About XTrivain
XTrivain is Pakistan leading cybersecurity company, delivering penetration testing, managed detection and response, compliance consulting, and cybersecurity solutions to enterprise, government, and critical infrastructure organisations across Pakistan and the region.
We exist because Pakistani organisations face real, sophisticated cyber threats and deserve access to cybersecurity expertise that matches the threat. XTrivain was founded by security practitioners with hands-on experience in offensive security, incident response, and security operations, who saw the gap between the threat landscape and the quality of security services available in Pakistan.
Our Mission
To raise the cybersecurity posture of Pakistani organisations through honest assessment, practical implementation, and genuine expertise. We measure success by the improvement in our clients security posture, not by the number of reports we produce.
Our Approach
We do not sell tools as solutions. Every engagement begins with understanding your actual threat profile, your business context, and the specific risks you face. Recommendations are grounded in what will make a material difference to your security rather than what generates the largest contract value.
Our Team
XTrivain consultants hold industry certifications including OSCP, CEH, CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, and GIAC certifications. We invest in continuous training and research to ensure our team stays current with attacker techniques and defensive technologies.
Why XTrivain
We are Pakistani. We understand the regulatory environment, the threat actors targeting Pakistani organisations, and the operational realities of security implementation in Pakistan. We combine global security expertise with local knowledge and presence that international firms operating remotely cannot match.
Pakistan's only
specialist
cybersecurity firm.
Founded in Karachi by practitioners who watched organisations pay for certifications and software licences that did nothing in an actual incident. We fix that. Four core services, one team, no handoffs between vendors.

Why Xtrivain
What working with us actually looks like.
We scope before we quote. Pricing is fixed-fee on most engagements — the proposal number is the invoice number. Reports come with technical findings for your team and an executive summary for the board. After delivery, a named consultant stays as your contact.
One team across all four services
Testing, monitoring, compliance, and incident response are delivered by the same practitioners. No handoffs, no version-control issues between what the pen test found and what the SOC is watching for.
12 OEM partnerships, evaluated independently per engagement
We hold partnerships with a range of industry-leading platforms, including Palo Alto Networks and others. We recommend the right platform for each client environment. No single vendor earns preferred status.
Pakistan-specific threat intelligence
SBP circulars, PTA requirements, NCERT advisories, and the adversary groups specifically targeting Pakistani banking, energy, and telecom infrastructure. Not global threat feeds relabelled for local consumption.
CISSP, CISA, PCI-DSS QSA, and ISO 27001 LA certified consultants
Not training-track certifications. These certifications require hands-on experience and verified practice hours. Our consultants have led breach responses against live banking infrastructure and guided SBP, PCI-DSS v4.0, and ISO 27001:2022 audits.
Plain-language reports and measurable outcomes
Every finding has a risk rating, a remediation action, and a business impact statement. No 400-page reports that end up unread. No hidden scope creep between proposal and delivery.
Message from the CEO
"Security is no longer a choice; it is the foundation of trust."
Dear Partner,
When we founded Xtrivain, we saw a persistent gap: global technology was available, but local execution was consistently failing. Most vendors push products. Very few understand the compliance and threat landscapes specific to Pakistani banking, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and textile sectors.
At Xtrivain, we bridge that gap. We are sector-aware, compliance-first, and outcome-driven. Whether you need PCI-DSS validation for a fintech platform, OT security for a pipeline, or ransomware protection for a textile ERP, we provide the architecture, the tools, and the ongoing support to make security measurable.
We invite you to partner with us. Secure your business. Protect your customers. Lead with confidence.
Warm regards,
Farasat Saeed
Chief Executive Officer

In Practice
What we have actually done
for clients in Pakistan.
Client confidentiality means we cannot publish names. We can describe outcomes.
Banking & Financial
A major Pakistani commercial bank was ready for its SBP cybersecurity examination in six weeks.
Pre-examination gap assessment, evidence packages structured around how SBP examiners actually evaluate, and penetration test documentation in the form the examiner requested. Zero findings issued during the examination that had not already been remediated.
Oil & Gas
An E&P operator isolated its OT network within 72 hours after ransomware entered through corporate IT.
Emergency IT/OT segmentation design and deployment, blocking the lateral movement path before OT systems were reached. Passive monitoring deployed on the OT network before the incident was fully contained. Production was not disrupted.
Pharmaceuticals
A pharmaceutical exporter passed its first FDA 21 CFR Part 11 inspection without a single data integrity observation.
LIMS access control assessment, audit trail validation across all GxP-regulated systems, and a pre-inspection evidence package built around the specific documentation FDA inspectors request. Coordinated with the client's QA team throughout to stay within CSV constraints.
Team Credentials
Certifications that require
verified practice hours.
Our consultants have led breach responses against live banking infrastructure, run red team engagements across critical sectors, and guided organisations through SBP, PCI-DSS v4.0, and ISO 27001:2022 audits. These are not training completions.
Offensive Security
Hands-on penetration testing and red team certifications requiring verified exploitation skills.
Governance & Compliance
Management and compliance certifications requiring verified experience in security governance and audit.
