Threat intelligence in
Campaign patterns, CVE windows, and vendor advisories distilled for Hong Kong operators — not raw global noise.
Hong Kong Information Security Group
Trust signals for Hong Kong’s digital economy
Independent membership organisation for Hong Kong cybersecurity and AI security — publishing security bulletins, Trust Reviews, the HKISG IT Awards, and online education so trust claims can be inspected, not merely asserted.
Featured programme
HKISG IT Awards — a public benchmark for security excellence
White-hat testing teams assess nominated platforms against a published rubric. Scores are public. Stars are earned, not bought. Award pages become a durable reference for buyers, partners, and the press.
Member Directory
Introductions to organisations that meet HKISG membership standards — searchable by service category.
Trust Reviews · Fortinet 5.0
Public trust report — Excellent score, category marks, and verified practitioner feedback.
Trust Reviews · Moxie 4.5
Hong Kong events & marketing agency — Excellent 4.5 TrustScore on client-data and delivery hygiene.
How trust is earned
HKISG separates membership fees from scores. Paying for access funds programmes; stars and grades come from published review work.
- Join as a member
Annual plans fund bulletins, education, and the review queue. Directory profiles introduce your organisation.
- Enter Trust Review
Reviewers assess an agreed scope against rubric v2026.2 — including AI security. Results — including limitations — are dated and public.
- Compete for IT Awards
Nominated products and services face a time-boxed white-hat assessment. Stars appear only when the band is met.
- Stay current
Trust Reviews expire. Retests and award cycles keep listings honest instead of forever-green.
Who HKISG is for
One organisation, three practical audiences — each with a clear reason to use the public record.
Audience 01
Security providers
Build a durable public profile: directory introduction, eligibility for Trust Reviews and awards, and a pathway that buyers can inspect without a sales call.
Audience 02
Buyers & boards
Compare dated TrustScores, star bands, and scope notes. Use award pages and Trust Reviews as reference points in procurement and risk discussion — not as secret endorsements.
Audience 03
Practitioners
Follow bulletins, education modules, research, and the glossary. English-first materials designed for Hong Kong operators working under local and global pressure.
Trusted by leading organisations
Hear how practitioners and decision makers use HKISG’s public record to guide procurement and risk discussion.
