Hakobi

IT and network services for Finance in Sabah

Last reviewed: 31 August 2026

Regulatory and compliance context

Financial institutions carry PDPA obligations plus sector-specific regulatory expectations around data security, uptime and audit trails. Network segmentation, documented change management and a defensible security posture aren't optional here — they're what a regulator or auditor will ask to see first.

Financial institutions run on infrastructure that has to satisfy both operational reliability and a regulator’s expectations — network segmentation, documented change management, and a security posture that holds up under audit.

What financial institutions need from IT

Structured cabling and network infrastructure built to a documented standard, cybersecurity controls that satisfy both operational needs and audit expectations, and independent assessment support when a regulator or internal audit asks for it.

Common problems we’re called in to fix

Network infrastructure installed without documentation an auditor can review, security controls that were adequate at a smaller scale but haven’t been reassessed, and no independent audit trail for infrastructure changes.

How we work with finance clients

Engagements typically combine structured cabling and network infrastructure work with cybersecurity controls from day one, documented to a standard that holds up under later audit or regulatory review.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have experience with financial institutions specifically?

Yes — see the investment bank case study for a structured cabling and network infrastructure project in Labuan.

Why does Labuan come up specifically for financial services?

Labuan is Malaysia's offshore financial hub, with a concentration of banks and investment firms that Hakobi has delivered infrastructure work for.

Can you support an independent security audit or assessment?

Yes — the IT Consultancy & Audit service is built for exactly this, including documentation a regulator or auditor would expect to see.

What's different about network design for a financial institution?

Segmentation, access control and change documentation are held to a higher bar than a typical SME deployment — every change needs to be explainable after the fact.
