What Technology, Business and Security Leaders Ask Us

Who typically engages DTN Advisory?

Technology, business and security leaders. CISOs and executives who are new in seat and want experienced backup, boards that want an independent read and leadership teams that need someone to join the dots between technology risk and business decisions. We work with your teams, not around them.

What is CISO as a Service (CISOaaS)?

CISO as a Service, also called a virtual CISO (vCISO) or fractional CISO, gives your organisation executive level security leadership without a full time hire. You get a practitioner who has held the seat, for the days you actually need, covering strategy, governance, board reporting and programme direction.

What does a fractional CISO actually do?

The same job a full time CISO does, scoped to your size: security strategy and roadmap, budget and capability planning, working out your biggest risks and where the next dollar should go, building the programme and team, certification and audit readiness, penetration testing oversight, incident readiness and the reporting your board can actually use.

Where do clients get the most value?

Roadmap planning and capability assessment against the threats that actually apply to you. Joining the dots between traditional IT, network, operations and cyber so they work as one system. Bridging security with fraud, operations and risk teams. And giving executives an independent assessment before a big decision: a build, a buy, a budget or a restructure.

Do you replace our internal team or auditors?

Absolutely not. We are strategic enablers. We work alongside your team, your auditors and your existing providers, and because we have seen more in the field we help each of them do their job better. Our role is the independent assessment that helps you make the right decision, and every engagement is built to transfer knowledge to your team rather than create dependence. We carry no sales quotas and we are never commission driven.

How does the associate model work?

DTN Advisory is a boutique practice with an associate bench. When an engagement needs a specialist we bring in proven experts, and every associate has real operational experience: they have taken the 3am call, not read about it. Boutique means agile. No bench to keep busy, no junior pyramid, just the right people focused on your problem.

Do you support certifications and audits?

Yes. We prepare organisations for certification and audit across frameworks including Singapore's Cyber Essentials and Cyber Trust marks, ISO 27001, SOC 2, MAS TRM expectations and PDPA obligations. Auditors like working with us because we translate technical reality into concepts they can test, and clients often bring us in specifically to make an audit run on common sense rather than checkbox theatre.

What about new regulation like the EU Cyber Resilience Act?

Regulation is moving quickly: the EU Cyber Resilience Act, DORA for financial services and evolving frameworks across ASEAN. We help you work out what actually applies to you, what to do about it pragmatically and in what order, before it becomes an emergency.

Do you work with critical infrastructure?

Yes. Our founder and associates have protected critical national infrastructure and advised on defending some of the most sensitive environments across defence, financial services and government. We understand what is at stake when systems cannot be allowed to fail, and OT and industrial environments are part of the core practice.

Do you provide training?

We do not deliver hands on product training for vendor tools: your vendors do that best, and we work alongside them. Where we add value is strategic: executive and board education, incident preparation and tabletop exercises, threat assessments, incident readiness and post incident reviews that turn a bad day into an institutional lesson.

Which sectors and regions do you cover?

Financial services, fintech, manufacturing and OT environments, technology firms and family offices. Headquartered in Singapore with engagements across ASEAN and Asia Pacific, remote or on site.
