Secure, audit-ready cloud workplaces for financial firms in Hong Kong, Singapore & China
HKC designs, builds and runs fully cloud-hosted IT infrastructure on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 — no physical servers, no office firewalls, and no company data stored on laptops. Staff work inside a secure Azure Virtual Desktop from anywhere, every login is checked against zero-trust rules, and HKC manages the whole environment with a 24 × 7 helpdesk. Built for regulated and distributed businesses across Hong Kong and Singapore.

Frequently asked questions
Managed cloud infrastructure means your entire IT environment — desktops, email, files, security and backup — runs in the cloud and is operated for you by a provider. There are no servers in your office. HKC designs the environment on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365, builds it, and then runs it day to day with a 24 × 7 helpdesk.
No user and no device is trusted by default, even inside your own network. Every login is checked against who the user is, whether their device is compliant and whether the session looks risky before access is granted. A phished password alone will not get an attacker in.
No. Staff connect to their cloud desktop over a secure outbound connection, so they work the same way from the office, from home or from overseas — with no VPN to configure, queue behind or troubleshoot.
In the Microsoft Azure Southeast Asia (Singapore) region. Offices elsewhere connect in but host no infrastructure, which keeps data residency and governance to a single clear boundary.
Nothing goes with it. Company data lives in the cloud desktop, not on the device, so there is no local copy to recover. The device can be blocked from access immediately and wiped remotely.
Yes. Your team keeps permanent Global Administrator rights to your Microsoft tenant. HKC works through Microsoft’s delegated admin model using least-privilege roles only — visible to you, and revocable at any time.
There are two parts: a one-time charge to design and build the environment, and an annual managed service fee covering operations and support, alongside Microsoft licensing and Azure usage. Packages are scoped to agreed usage levels so billing stays predictable. Contact HKC for a quotation.
Tell us the task, not the robot
Describe the work you want automated — what moves, how often, how far, and how many people it takes today. That is enough for HKC to say which robot fits, whether the numbers work, and what a pilot would involve.
