Previously stalled on security review
The challenge
The client was opening in four markets in nine months while simultaneously trying to close enterprise deals that were blocked on a security questionnaire they could not answer. Corporate IT had been deliberately deprioritised in favour of product engineering, leaving device management on a spreadsheet and no formal control framework at all.
The approach
Placed a resident engineer in each new market within two weeks of the decision, covering the gap until local hiring completed.
Rebuilt device management on Intune and Jamf with zero-touch enrolment, shipping configured devices directly to new hires.
Ran ISO 27001 implementation as a project with a fixed certification date, collecting evidence continuously rather than retrospectively.
Implemented starter-mover-leaver automation driven by the HR system so access provisioning stopped being a manual ticket.
Transitioned each market to locally hired staff on an agreed handover schedule with runbooks and shadowing.
We needed a Singapore presence before we had a Singapore entity. They had an engineer on site within a week and covered us for eight months until we hired locally.
