About Sabir

I have more than 4 years of professional experience across IT audit, financial audit, and consulting.
My current focus is on IT audit, where I have gained hands-on experience with IT General Controls (ITGC) and information security frameworks.

I am also certified as an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Auditor, which strengthens my knowledge of international standards in information security.

Earlier in my career, I worked in financial audit and consulting, which gave me exposure to risk management, compliance, and business process improvement. This mix of IT and financial backgrounds allows me to approach audit assignments with both a technical and business-oriented perspective.

I am open to new IT audit projects, with a particular interest in ISO/IEC 27001 certification audits.
