Cybersecurity
What We Do
Our Cybersecurity practice advises corporates, financial institutions, technology‑driven businesses, and regulated entities on legal and regulatory issues relating to information security, data governance, and technology risk management. We work with clients operating within Malaysia’s regulatory environment, including sector‑specific and cross‑border compliance obligations affecting the management and protection of digital assets and information systems.
The practice is principally focused on the development, review, and ongoing maintenance of internal documentation and governance frameworks addressing cybersecurity and data protection. This includes aligning organisational policies, procedures, and contractual arrangements with applicable laws, regulatory guidelines, and evolving risk considerations. Our advice is grounded in a practical understanding of how cybersecurity obligations intersect with business operations, corporate activity, and regulatory engagement in Malaysia.
How We Can Assist You
We advise clients across the lifecycle of cybersecurity and data governance matters, from initial assessments of existing documentation and controls through the design, implementation, and periodic review of internal policies and procedures. Our work includes evaluating compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, advising on governance and accountability structures, and supporting clients in keeping policies current in light of regulatory developments and operational change.
We also advise on cybersecurity considerations arising in corporate transactions and commercial arrangements, including due diligence exercises, contractual risk allocation, and regulatory notifications where required. Where matters involve cross‑border elements or technical complexity, we work alongside internal stakeholders, technical advisers, regulators, and foreign counsel to support coordinated, compliant, and commercially sound outcomes.
