About Manal

Cybersecurity consultant specializing in IT governance, risk management, and compliance. For over 10 years, I have been assisting international organizations in managing their security challenges.

My approach is based on a strong conviction: cybersecurity is not a technical constraint, but a business enabler and, above all, everyone's responsibility. I support business teams, technical teams, and management in implementing security measures adapted to business needs and operational realities.

Through my missions, I have developed solid experience in:
- Security audits and third-party audits,
- Risk management (ISO 27005, EBIOS),
- Regulatory compliance (GDPR, PCI DSS),
- Integrating security into IT projects,
- Managing action plans and security programs.

I have notably assisted organizations such as Disneyland Paris (in-house), Chanel, Bouygues Télécom, Société Générale, and Enedis on governance, compliance, and project security issues.

I particularly appreciate international environments and contexts that require building bridges between international and local teams. My role often involves facilitating communication, uniting stakeholders, and making cybersecurity topics accessible through clear, educational, and solution-oriented communication.

Recognized for my energy, interpersonal skills, and adaptability, I work with a collaborative and impact-oriented approach, ensuring a balance between security requirements, on-the-ground realities, and business objectives.

Beyond cybersecurity expertise, I bring a strong ability to unite teams, demystify security issues, and foster effective dialogue between management, business units, and technical teams.
