About Dr Harbir

AI Governance & Compliance Consultant | Move from AI Pilots to Audit-Ready Operations

With 19+ years in enterprise risk and compliance, I help regulated organizations establish governance-driven AI programs without slowing innovation. I focus on operationalizing controls, not just building policies—getting you audit-ready and compliant with ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and EU AI Act requirements.

What I Do:
Turn fragmented AI initiatives into scalable governance structures. Help your teams navigate ISO 27001 & ISO 42001 certification, EU AI Act readiness, and AI-specific cybersecurity controls. I've helped 25+ enterprises reduce compliance risk while accelerating secure AI adoption across fintech, healthcare, and SaaS.
Proven Outcomes:
✔ Achieved ISO 27001 & ISO 42001 certification readiness with zero major audit findings
✔ Reduced AI and cybersecurity audit findings by 55%+ within 5–6 months
✔ Cut compliance timelines by 12+ weeks through structured execution, not advisory reports
✔ Resolved 300+ governance, security, and compliance control gaps
✔ Built audit-ready AI governance programs that enable teams to scale responsibly

My Approach:
Implementation-first. I conduct AI governance and cybersecurity assessments, design scalable control frameworks aligned with your business, and guide execution—not just hand over a report. You get clarity on regulatory requirements, actionable remediation roadmaps, and governance structures that stick.
