Who We Are

Advisory Built for
High-Stakes Environments

🏢 Founded 2018  ·  HQ: Singapore  ·  Offices: India, UAE, UK

Cadence Apex (CAX) is a specialist risk and transformation advisory firm focused on regulated digital ecosystems, healthcare cybersecurity, and AI governance.

We are not generalists. Every engagement is led by a senior partner with deep domain expertise — not delegated to junior analysts. Our mission: enable healthcare organisations to deploy AI safely, without sacrificing clinical innovation or operational agility.

In a world where a single healthcare breach costs an average of ₹91 crores, the question is not whether to invest in security — it is whether you can afford the consequences of getting it wrong.
