Cybersecurity services that reduce human risk
Firewalls do not click links, approve fraudulent invoices or reuse passwords. People do. Orbix helps Malaysian organisations measure, reduce and govern the human side of cyber risk, with reporting built for boards, auditors and regulators rather than for security engineers.
Governance, compliance, privacy and cybersecurity in one practice
Orbix works with Malaysian organisations on the parts of cybersecurity that technology cannot solve on its own. Our starting position is that most incidents begin with a person doing something reasonable in the circumstances, and that reducing that risk requires measurement, governance and practical process change rather than another tool.
That approach comes out of our wider practice. We provide outsourced data protection officer and compliance officer services, PDPA advisory, integrity and anti-bribery framework development, and HRD Corp claimable corporate training. Cybersecurity services sit inside that governance context, which is why our reporting is built to feed a risk register, an audit evidence pack and a board paper rather than a security operations console.
The 2024 amendments to the Personal Data Protection Act sharpened the stakes. Personal data breaches must now be notified to the Commissioner, affected individuals must be told where significant harm is likely, and organisations meeting the prescribed thresholds must appoint a data protection officer. Each of those obligations depends on people recognising an incident, escalating it and acting inside a defined window. That is human risk, and it is what we measure.
Every engagement is delivered by consultants who have held these responsibilities inside Malaysian organisations. Scenarios use local references your staff will recognise, recommendations are sized to the resources you actually have, and where training is the right answer it can be structured as an HRD Corp claimable programme through our registered training arm.
Seven services, one focused practice
Each service stands alone. Most clients begin with a phishing simulation or a human risk assessment, then build outward as the picture becomes clearer.
Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
Where your risk actually sits across technology, process, people and third parties, scored for maturity with a costed twelve-month roadmap.
Read more →Phishing Simulation
Controlled campaigns measuring click rate, credential submission and reporting behaviour, including CEO fraud and fake invoice scenarios aimed at finance.
Read more →Microsoft 365 Security Assessment & Hardening
Entra ID, MFA and conditional access, Defender, Exchange and SharePoint sharing, reviewed against Microsoft's baseline and hardened without breaking your users.
Read more →Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing
Certified testers find and validate what an attacker could exploit. Findings ranked by business impact, with a retest once you have fixed them.
Read more →Incident Response Planning & Tabletop Exercise
Response plans and ransomware playbooks built for your business, then tested on your team and your board with timed injects.
Read more →PDPA Compliance & Cybersecurity Assessment
Your PDPA obligations mapped to the controls that actually satisfy them, with the breach notification process and evidence pack built.
Read more →Virtual CISO (vCISO)
A named senior security leader on retainer who owns the roadmap, reports to your board and handles the client security questionnaires.
Read more →How an engagement usually unfolds
Assess, educate, test, secure, prepare, govern, then keep someone accountable. Most organisations arrive with one specific question and join the sequence wherever that question sits.
Assess
A cybersecurity risk assessment is the cheapest way to start and the one that most often changes what a client does next. It usually shows the top three risks cost very little to fix.
Educate
Cybersecurity awareness training as a managed twelve-month programme, delivered through our training practice, because the control that decays fastest is the one you refresh once a year.
Test
Phishing simulation measures whether the training landed, and gives you a number that moves quarter on quarter instead of an attendance sheet.
Secure
A Microsoft 365 security assessment is the highest return per ringgit for most SMEs, and penetration testing validates what an attacker could actually exploit beyond it.
Prepare
Incident response planning builds the plan and the playbooks, then tests them on your team and your board with timed injects before a real incident does.
Govern
A PDPA compliance and cybersecurity assessment maps your obligations to controls that genuinely exist, and produces the evidence pack regulators, clients and insurers all ask for.
Ongoing advisory
A virtual CISO owns the roadmap so the improvement continues after the reports are filed, and gives your board a named person accountable for security direction.
What working with Orbix changes
Our clients are usually not short of security opinions. What they are short of is a defensible number, a prioritised plan and evidence they can show someone.
Human risk becomes measurable and reportable
A documented score with a method behind it can sit on the risk register alongside every other risk category, with an owner, a target and a trend.
Spending goes where the exposure actually is
Department-level data consistently shows risk is concentrated rather than evenly spread. Knowing where lets you spend intensively instead of thinly.
You build an evidence trail before you need it
Campaign reports, assessments, exercise records and remediation logs are exactly what a Commissioner enquiry, an ISO 27001 audit, a client vendor assessment or an insurance renewal asks to see.
Recommendations are sized to your organisation
We will not recommend a security operations centre to a company with two people in IT. Every action names an owner and an honest effort estimate.
Training becomes affordable through HRD Corp
Where structured training is the right response, it can be delivered as an HRD Corp claimable programme for levy-contributing employers, subject to grant approval before delivery.
One partner across governance, privacy and security
The same practice handles your PDPA and DPO obligations, your integrity and governance framework and your cyber human risk, so the advice is consistent rather than contradictory.
Why organisations choose Orbix
We are a governance, compliance, privacy and cybersecurity practice serving Malaysian organisations, not a reseller with a platform to place.
A governance approach, not a tool sale
Everything we produce is built to survive scrutiny: a documented method, dated evidence, graded findings and named owners. That is what a regulator, an auditor or an audit committee needs, and it is a different output from what a security tool dashboard provides.
Recommendations you can actually implement
Findings arrive as actions somebody can take next quarter, sized to your resources. Where the right answer is a process change rather than a product or a training session, we say so, even when that is not the commercially convenient answer.
Consultants who have sat on your side of the table
Our consultants have run compliance, data protection and security functions inside Malaysian organisations, not only advised on them from outside. That shows up in the advice: we know what a lean IT team can absorb in a quarter, and we know which recommendations get quietly shelved.
Built for the Malaysian operating context
Scenarios use Malaysian references your staff will recognise, from DuitNow payment requests and e-invoice notices to LHDN and EPF correspondence. Reporting is framed against the obligations your regulators and auditors actually cite, including the 72-hour personal data breach notification duty introduced by the 2024 amendments to the PDPA.
HRD Corp expertise where it applies
We are an HRD Corp registered training provider, so awareness and technical training that follows an engagement can be structured as a claimable programme under SBL-Khas for levy-contributing employers. See our HRD Corp claimable cybersecurity training and the wider corporate training catalogue.
Frequently asked questions about our cybersecurity services
Start with the question you actually came here with
Whether it is an audit finding, a client security questionnaire, a near miss or a board asking how exposed the company is, tell us the situation and we will recommend the shortest route to an answer. If you do not need us yet, we will say so.
