How an engagement runs

From exposure to action, in three steps.

Seeing what is exposed means nothing without a framework to assess, report and act on it. We do both — most firms do only one.

01

Observe

We map what a threat actor, regulator or competitor already sees — using public data only.

02

Map

Every finding is rated, owned and mapped to the obligations that apply to you.

03

Report

A living risk register and a plain-language Board briefing your directors can act on.

Assessments

Seven assessments. One methodology.

What changes is the obligation your findings are mapped to, and who the report is written for.

One methodology. Eight obligations.

Every engagement uses the same passive methodology. What changes is the framework the findings map to, and the audience the report is written for.

Home / GRC
Governance, risk & compliance

GRC is not a document. It is a cyber posture.

Most Australian organisations have a GRC framework on paper. Very few have one that functions under scrutiny — from regulators, insurers, or a breach investigation.

Three functions, managed together — but genuinely distinct.

G

Governance

Who decides risk appetite, who owns security outcomes, and how the Board knows it is working.

R

Risk management

Identify, assess, treat, monitor — with explicit decisions recorded against each risk.

C

Compliance

Meeting the Privacy Act, CPS 234, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and NIST — with evidence, not assertion.

Frameworks we map to

One report covering every framework you are obligated or expected to meet.

Common questions

What is not covered by the published price?+

Additional domains are $350 ex GST each and additional mobile apps $950 ex GST each. Group and supply-chain engagements are quoted after a short scoping call.

Do you access our systems or network?+

No — never. Every assessment uses passive OSINT and publicly available data only. This is not a penetration test.

Is this suitable for cyber insurance requirements?+

Yes. Many insurers now require evidence of an external security review. The risk register and framework mapping are designed to satisfy it.

How do I pay?+

We invoice once scope is confirmed; payment is by bank transfer. Nothing is payable upfront.
