Success Cases
Full IT Service
From strategy to system — We lead with process thinking before writing a single line of code.
Featured — Model C PI Consulting + Full-stack Development Process innovation always comes first. We re-engineer how the business works before designing a single screen.
PI consulting methodology — 5 steps
1
Current-state analysis — stakeholder interviews, document review, 200+ issues identified
2
To-Be direction setting — root-cause synthesis, improvement themes across business units
3
Improvement task definition — To-Be process design, activity mapping, IT requirement spec
4
System build strategy — phased roadmap, budget confirmation, delivery model selection
5
Build → Operate handoff — cloud infra, full-stack dev, user training, outsourced ops
5 build principles
01
PI-first
Process innovation precedes every system decision
02
Business over IT
Requirements driven by how people work
03
Only what's necessary
Essential screens only — zero duplicate entry
04
Phased delivery
Core first, expansion next, optimisation last
PHASE 1

Delivery Models A & B
Global development, Korean quality
Korea & Global One Team
Korea ops team owns requirements and QA. Overseas dev team builds and controls quality. Clients experience seamless Korean-vendor communication.
K
Korea team: client mgmt · requirements · output QA
G
Global team: dev · PM · QC · tech lead dispatched to Korea
Customized R&D Center
Dedicated talent pool and tailored training. Mid-sized companies can build and operate their own offshore R&D center with elastic headcount.
1
Developer interview & onboarding → custom training (OJT included)
2
On-demand scale-up · core leader + flex developers · optional Korea dispatch
PI Case Study
Airrain — Business Process Innovation
Manufacturing · 2025–2026
CHALLENGE
All operations managed via manual Excel. No integrated system. Impossible to define ERP requirements without first re-engineering processes.
WHAT WE DID
4-month PI: 8-week analysis → 213 issues → 41 processes redesigned across 3 divisions → IT requirements and phased roadmap confirmed.
OUTCOME
77 screens covering production, quality, PMS, KMS, analytics. Cloud infra designed. Full-stack build underway through 2027.

Solutions
Zero Trust security — Two complementary products. One design philosophy:
"Never Trust, Always Verify — Every Access, Every Moment"
The perimeter is gone. Every connection must earn trust — every time, regardless of origin.
SYINNOVATION products
The 3 pillars of Zero Trust
01
Always Verify
Trust no request by default. Verify identity, device health, and location on every access attempt — regardless of origin or prior session.
02
Least Privilege
Grant only the minimum access required. Per-app policies and short-lived certificates auto-expire — privilege never persists.
03
Assume Breach
Design as if compromised. Isolate every segment, encrypt all traffic, log every event — limit blast radius.
Why the perimeter model is failing
Legacy perimeter security (VPN-centric)
✕
VPN access = full network exposed — one breach compromises everything
✕
50%+ of attacks enter via VPN; average detection time exceeds 200 days
✕
Cloud & remote work make network perimeters meaningless
✕
Encrypted traffic invisible — lateral movement goes undetected
→
Zero Trust architecture
✓
Every request verified independently — no implicit trust even inside the network
✓
Multiple contextual signals cross-validated in real time
✓
Identity + device + location evaluated continuously — not just at login
✓
Micro-segmentation + per-app access — lateral movement contained
Our 6 security design principles
Principle 01
TLS 1.3 only
TLS 1.2 and below fully disabled. All traffic encrypted end-to-end.
Principle 02
Default Deny
Every request denied by default. Connections without a valid certificate are rejected — no exceptions.
Principle 03
Least privilege access
Per-app policy engine. Certificates auto-expire — privilege never persists.
Principle 04
Kernelless tunnel
Kernel-level attack surface eliminated entirely.
Principle 05
Hardware key isolation
Private keys in SE (Secure Enclave); root keys in HSM. Keys never exported from the hardware boundary.
Principle 06
Continuous trust evaluation
Trust re-evaluated on every request using real-time signals — no standing trust between sessions.
TrustIn CA
Private authentication
Feature 01
3-factor certificate binding
Possession · knowledge · biometric — all three bound in one session.
Feature 02
SE + HSM key isolation
Private key in Secure Enclave. Root key in HSM. Keys never leave hardware.
Feature 03
TLS 1.3 E2E mutual auth
Certificate E2E cross-check. MITM, key theft, PW theft all blocked.
Feature 04
Alchera AI face recognition
Optional unified auth. One registration for all on/offline channels.
Security incident defence
THREAT TYPE
DEFENCE MECHANISM
Key theft
Private key stored in Secure Enclave (SE); root key in HSM — keys never leave hardware boundary
MITM attack
Certificate E2E mutual cross-check + TLS 1.3 — no traffic accepted without valid cert on both ends
PW theft
Device registration cross-check — stolen credentials alone cannot authenticate without the registered device
Device loss
Device lock status verified at every auth — locked or wiped device immediately blocks all sessions
PW leak
Automatic fail & lock after repeated failures — brute-force attempts trigger progressive lockout
Deployment models
SI
SI model — on-premise CA server + HSM. Full customisation for enterprise clients.
SaaS
Cloud SaaS — shared CA on cloud. Subscription pricing. Fast time-to-market.
SDK
SDK packaging — self-integration via guide docs. Reduces vendor dependency.

Decision A
Allow
Low risk · cert valid · location consistent → access granted
Decision B
Step-up
Borderline risk → additional biometric or TOTP challenge
Decision C
Deny
High risk · VPN spoofing / SIM swap detected → blocked + alert
