Your operations, protected.
Advanced threat detection, zero-trust architecture, and managed compliance — for enterprises where a breach is not acceptable.
The challenge
Attackers are faster than most security teams
Alert overload
Thousands of daily alerts bury the few that matter. We tune detection and automate triage.
Skills shortage
Hiring a 24/7 security team is slow and costly. Managed services close the gap quickly.
Compliance pressure
NIS2, DORA and customer audits demand evidence, not promises.
VFACE embeds security into your full technology stack — not just the perimeter. From IBM QRadar SIEM and Guardium data protection through zero-trust architecture and OT security, we secure the application, data, and infrastructure layers that most security integrators leave unmonitored.
What we offer
Cybersecurity services
Advanced Threat Detection
AI-powered threat hunting, behavioural analytics, and correlated detection across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments.
IBM QRadar SIEM
Deployment, tuning, and managed operations of IBM QRadar — correlating logs across your full estate with AI-powered threat detection.
IBM Guardium Data Security
Database activity monitoring, sensitive data discovery, and automated compliance reporting for Oracle, Db2, MySQL, and cloud-managed databases.
Zero-Trust Architecture
Network segmentation, micro-perimeters, identity-based access controls, and continuous verification frameworks that eliminate implicit trust.
Penetration Testing
CREST-aligned penetration testing across web applications, APIs, internal networks, and cloud infrastructure with remediation verification.
Cloud Security Posture Management
Continuous misconfiguration detection, compliance drift alerting, and remediation automation across AWS, Azure, and IBM Cloud.
Identity & Access Management
Privileged access management, MFA enforcement, SSO federation, and identity governance programmes across enterprise and cloud directories.
Compliance & GRC
ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, PDPA, MAS TRM, and FCA SYSC compliance programmes with continuous controls monitoring and audit-ready documentation.
OT/ICS Security
Industrial control system security assessments, OT network segmentation, and IEC 62443-aligned protection for manufacturing and critical infrastructure.
Incident Response
Retainer-based and on-demand incident response with forensic investigation, containment, eradication, and board-level reporting.
Security Engineering
Secure SDLC integration, DevSecOps pipeline gates, SAST/DAST tooling, and application security architecture reviews.
Third-Party Risk Management
Vendor security assessments, supply chain risk scoring, and continuous monitoring programmes covering your critical supplier ecosystem.
How we build
Engineering principles behind every engagement
Assume breach
Controls are designed to limit blast radius and speed detection, not just keep attackers out.

How we deliver
From first workshop to production in four steps
Assess posture
Map assets, threats and gaps against your chosen framework such as ISO 27001 or NIST.
Harden the core
Close the highest-risk gaps first: identity, endpoints, network segmentation and data protection.
Monitor and detect
Centralise logs in a SIEM with tuned detections and a clear escalation path.
Respond and improve
Rehearse incidents, run post-incident reviews and feed lessons back into controls.

Proven results
Client case studies
A digital-first bank in Singapore was averaging 14 hours MTTD on security incidents, with 2,400 daily alerts of which 94% were false positives overwhelming a 6-person security team.
- MTTD reduced from 14 hours to 85 minutes via IBM QRadar with custom correlation rules
- Daily actionable alerts reduced from 2,400 to 210 through AI-tuned baselines
- ISO 27001 achieved in 9 months, enabling closure of three enterprise RFPs
A multinational law firm handling M&A transaction data across 12 jurisdictions needed ISO 27001 certification as a condition for a major financial services client retainer worth £4.2M annually.
- ISMS designed and implemented across 4 offices in 3 jurisdictions simultaneously
- IBM Guardium deployed for sensitive client data monitoring across 6 database systems
- £4.2M client retainer secured following Stage 2 audit — 5 months ahead of deadline
A UK industrial manufacturer discovered its OT network had no segmentation from corporate IT, leaving 340 PLCs controlling production lines directly accessible from the corporate LAN.
- IEC 62443-aligned OT segmentation deployed across 3 facilities in 8 weeks without production downtime
- Unidirectional security gateways isolated PLCs while preserving historian and SCADA data flows
- OT security monitoring integrated with IBM QRadar providing unified IT and OT visibility

Figures are indicative ranges from typical engagements compared with published industry surveys. Results vary by scope and starting point.
The difference
What changes when the work is done
Before VFACE
- Alerts nobody has time to triage
- Audit evidence assembled by hand each year
- Incident response that lives in one person's head
After VFACE
- Tuned detections with a defined escalation path
- Continuous compliance evidence
- Rehearsed playbooks and measured response times
