Fig. 01 — Gaurav Sharma · identity, data, AI
Welcome.
Identity. Data. AI.
I'm Gaurav Sharma — a cybersecurity consultant working across identity, data, and AI security: IAM/PAM/CIAM, data security (CASB, SSE, ZTNA), and where AI is quietly becoming the fourth identity problem no one's governing yet. I also train teams across all three, when the fix is capability, not just architecture.
Three practices. Equal weight.
IAM / PAM / CIAM / NHI
Workforce and customer identity, privileged access, SSO / MFA, and the operating model after go-live.
Data security
CASB, SSE, ZTNA, DLP — how data actually leaves, including privileged export paths. DPDP when the program is identity plus data.
AI security
Its own domain: agents, models, and the data they touch. Not a subtitle under PAM. Guardrails, access, and operator training for AI estates.
Two ways to work together
Train your team
Identity, data, and AI workshops your people can reuse on the job — including PAM operations and breach teardowns.
Build or advise on the program
Architecture and delivery across IAM / PAM / CIAM, data security, or AI security — with an operating model the team can run.
