National-scale data holdings
Citizen databases where a single compromise affects millions and cannot be remediated by rotating a credential.

Built for this sector
Public sector digital services now touch nearly every citizen — identity, welfare, tax, health, land records, transport. The data holdings are unmatched in scale and sensitivity, and the consequences of failure extend well beyond regulatory penalty into public trust and, in places, personal safety.
The environment is distinctive: procurement is constrained, legacy systems are long-lived, integration surfaces are wide, and the workforce mixes permanent staff with a large contractor population. Security must be designed within those realities rather than around them.
We support departments, PSUs and their implementation partners with programmes aligned to CERT-In directions, MeitY guidance, the National Cyber Security Policy and DPDPA — with particular attention to the assurance obligations that flow to system integrators building citizen-facing platforms.
Priorities we work on
These are not hypothetical risks. They are the specific conditions we have had to design around on engagements in this sector.
Citizen databases where a single compromise affects millions and cannot be remediated by rotating a credential.
Platforms in service for fifteen or more years, with limited vendor support and undocumented integration surfaces.
Critical systems built and operated by external system integrators with deep privileged access and variable security maturity.
Tender-driven acquisition that makes iterative security investment and modern tooling procurement difficult.
Incidents that become matters of parliamentary and media scrutiny within hours, requiring communication readiness alongside technical response.
Defensible security, built around how your business actually loses money.
Threat-led security strategy, architecture and control design that prioritises the handful of scenarios that would genuinely hurt you — not a generic checklist of 300 controls.
Explore capabilityCertification without the eighteen-month scramble.
Readiness, implementation and audit support for ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 42001, SOC 2 and PCI DSS — run as a project with dates, owners and a definition of done.
Explore capabilityKnow what your vendors can reach — and what happens when one fails.
Vendor risk programmes that tier by real exposure, assess proportionately, contract properly and monitor continuously — instead of emailing a 300-question spreadsheet once a year.
Explore capabilityOne operating model for privacy, security, risk and AI accountability.
We design the committees, policies, decision rights and reporting lines that let trust obligations be managed as one programme instead of four competing ones.
Explore capabilityPatient trust is clinical infrastructure.
Hospital networks, digital health platforms and life sciences organisations carry the most sensitive data category there is, under simultaneous Indian, US and European obligations.
Regulatory density meets real-time expectations.
Banks, NBFCs, insurers, fintechs and capital markets firms operate under the most prescriptive supervisory regime in India, with regulators that audit rather than advise.
Trust is the shortest path through enterprise procurement.
For product companies, security and privacy posture is not overhead — it is the thing that determines whether an enterprise deal closes this quarter or next year.
When the line stops, everything else is academic.
Manufacturers face converging IT and OT risk, extended supplier networks, and customer security requirements arriving through the supply chain rather than from a regulator.
