Security That Stands Up to Auditors —
and to Attackers

We help SEA businesses meet MAS TRM, PDPA, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 — and build the controls that actually protect them between audits.

Built Around the Frameworks That Matter in SEA

Our team holds Lead Auditor and assessor credentials across the frameworks Singapore and SEA enterprises live under.

MAS TRM

MAS TRM Guidelines

Technology Risk Management for financial institutions in Singapore.

PDPA

PDPA (Singapore)

Personal Data Protection Act compliance, including DPO outsourcing.

ISO 27001

ISO/IEC 27001

Information Security Management System certification readiness.

SOC 2

SOC 2 (Type I & II)

Essential for SaaS companies selling to US enterprise customers.

CYBERSECURITY ACT

Cybersecurity Act (Singapore)

For Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) operators.

CROSS-BORDER

HIPAA · GDPR · PIPL

For clients with international or cross-border data exposure.

We're a Fit If You're...

Preparing for ISO 27001 or SOC 2 within 6 months

With a real audit deadline and a small or no internal security team.

A fintech or payments firm under MAS scrutiny

Needing TRM alignment, third-party risk management, or incident reporting capability.

A SaaS expanding to EU, US, or enterprise deals

Where prospects are asking for SOC 2 reports before they'll sign.

Operating without a full-time CISO

And needing senior security leadership without the SGD 250K+ salary commitment.

From Strategy to Sign-Off

Advisory

01

Compliance Readiness Assessment

Gap analysis against ISO 27001, SOC 2, MAS TRM. Output: prioritized roadmap, control catalog, realistic timeline to audit-ready.

02

Virtual CISO (vCISO)

Fractional security leadership — strategy, board reporting, vendor reviews, policy oversight. Named senior consultant.

03

Risk Assessment & TPRM

Enterprise risk register, vendor due diligence, supply-chain evaluation. Built on ISO 27005 or NIST RMF.

Implementation

04

Policy & Control Framework Design

Policies, SOPs, evidence-collection workflows auditors actually accept. Not template downloads — written for your context.

05

Cloud Security Architecture

IAM, KMS, network segmentation, zero-trust principles implemented in your cloud accounts.

06

Security Testing

Penetration testing, secure code review, red team exercises. Reports your engineers can act on.

Incident Readiness

07

IR Plan & Tabletop Exercises

Incident response playbooks specific to your architecture, plus simulated breach drills with leadership and engineering.

08

Breach Response Support

When something happens, we're on-call: containment, forensics, regulator communication, post-incident review.

Auditor-Grade Rigor, Engineer-Grade Execution

We Don't Just Hand You a Checklist

Most compliance shops deliver a PDF and walk away. We sit with your engineers and implement the controls in your cloud — IAM, logging pipelines, vault configs — so they exist before the audit, not just on paper.

Cloud-Native by Default

Controls live in AWS, Azure, GCP, or Alibaba Cloud — not abstract policies that hope someone will enforce them. Our security and cloud teams work on the same engagements.

Right-Sized for SMEs

Big-4 control catalogs designed for banks will bury a 50-person SaaS. We adapt frameworks to your size, risk profile, and budget — without compromising on what matters for the audit.

One Team for Assess + Fix

The same team that finds the gap closes it — faster, cheaper, and with less coordination overhead than the hire-an-assessor-then-shop-a-fixer pattern.

Our team holds:

CISSP · CISA · CISM · ISO 27001 Lead Auditor · ISO 27001 Lead Implementer ·
OSCP · CEH · CRISC · AWS Security Specialty · CCSP · CompTIA Security+ ·
Singapore PDPA DPO

Members of (ISC)², ISACA, and the Association of Information Security Professionals (AiSP) Singapore.

Security Doesn't Stop at Documentation

Common Questions

No, and you shouldn't trust anyone who says they can. Certifications are issued by accredited third-party auditors. We prepare you for those audits — typically a 3–6 month engagement — and coordinate with auditing firms we've worked with before.

Probably not for daily operations, but possibly for specific gaps — board reporting, strategy reviews, third-party risk programs, or augmenting during peak periods. We often work alongside internal teams rather than replacing them.

Only what's strictly necessary, only after we sign a Data Processing Agreement, and only via least-privilege access. For most engagements (policy work, gap assessments), we don't touch production data at all.

Both. We deliver a layered report: executive summary for the board, technical detail for engineering, and a remediation backlog the team can actually work through.

No. Compliance proves you have controls. Security ensures they work. We do both — and we'll tell you when you're focused on the wrong one.

Compliance Sprints typically range from SGD 30K–80K depending on scope and target framework. vCISO retainers start at SGD 8K/month. Project engagements are quoted individually after scoping.
