What we do
Four practices. One accountable team.
ZYKAV is the cybersecurity, IT audit and AI assurance practice of GCS Group. We help leadership teams understand their risk, meet regulatory expectations and test the controls that matter, including in AI systems.
01 · SPECIALIST PRACTICE

Professional Services
Hands-on assessments and implementation work with defined scope and deliverables.
- VAPT and cloud security reviews
- ITGC and application control testing
- Control implementation and remediation
Managed Services
Continuing governance and compliance support, scoped to your team's capacity.
- Virtual CISO advisory
- Managed GRC and compliance calendar
- Audit readiness and reporting
Client challenges
The problems we are typically asked to solve.
"We are deploying AI, but nobody has tested how it can be abused."
We assess LLM applications, RAG pipelines and agents for prompt injection, data leakage and unsafe tool use, then help your engineers fix what we find.
AI Security Labs"An audit or regulatory deadline is approaching and our evidence is scattered."
We confirm which requirements apply, assess controls against evidence, and build a prioritized remediation and evidence plan.
Regulatory compliance"Our auditors keep raising the same ITGC findings."
We review access, change and operations controls, test them the way auditors do, and help control owners close the gaps.
ITGC testing"We need security leadership, but not a full-time CISO yet."
Virtual CISO advisory gives you a governance cadence, risk register and board reporting without a permanent hire.
Virtual CISO"Customers and partners ask for proof of our security posture."
We prepare you for ISO certification, SOC 2 or customer assessments, so independent auditors find working controls and complete evidence.

Explore AI Security Labs
AI systems need security testing designed for AI.
Attackers rarely target the model alone. They exploit the content it trusts, the tools it can call and the data it can retrieve. Our assessments follow those paths end to end, under written authorization.
Agentic AI security
Tool and permission misuse, MCP integrations, delegation chains and the trust boundaries between agents and enterprise systems.
RAG security
Retrieval access control, poisoning and cross-tenant leakage.
AI supply chain
Model, plugin, dataset and integration risk.
AI governance
AI inventory, risk classification and ISO/IEC 42001.
Industries
Industry detail
Built for regulated, high-dependency environments.
Banking & financial services
IT governance directions, cyber resilience frameworks and secure AI in customer channels.
Fintech
Evidence for bank partners and regulators, without slowing delivery.
Data centers
ISO 27001 and 22301 programmes, segmentation testing and customer assurance.
Cloud & technology
Product AI security, SOC 2 readiness and multi-tenant data isolation.
Healthcare
Protection of sensitive health data and resilience against disruption.
Manufacturing
IT/OT segmentation, identity hardening and continuity planning.
Mid-market enterprises
Right-sized governance and vCISO support as security matures.
Large enterprises
Multi-country compliance mapped to one control set.
Engagement methodology
How an engagement runs.
Every engagement has a written scope, named deliverables and a clear end point. Work is offered as a fixed-scope assessment, a defined project or an ongoing retainer.
- Scope
A short call to understand your objectives, environment, deadlines and constraints, followed by a written proposal.
- Assess
Interviews, evidence review and technical testing against the agreed frameworks.
- Remediate
Findings ranked by business impact, with practical fixes and implementation support.
- Assure
Retesting, reporting for leadership and auditors, and an optional ongoing cadence.
How we work
Commitments you can hold us to.
We would rather earn trust through how we work than through claims. These commitments appear in every proposal.
Written authorization
No testing starts without signed scope, environments, timings and stop conditions.
Traceable methodology
Findings map to public references such as OWASP, MITRE ATLAS, NIST and ISO controls.
Clear boundaries
Readiness work is not certification. Where a formal audit or attestation is needed, we say who must perform it.
Evidence-based reporting
We report validated findings with evidence, and state what was out of scope or not tested.
Confidential handling
Client data and test evidence stay need-to-know and are deleted as agreed.
No inflated claims
We do not list clients, certifications or partnerships on this site unless they are verified and approved.
