Introduction
Brunei’s national digital vision is steadily shaping the development of smarter, more connected urban environments. As public services, utilities, transportation, and governance platforms adopt digital technologies, regulatory compliance and cybersecurity assurance have become essential to protect national infrastructure and public trust.
Smart city ecosystems integrate IT systems, operational technology (OT), IoT devices, and cloud platforms, creating complex environments with expanded cyber risk. To address these challenges, Smart City Regulatory Compliance & Cybersecurity Assessment Services provide structured assurance across digital urban infrastructure. Cyberintelsys, leveraging CREST-aligned assessment methodologies, supports Brunei’s smart city initiatives by delivering independent, risk-based compliance and cybersecurity assessments.
