Why now

Compliance pressure is rising faster than security teams can scale

Regulators, customers and auditors expect proof of control. Most teams are still running GRC on spreadsheets.

01

Regulations are tightening

DPDP Act, MAS TRM, PDPA, GDPR and sector rules raise the bar on privacy and third-party risk every year.

02

Manual GRC doesn't scale

Spreadsheets and email trails make audits slow, evidence hard to find and risk invisible to leadership.

03

Security talent is scarce

Building an in-house GRC team is slow and costly. A specialist partner gets you audit-ready faster.

I have known Manu since 2008 and Madhup soon after. If they were part of the project team, I wouldn't have to worry about anything. It would be good quality work and on time. If I needed external help, I would blindly go to them.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    Do you work with SMEs and startups, or only large enterprises?

    Both. Our delivery framework scales from a focused gap assessment for a growing company to multi-year GRC programmes for banks and multinationals.

    Can you implement Archer IRM or OneTrust end to end?

    Yes. Our team has led Archer IRM, OneTrust and BWise implementations globally, covering design, configuration, integration, data migration and post-go-live support.

    Do you offer a one-time audit or ongoing support?

    Either. We run one-time audits and readiness assessments, and also offer ongoing managed GRC and vCISO engagements.

    Which regions do you cover?

    We are headquartered in Singapore with teams in India and Dubai, and deliver for clients across APAC, the Middle East and globally.

    How long does a typical engagement take?

    A gap assessment usually takes 3–6 weeks. Platform implementations and certification readiness typically run 2–6 months depending on scope.
