Senior-led delivery
Every Novena engagement is led by a senior consultant — no junior pipelines, no resold capacity. Singaporean clients deal directly with the operators doing the work.
Novena, Singapore
Managed Detection & Response in Novena.
Managed Detection & Response for Singaporean organisations operating in and around Novena. Managed detection and response with our engineers operating inside your stack — your SIEM, your EDR, your cloud — with engineering-grade detections, escalation that respects your on-call, and exit-friendly knowledge transfer.
Median time to detection under 11 minutes on managed engagements — across Basalt operations in the past 12 months.
THREAT VECTOR
Threats facing Novena healthcare.
The healthcare, medical concentration around Novena sees ransomware targeting EHR systems, medical device firmware and PHI exfiltration via third parties. Our managed detection & response work in Central Region is scoped against this real threat profile, not a generic checklist.
Common pains
- MDR vendors that black-box your detections and lock you in
- Tier-1 SOC alerts that need your team to triage anyway
- No transparency on what is being detected vs what is being missed
ENGAGEMENT
How we engage.
- Detection backlog built and maintained inside your tooling
- Senior responders on-call with 15-minute SLA on critical alerts
- Monthly detection coverage report against MITRE ATT&CK
- Full knowledge transfer documentation — no vendor lock-in
Reporting
Every finding ships with a control reference against MAS TRM and Cybersecurity Act 2018, with CSA / MAS guidance cited where it changes the remediation priority. Board reporting follows the MAS Notice 655 expectation set.
LOCAL CONTEXT
Local context.
Basalt delivers managed detection & response to organisations across Novena and the wider Central Region region (population ~50k). The healthcare, medical sectors that anchor the region face a distinct threat profile — ransomware targeting EHR systems, medical device firmware and PHI exfiltration via third parties — and our engagements are scoped to that, not a generic playbook. Reporting maps cleanly to the MAS TRM and Cybersecurity Act 2018 that Singaporean boards already use, with regulator context (CSA / MAS) called out where it changes a remediation priority.
RATIONALE
Why Basalt for managed detection & response in Novena.
Mapped to Singapore context
Findings and roadmaps reference the regulatory environment your business actually operates in — MAS TRM and Cybersecurity Act 2018. Board-level reporting follows the MAS Notice 655 expectation set, so what we deliver lands without translation.
On the frontier
We actively research and test agentic AI tool-abuse and indirect prompt injection at scale, MCP server and AI-tool supply chain compromise and post-quantum cryptographic readiness (NIST PQC migration) — attack paths most regional providers still haven't mapped. Forward-thinking cyber defence, not last year's playbook.
2026 THREAT LANDSCAPE
What we test for.
- Agentic AI tool-abuse and indirect prompt injection at scale
- MCP server and AI-tool supply chain compromise
- Post-quantum cryptographic readiness (NIST PQC migration)
- Identity-first attack chains across federated SaaS
- Open-source software supply chain (post-xz, post-tj-actions)
Cyber security in Singapore can't be done with last year's threat models. The Basalt practice runs against current attacker tradecraft — agentic AI abuse, MCP and AI-tool supply chain, post-quantum readiness — alongside the legacy infrastructure work that still keeps most organisations awake at night.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How fast can Basalt start a managed detection & response engagement in Novena?
Most Novena engagements scope inside one week and start within two. Retainer clients can trigger work the same day. We do not pipeline Singaporean clients through junior teams — a senior consultant scopes and runs the work end-to-end.
Do you do managed detection & response on-site in Novena or remote?
Both. Sensitive work — classified-adjacent environments, live incident response, OT walkthroughs — gets on-site time in Novena and the wider Central Region region. Routine assessments and detection engineering run remote with a tight feedback loop.
How does Basalt map findings to Singaporean regulators?
Every finding ships with a control reference against the MAS TRM and Cybersecurity Act 2018 so your compliance team is not re-mapping our report. Where CSA / MAS guidance exists for the specific finding, we cite it inline. Board-level reporting follows the MAS Notice 655 expectation set.
What makes managed detection & response in Novena different from a generic engagement?
The healthcare sector concentration in Novena drives a different threat model than a generic Singaporean engagement — ransomware targeting EHR systems, medical device firmware and PHI exfiltration via third parties. Our scoping reflects that, and so does the test library we bring to the work.
Is Basalt set up for AI-era threats, not just legacy infrastructure?
Yes — this is core to how we work. Basalt actively researches and tests against agentic AI tool-abuse and indirect prompt injection at scale, MCP server and AI-tool supply chain compromise and identity-first attack chains across federated SaaS. Most regional providers haven't mapped these attack paths; we run them in production against client systems with explicit scope.
