A clear security strategy, an operating model that works, and leaders who can explain it to the board. We help large organisations point their security programme at the risks that matter.
Most large organisations have spent heavily on security: tools, people, process. What many still lack is a strategy. The security team is reactive, priorities are set by whichever crisis landed this week, board reporting is either vague or too technical, and there is no roadmap.
So the spend does not show up as lower risk, executives get frustrated with the cost, and the security team feels unappreciated and out of step with the business.
We help break that pattern. We assess where you are, benchmark you against the relevant frameworks and your peers, work with your leadership team on a strategy and operating model, and hand the board something it can act on. An engagement typically runs 8 to 16 weeks and ends with a written strategy, an operating model your team believes in, and a roadmap everyone understands.
One item we now put on every board agenda is the post-quantum cryptography transition. ASD expects a plan by the end of 2026, and it is cheaper as a strategy item this year than as a remediation program later.
A pre-audit check of your current security posture against relevant frameworks such as ASD CSF (including the Essentials series that will replace the Essential Eight), ISO 27001, CPS 234 and CPS 230, SOCI CIRMP obligations, SOC 2 Type 2, or other frameworks relevant to your industry.
The structure of your security function: roles, responsibilities, governance, metrics, and how it plugs into the business.
Turn technical findings into risk statements a board can act on, and help your team present them.
ASD wants a refined transition plan by the end of 2026, migration under way on critical systems by 2028, and RSA, DH, ECDH and ECDSA retired by 2030. ISM-1917 already asks new procurements to consider it. Most organisations cannot answer the first question yet: where is your cryptography? We treat it as an architecture problem, because patching alone will not get you there.
Discovery of cryptographic use across systems, data flows and third parties, ranked by data life and criticality. This is the artefact APRA has said it wants to see, and everything else builds on it.
A sequenced migration plan against the ASD milestones, with vendor and cloud provider readiness folded in. Includes the procurement clauses ISM-1917 expects, so new contracts arrive quantum-safe.
Design patterns that decouple algorithms from applications, so this migration is the last one that hurts. The next algorithm deprecation becomes a configuration change.
We will not show you PQC delivery case studies, because like nearly everyone, we are early. What we bring is the architecture discipline the transition needs.
Workshops, interviews, and document review to establish baseline and understand business context.
Gap analysis against frameworks, peer benchmarking, and maturity measurement across security domains.
Strategy development, operating model design, roadmap, and executive messaging framework.
Board-ready output, executive briefings, and delivery of strategic recommendations to leadership.
Security teams talk in frameworks, controls and configurations. Boards talk in risk, competitive position and return. Somebody has to translate, and we have done it from both chairs.
Our consultants have spent years in security leadership and in board rooms. We know what executives ask, what they need in order to decide, and how to put security in words that get a decision.
Our people have led security functions in large enterprises and written the board papers.
We work with ASD CSF, ISO 27001, CPS 234 and CPS 230, SOCI, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, PSPF - whatever frameworks apply to your business.
We work across financial services, healthcare, telco, government and technology, and we know the risks and obligations particular to each.
We deliver strategy your team can execute, then stay around while they do.
Starting from scratch or tightening an existing programme, we can help you land a strategy the board understands and your team can execute.
