China Cyber & Data Compliance Advisory

We identify your highest China data compliance risks before regulators do — then give you a practical roadmap to close them.

CyberSecure is a boutique advisory built for foreign companies operating in China. We focus on real systems, real data flows, and the operational evidence regulators actually ask for.

The reality on the ground

China compliance is no longer just a legal question.

CAC, MIIT, and PSB inspections are operational. They ask what data is collected, where it goes, who can access it, and whether business teams can show it in practice — not whether a global policy exists.

Foreign companies often rely on global frameworks, outside legal memos, or informal local practices. The gap between those and what regulators actually expect is where exposure builds quietly until something forces it into the open.

How we are different

Most reviews stop at the regulation. We start at your operations.

Most reviews deliver

  • Legal opinions on the regulations
  • Generic cybersecurity frameworks
  • Policies written for headquarters
  • Annual checklist assessments

CyberSecure delivers

  • Real systems, data flows, and HR processes in China
  • Operational evidence regulators actually request
  • Practical guidance translated for China teams
  • A prioritized roadmap your business can execute

Scope covers cross-border data, HR & payroll, China-facing websites and apps, ERP / CRM / HRIS / finance and cloud systems, sensitive personal information, and the operational evidence behind it all.

Engagements

Two ways to engage CyberSecure.

Most clients begin with the Emergency Review to establish a clear baseline, then add ongoing advisory if they need sustained leadership.

When to bring us in

Common triggers.

If any of these apply, an Emergency Review is the fastest way to know where you stand.

  • You do not know what China data leaves the country
  • You have no clear China compliance baseline
  • HR or payroll data is handled in global systems
  • Customer, website, or app data is collected in China
  • Your global legal team needs practical evidence
  • Policies exist, but execution is unclear
  • You are preparing for an audit, regulator inquiry, acquisition, or expansion
  • You need fast clarity before committing to a larger compliance project
