay secure, audit-ready, and always available. As CISO and System Administrator, I own the full security lifecycle of a 700-user enterprise, backed by active SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 certifications.
Most organizations treat security as a reaction — something you fix after a breach or clean up before an audit. I build it in from the start. My focus is a unified security environment where identity, endpoints, network, and compliance are not separate concerns but a single, coherent system. I bring the rigour of a compliance professional and the precision of an infrastructure engineer — and I measure success in one way: a security posture that holds, consistently.
A techy who understands civil, Ai and Rajini . all rounder Core Expertise
I lead end-to-end security and infrastructure operations, turning complexity into control through:
Identity & Access Architecture: Hybrid Active Directory, Azure AD / Entra ID, MFA, Conditional Access, LAPS, and Windows Hello for Business across the enterprise.
Security Operations: Wazuh SIEM deployment and tuning, Seqrite endpoint protection, pfSense perimeter security, OpenVPN with FreeRADIUS MFA, and 24/7 threat visibility.
Compliance Ownership: SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 stewardship, vendor risk assessments, and regulatory alignment under the DPDP Act 2023.
Infrastructure & Automation: Proxmox virtualization, Windows Server 2022, cloud migration (AWS to on-prem), and custom Python/PowerShell tooling that eliminates manual toil at scale.
A Proven Track Record
From identity infrastructure and endpoint fleet management to SIEM operations and internal tool development, I have built and sustained a security function that is proactive, auditable, and resilient by design. My strength lies in making security invisible to the business — running quietly in the background so teams can operate without friction or fear. Let's Secure What Matters
Cybersecurity is no longer an IT concern — it is a board-level imperative. I am passionate about helping organizations move from reactive security management to structured, certifiable, and continuously improving security operations. I believe technology should protect the business, not burden it
