Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is now home to S-RM, a top worldwide consultancy that focuses on cybersecurity and corporate intelligence. This relocation is part of a larger strategy to strengthen S-RM’s position across Asia. Along with its current offices in Singapore and Hong Kong, S-RM is bolstering its dedication to serving its growing customer base throughout the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region with this substantial expansion, adding a third key site to its regional network.
Expanding Regional Footprint Amidst Growing Challenges
The APAC region continues to navigate through a maze of geopolitical uncertainties, escalating regulatory demands, and an increasingly complex regulatory environment. These challenges are compounded by the persistent threat of cyber-attacks and a noticeable uptick in commercial disputes, underscoring the critical need for timely and dependable intelligence services. S-RM’s latest expansion into Kuala Lumpur is a direct response to these evolving business needs, offering a beacon of support for companies striving to manage these risks effectively.
Leadership and Vision
Under the stewardship of Morgan Stark, S-RM’s Head of Asia based in Hong Kong, the company is poised to deliver unparalleled service across all its lines. Stark, alongside a seasoned leadership team comprising Anna Beare, Naresh Sakhrani, Kath Lau, and Cyrus Chiu, will spearhead operations across the Hong Kong, Singapore, and now, the Kuala Lumpur offices.
Heyrick Bond Gunning, S-RM’s CEO, expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion: “We continue to experience growth in Asia and will continue to invest in our corporate intelligence and cyber security capabilities in the region. Malaysia is a vibrant centre of business and economic growth with a talented and multilingual workforce; it complements our twin foothold in Hong Kong and Singapore. I’m immensely proud of our APAC team and equally thankful to our clients, who continue to entrust us with helping them manage their risks.”
Adding to the sentiment, Morgan Stark highlighted the strategic importance of the Malaysian office:“The opening of the new office in Malaysia recognises growth opportunities for our business in Southeast Asia. It is also critical to ensuring we are appropriately positioned to deliver against our vision for Asia, which includes, amongst other ambitions, to firstly provide a vertically integrated intelligence and investigations offering to our clients; and secondly meet increasing client demand for cyber security services and grow our business in a sustainable way without losing the essence of what made us good in the first place, namely the timely delivery of high quality intelligence on which our clients can rely. Above all, this remains our commitment to S-RM’s clients.”

A Strategic Location for Growth
Strategically located in the CEO Suite in Q Sentral, KL Sentral, the new office sits at the nexus of Kuala Lumpur’s residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. This prime location is not only symbolic of S-RM’s growth ambitions in Southeast Asia but also reinforces the company’s dedication to providing top-tier intelligence and cybersecurity services to its clients in the region.
As S-RM continues to expand its footprint and enhance its service offerings, the opening of its Kuala Lumpur office is a testament to the firm’s unwavering commitment to excellence and its proactive approach to meeting the complex needs of its clients in the dynamic APAC market.
