Why businesses in Sri Lanka ask for this
Sri Lankan businesses, including IT and business-process firms serving overseas clients, are regularly asked how they protect client systems and data. Personal data is regulated under the Personal Data Protection Act, No. 9 of 2022, and clients abroad often bring their own security expectations.
The work is technical and advisory. It does not stand in for legal advice, certification or an audit, and legal questions belong with a qualified adviser.
Who we work with
Sri Lankan technology and service companies, professional firms and growing businesses that want independent senior advice on infrastructure and security without adding a full-time role.
How remote delivery works for Sri Lanka
There is no office in Sri Lanka; all work is remote. Sri Lanka uses the same time as India, so consultation hours of 14:00–22:00 IST on weekdays are 14:00–22:00 local time, covering the afternoon and evening. Sri Lankan public holidays differ, so dates are confirmed by email when booking.

Questions from businesses in Sri Lanka
Do you have a base in Sri Lanka?
No. Consulting is delivered remotely from India, and there is no Sri Lankan office, staff or customer reference list.
Do you advise on the Personal Data Protection Act?
No. That is a legal question. Reviews look at the technical controls around personal data, which a legal adviser can then assess.
Can you help us answer overseas clients' security questionnaires?
A short assessment shows which controls are really in place, so your answers are accurate. We do not fill in questionnaires for you or guarantee a client's decision.
Are calls in Sri Lankan working hours?
Sri Lanka shares India's time, so weekday calls at 14:00–22:00 IST are 14:00–22:00 local time. Holidays are confirmed when booking.
Can you provide remote support for a Sri Lankan company?
Yes, for Microsoft 365, servers, networks and backups, arranged through an enquiry. It is not a 24/7 helpdesk, and work is scoped in writing first.
