Security Philosophy
Security Team
DKSH's Digital & IT organization has 508 professionals worldwide, with its hub in Kuala Lumpur led by the Chief Information Officer. Publicly identified security functions include IT Security, Security Operations, Enterprise Security, IT GRC, and Application Security. Sam Oh is Chief Information Officer; Arminderpal Singh Gill is listed publicly as Senior Director Information Technology. One Senior Specialist Application Security Engineer posting and one Technical Lead Security Operations posting were active in late August 2026. An AppSec-specific headcount is not publicly available.
Key Initiatives
Active publicly documented initiatives and workflows include: coordinating application penetration tests from scope through vendor coordination, report review, retesting, and closure validation; conducting web, API, mobile, cloud-hosted, and enterprise application assessments; tracking vulnerabilities from discovery through remediation with severity, owner, risk, due date, and closure status; supporting security requirements, threat-modeling inputs, secure-coding guidance, release checks, and sign-off criteria; producing executive and technical reports covering high and critical findings, aging, recurring weaknesses, remediation status, and business impact; coordinating remediation across application owners, developers, QA, vendors, infrastructure, and security operations; and operating SOC processes involving alert triage, incident queues, threat hunting, playbooks, escalation, reporting, post-incident reviews, and corrective-action tracking. No public evidence was found for a DKSH Security Champions program, bug-bounty intake, explicit AppSec remediation SLA, or AppSec initiative launched during the six months before.
