OUR CORE STRENGTH
Governance Engineering
Instilling governance begins by developing frameworks, policies, standards, guidelines, processes, and procedures; these documents may further be categorized into strategic, tactical, and operational levels as organization size and complexity grows over time. Maximus firmly believes that one of the building blocks for fostering work culture is to be clear about the strategic directions, setting practical and logical implementation expectations, empowering the staff based on their ability and maturity as well as equipping staff with the necessary competency and awareness to effectively discharge their responsibilities.
Maximus advocates a holistic understanding of the nature of business, business and regulatory requirements, organization structure, organization size and maturity, ownership of governance control and boundaries of influence, existing technology capabilities, and operational change limitation before commencing any developmental works.
Maximus also advocates a buy-in with the relevant stakeholders and provides a program to operationalize governance within the Organization.

Risk Management engineering
Risk management is an instrument for Management in discharging their responsibilities towards managing risks. The quality of risk management can be measured through its coverage, consideration depth, and assessment accuracy which greatly depends on the attitude, aptitude, and knowledge of the personnel involved in the risk management.
With more than 20 years of research in information security, Maximus can consolidate known best practices into a risk and control knowledge base. Thus, Maximus has devised robust methodologies and tools to create a closed-loop responsibility-based risk management system supported by a risk and control knowledge base. This has been proven useful for Organization that faces challenges in identifying risks through systematic and exhaustive means, acquiring the skills in risk and control identification, removing biases and subjectivity, assigning risk and control ownership with clarity, creating knowledge retention capability, creating knowledge harvesting capability, fostering collaboration and allowing concurrent facilitation of risk management exercises while reducing the time needed to perform a quality risk assessment.
Audit
While acknowledging that many Organizations are experiencing audit fatigue, Organizations need to recognize that audits are necessary evils to enforce corporate governance and that the quality of audits has great influence over control enforcement. The industries recognize that audit is complementary to risk management, neither one can be effectively executed without the other as the outcome of risk management serves as the input for auditors to review the methodology robustness, coverage, consideration depth, and control implementation and determine their effectiveness.
Maximus audit quality is highly reputable and the secret to our quality control is the comprehensiveness of our audit methodology. Maximus implements a strict training and competency program for all our auditors, requiring them to follow a strict methodology for auditing. Aligned with the evolution of technology and work practices, Maximus associates risk management outcomes as part of the audit equation and develops a holistic methodology for verifying artifacts from various information sources including but not limited to interviews, document and record verification as well as system configuration settings. Maximus also devises effective methods of work to conduct remote audits as well as automate parts of the audit depending on the compliance/conformance requirements and readiness of the operating environment; this results in a reduction of interaction time and travel constraints.
OUR MISSION
Anchored on our values of integrity and a strong commitment to our customers to run their businesses effectively, our mission is to instill frameworks that match with the Organization's needs and culture, thus allowing Management to discharge their due diligence duties responsibly as well as to foster a positive culture of compliance and collaboration through methods and technologies.
OUR VISION
