Cyber & network security

Third-party audits, hardening and monitoring for systems that hold citizen data.

We secure the networks and systems that government departments and healthcare providers in Himachal Pradesh can’t afford to have go down or leak: firewalls, encryption, authentication and monitoring built around what you’re actually protecting, not a generic checklist. We work from Shimla, on systems already live in production — not just in a pitch deck.

What an audit gives you

An audit is a fixed piece of work with a document at the end of it, not a subscription you’re signed up to:

  1. Scope. We agree what’s in and what isn’t — which systems, which vendors, which processes — before anyone touches anything.
  2. Collection. Configurations, access controls, vendor practices and documentation reviewed against what’s actually deployed, not what the network diagram says.
  3. Testing. Security controls tested rather than taken on trust, alongside a look at how the processes around them hold up.
  4. Report. Findings ranked by what’s genuinely exposed, each with a recommendation specific enough for someone to act on.

We audit systems in IT and technology, finance and banking, healthcare, education, e-commerce and corporate environments. What’s at risk differs in each — a patient record and an order history are not the same problem — so the checklist doesn’t transfer, and we don’t pretend it does.

The network underneath

Security that stops at the application misses where most incidents start. We design and run the network itself:

  • Failover and load balancing across multiple ISPs, so one provider going down doesn’t stop the office
  • VLAN separation and switch and router configuration, so one compromised device can’t reach everything
  • Endpoint protection on the laptops, desktops and phones that are the usual way in
  • WiFi planned against a floor plan — access point placement, interference management, guest traffic kept off the staff network
  • Structured cabling, labelled and documented, including runs for CCTV, IP phones, printers and IoT devices

We’ve built and maintained these in offices, hotels, retail outlets, schools, clinics and industrial sites. Each one fails differently, which is why the design starts with the building and the traffic rather than a hardware list.

What's included

How we scope this

Firewall & network hardening

A monitored barrier between your internal network and the internet, tuned to your actual traffic, not a default ruleset.

Malware and intrusion detection

Continuous scanning that catches threats before they reach production, not after an incident report.

Data encryption & secure authentication

Multi-factor authentication and encryption in transit and at rest, so a stolen credential isn't a stolen database.

24/7 monitoring and response

A team watching for the alert, not a dashboard nobody checks until Monday.

Third-party security audits

Independent evaluation of systems, vendors and processes against compliance standards, for IT, finance, healthcare, education, e-commerce and corporate clients.

Network design and connectivity

Multi-ISP failover, VLAN separation, structured cabling and WiFi planned against a floor plan — the layer where most incidents actually start, designed rather than accumulated.

How we work

The process, in order

  1. 01

    Audit

    We review the current network, systems and access controls against what's actually at risk, not a generic checklist.

  2. 02

    Harden

    Firewalls, encryption and authentication configured around what the audit found, not a default ruleset applied everywhere.

  3. 03

    Monitor

    24/7 scanning and alerting once the hardened setup is live, so an anomaly gets caught before it's an incident.

  4. 04

    Respond

    A defined incident process with an owner and a next step, not just an entry in a log nobody reads.

Shipped work

What this looks like in production

Public-sector portals we built and continue to run. Hardening and monitoring aren't a separate engagement on these — they're the reason they've stayed up.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a security audit actually check?
Network configuration, firewall rules, access controls, encryption in transit and at rest, and how your systems and vendors handle the data that matters most — evaluated against what’s actually at risk, not a generic compliance checklist.
How fast can monitoring catch an incident?
Monitoring runs 24/7 once the hardened setup is live, so an alert reaches a person watching for it, not a dashboard nobody checks until Monday.
Do you work with systems someone else built?
Yes — an audit and hardening pass doesn’t require us to have built the system. We review what’s there now and fix what’s actually exposed.
Is this a one-time engagement or ongoing?
Both are available. A one-time audit tells you what’s at risk today; 24/7 monitoring and response is an ongoing service, often paired with an annual maintenance contract.

Handling data you can't afford to lose?

We'll audit what you have and tell you what's actually at risk, not sell you a subscription first.
