  • From Zero to Secure – Building a Compliant IT Backbone for a Haircare Brand

Problem Statement

A rapidly growing hair products manufacturer was ready to scale across India and the US. But there was a roadblock — they had no formal IT infrastructure, no security framework, and no policies for data privacy. Big clients and auditors began asking: How do you protect sensitive business and customer data? Is your production network isolated from corporate systems?

Do you follow recognized information security standards like ISO 27001? With business-critical deals at stake, they needed not just technology, but a globally recognised compliance posture — and they needed it fast.

Our Approach

Alliance Pro was brought in to execute a greenfield IT and security transformation alongside an ISO 27001:2022 implementation project. We followed a two-track approach:

Designing and deploying a secure, scalable network from scratch..

Embedding ISO 27001 controls into every layer of the build, ensuring security-by-design.

Key Implementations

Network Architecture Blueprint – Covering multiple security zones for IT, Finance, Production, and DMZ environments.

Firewalls – Next-gen devices with advanced threat detection and logging.

Switches & VLAN Segmentaion – Logical separation of departments to contain risks.

DMZ Servers – Hosting public-facing services in an isolated zone.

ISO 27001 Framework Setup – Policies, risk registers, asset inventories, incident response plans, and awareness training for employees

Turning Point

Before our engagement, the environment was like a single open hall — everything connected, no locks, no guards. After our implementation, the company had a multi-layered, standardised security posture mapped to ISO 27001 controls.

For the first time, they could present audit-ready documents, infrastructure diagrams, and security policies to global clients without hesitation.

Scope & Efficiency

Complete IT network and security deployment in line with ISO 27001 requirements.

Alignment of technology and policy — from VLAN segmentation to data handling procedures.

Implementation completed in tight timelines to meet upcoming client audits

Scalable model that supports future compliance renewals and expansions.

Outcome

The company went from having no formal IT or security to operating a fully compliant, ISO 27001-aligned infrastructure in a Quarter of time. Audit findings showed zero major non-conformities, and the client secured new contracts with overseas buyers who demanded proof of compliance. Today, they have 24/7 operational uptime, structured security governance, and a clear compliance roadmap
