SOC 2 helps Indonesian startups win global clients. It proves your service is secure, builds trust, speeds sales, and aligns with UU PDP. With FEHA’s automation + experts, you can get there faster.

Many ads claim “SOC 2 in 2 weeks,” but that usually means SOC 2 Type I, not the more valuable Type II. In reality, SOC 2 takes time, typically 6–9 months to plan, implement, and prove your controls. Security isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon.

Singapore’s SG Cyber Safe Programme has two certifications, Cyber Essentials and Cyber Trust, and FEHA makes it easier and faster for you to get them.

Rushing ISO 27001 in 2 weeks might win a certificate, but not real security. It takes time—about 4–6 months for small teams to build a solid, trustworthy foundation.

ISO 27001 gives businesses a strong foundation for privacy compliance across laws like GDPR, PDPA, and PDPL.

FEHA helps you build strong, audit-ready programs early, combining expert guidance with smart automation so you can grow with trust and confidence.

SOC 2 is your client’s responsibility, not yours as the MSP. If you're already ISO 27001 certified, you likely cover much of what SOC 2 needs. Your role is to support their defined controls, not to lead the certification. Let them set the scope, and you align with it. FEHA can help you navigate this the smart way.

ISO 27001 is a global standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) and it provides a framework to help businesses manage and protect sensitive data through risk management, security controls, and ongoing improvements.

FEHA's cross-compliance strategy simplifies this by identifying common requirements across various standards (like PDPA Singapore and ISO 27001).

By updating devices, using antivirus software, adopting password managers like Heylogin, and training employees regularly, they can protect their data affordably. FEHA will also be at Tech in Asia 2024 to share more solutions—follow us for updates!

Penetration testing is not mandatory for ISO 27001:2022 certification, but it’s recommended based on your risk assessment, business type, and ISMS scope. If it’s too costly, use alternatives like secure coding, vulnerability scanning, audits, and staff training, just ensure your policies match your actual practices. FEHA can help you build a realistic and effective security strategy tailored to your needs.

To gain management support for ISO 27001, educate them on its value, show business benefits, involve them early, build a strong case, and use expert help. FEHA can guide your company in making security a business strength, not just an audit task.

ISO 27001 helps startups build investor and customer trust, improve operations, meet regulations, and stand out from competitors. FEHA makes the certification journey easier with expert support and tools.

Frequent password changes aren’t required by ISO 27001 or modern standards like NIST and PCI-DSS 4.0.1. Instead, focus on strong, unique passwords, password managers like Heylogin, and MFA. FEHA helps organizations modernize password policies using a risk-based approach that enhances security without outdated practices.

ISO 27001 helps startups protect data, build trust, meet regulations, and improve operations. It’s not just about getting certified, it’s about maintaining strong, secure practices. FEHA makes the process easier with expert support and compliance as a service.

Tech experts leading ISO 27001 efforts must shift from technical roles to company-wide leadership. Success requires communication, GRC knowledge, and project management. With the right plan and possible expert support like FEHA, they can guide their company through certification and grow into security leaders.

ISO 27001 software helps, but it’s not a magic fix. Startups often struggle without expert guidance. Templates still need customization, and software alone can't guarantee success. Expert support ensures smoother, faster certification. Book a free 25-minute strategy session to get started.

To meet NIS2 and DORA requirements, businesses must go beyond ISO or SOC 2 and actively manage third-party security. Start by categorizing vendors by risk, defining clear security requirements, conducting regular reviews, and maintaining a centralized third-party list. These simple steps can greatly improve your security posture.

Early-stage startups don’t need to rush into ISO 27001 or SOC 2. Focus first on product-market fit, show solid security practices, and time your certification when your team and budget are ready. You can still build trust and grow while preparing at your own pace.

ISO 27001:2022 requires ongoing, tailored security training, not just annual sessions. Using diverse formats and regular reminders helps build strong, company-wide awareness, even on a small budget.

Indonesia’s national data center (PDN) was hit by a ransomware attack, disrupting services for 210+ institutions. The incident exposed weak backups and poor cybersecurity practices, stressing the urgent need for better training, audits, tech, and collaboration.

Live cybersecurity training works better than recorded videos because it’s interactive, personalized, and helps people truly understand how to stay secure. FEHA's sessions in 2023 proved that talking and listening in real time builds stronger awareness and better habits.

Many people believe or aspire to pass ISO 27001 or SOC 2 audits in weeks. But that's not the right and sustainable path to go with if you are serious about security at your company.

GRC software can speed up compliance, but it’s not enough on its own. You still need IT GRC experts to help choose the right tool, guide its implementation, adjust your policies, and prepare for audits. Just like a healthy lifestyle needs more than superfoods, real compliance success needs both the software and the right expertise.

Reviewing many vendors can be overwhelming, but by focusing on key risk areas, like patch management, network security, and incident response, you can work smarter and faster. Use tools like Security Scorecard or Black Kite to help, but always prioritize what truly matters to your business.

Integrating third-party services demands thorough due diligence, a complex process involving multiple departments like Legal and Security. To make this efficient, organizations should adopt standardized checklists, consolidate vendor requests, leverage automation for repetitive tasks, and foster cross-functional collaboration to streamline the entire assessment process.

Met with talented Indonesian techpreneurs eager to go global. Shared insights on security, privacy, and international standards. FEHA is here to support their journey.

Recently, I had the privilege of attending a brief yet insightful meeting with a group of talented techpreneurs from Indonesia. It was a fascinating experience to witness firsthand the remarkable skills and innovative solutions that this vibrant community has to offer.

FEHA delivered fun, effective cybersecurity training to Indonesian Embassy staff in the Netherlands on March 17, 2023. The session focused on strong passwords, system updates, and phishing prevention, boosting digital trust and cyber awareness among participants.

Security questionnaires help assess third-party risks, but shouldn’t be the only method. A mix of tools, such as audits, certifications, and external reviews, offers a clearer and more balanced view of vendor security.

Cybersecurity rating tools aren't perfect, but they’re still useful for third-party risk management, offering fresher insights than most audits or reports.

Despite the LastPass incident, FEHA still recommends using password managers. If you’re switching providers, use a strong master password, delete your old account, and update your critical service passwords.
