Teo Liang Wei | Singapore GRC, ISO 27001, technology risk, and IT compliance

Teo Liang Wei helps teams turn policy into practice.

I work across security, compliance, and technology risk with a bias toward operational clarity. I am comfortable leading from inside an organisation or supporting from the outside in an advisory capacity, helping teams build stronger controls, better habits, and calmer execution without losing the human side of how organisations actually operate.

  • Flexible across in-house leadership and advisory work
  • Across banking, technology, crypto, and audit
  • CISA and ISO 27001 internal auditor

About

From tech curiosity to practical GRC.

I did not set out expecting to build a career in GRC. I studied Mathematics and Economics, was curious about technology and data, and gradually found myself drawn to the work of making systems understandable, governable, and resilient.

Over time, that turned into a professional edge: I am most useful when I can bridge policy and practice. I enjoy working with engineering, security, operations, and leadership to turn controls into habits, audits into progress, and risk into something teams can actually act on.

I am versatile about how that value gets applied. In some cases that means leading from within as a senior risk, controls, or security governance owner. In others, it means stepping in to help an organisation navigate a focused assignment such as ISO 27001 implementation, audit readiness, remediation planning, or control uplift. I care about doing solid work, communicating clearly, and helping organisations build systems that are both compliant and practical.
