AI security · AI governance · Post-quantum readiness
I lead product and technology at Purplecop Security, where we build compliance automation for GRC, AI governance and privacy. My work sits where three shifts meet: AI agents acting on real systems, AI regulation becoming enforceable, and the move to post-quantum cryptography. Each one turns into the same question for a security leader. What control proves this is safe, and what evidence shows it is working?
| Area | What I work on |
|---|---|
| AI security | Controls for AI agents: tool-call authorization, runtime governance, agent identity, audit trails that hold up |
| AI governance | ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and India's DPDP Act, turned into controls a team can actually operate |
| Post-quantum readiness | Cryptographic inventory, crypto-agility and migration governance, framed as a risk programme rather than an algorithm swap |
| GRC engineering | Continuous evidence instead of annual audits, controls as code, multi-framework crosswalks using NIST IR 8477 set-theory mapping |
| Project | |
|---|---|
| GRC Practice Lab | 400+ controls across 9 frameworks, 11 guided scenarios, 12 portfolio projects and a full ISO 27001 Lead Implementer course. Free with an account. (source) |
| GRC Made Simple templates | Practitioner-grade templates for ISO 27001, ISO 42001, SOC 2 and NIST CSF. |
GRC Made Simple teaches GRC for free: the GRC Practice Lab has 11,000+ active users in 34 countries.
