Who We Partner With

The Right Firms. The Right Relationships.

We work with professional services firms whose clients face real cyber, privacy, and regulatory exposure — and who need a trusted specialist they can call on.

Law Firms
Privacy and cyber practices, commercial litigators, M&A teams, and in-house counsel who encounter cyber risk in matters and need an expert they can stand behind.
Your clients get breach response, due diligence, and regulatory advisory — you get a specialist you can rely on.
Cyber Insurers & Brokers
Underwriters and brokers who need pre-binding assessments, renewal risk reviews, or post-incident documentation that holds up in a claims context.
Our reports are structured for insurance use — risk register, framework mapping, and a Board summary that satisfies underwriting requirements.
Accounting & Advisory Firms
Mid-tier and boutique firms whose risk advisory arm needs specialist GRC and privacy capability for client engagements they can’t otherwise service.
White-label or co-advisory — your client, your relationship, our expertise behind it.
Managed Service Providers
MSSPs and IT managed service providers who deliver security operations but lack GRC, Board reporting, and privacy compliance capability their enterprise clients require.
Add GRC and privacy advisory to your service catalogue — white-label or referral, your choice.
Board Advisory Practices
Non-executive director networks and governance advisors whose clients are receiving cyber risk at board level and need plain-language expert guidance.
Our Board-level reporting format was built for exactly this audience — no jargon, clear risk ratings, actionable recommendations.
Recruitment & Executive Search
Firms placing CISOs, CROs, and privacy officers who need an independent cyber posture assessment to brief incoming executives on what they’re walking into.
A BFA assessment given to an incoming CISO on day one is the most valuable onboarding tool they will receive.
Why BFA

What Makes This Worth Your Referral.

When you refer a client to a specialist, your reputation goes with them. We treat every referred engagement as if your name is on the cover — because in practice, it is.

Our passive OSINT methodology means no liability from active testing, no disruption to client systems, and no risk of scope creep. We deliver within defined timeframes, in formats your clients and their boards can act on.

No active scanning — no liability exposureAll assessments are passive OSINT only. No systems accessed, no penetration testing risk.
Board-ready output as standardEvery report includes an executive summary written for non-technical decision-makers.
Defined turnaround times3 to 10 business days depending on scope. We don’t miss deadlines.
Confidential by designStrict NDAs as standard. No cross-referencing of client information between engagements.
No exclusivity. No lock-in.We don’t run exclusive territory arrangements. If you already work with another cyber firm, that’s fine.
“

The question your client’s board will ask after a breach is not who did the assessment — it’s why wasn’t one done before this happened. We help you answer that before it becomes the question.

Partnership Outcomes

What Happens After You Make the Referral.

Two examples of how partner referrals have worked in practice. All client details are anonymised.

Referral Partnership — Law Firm
Panel Arrangement Renewed.
Mobile App Withdrawn in 48 Hours.
A mid-tier Sydney law firm was required by an ASX-listed client to provide evidence of their cyber security posture as a condition of renewing their panel arrangement. The firm’s managing partners also needed an independent baseline ahead of a planned ISO 27001 programme. They referred the engagement to BFA.
What the assessment found
—  Active credentials exposed across breach datasets, including staff with access to trust accounting —  Client document portal running a platform version with actively exploited critical vulnerabilities —  Mobile app transmitting device identifiers and behavioural data to offshore servers without disclosure —  Organisational intelligence accessible via open sources sufficient for targeted BEC attacks
Outcome
Board-ready report delivered within five business days. The mobile app was withdrawn from the App Store within 48 hours. The ASX-listed client accepted the BFA report as satisfying their procurement requirement — the panel arrangement was renewed. The firm subsequently engaged BFA on a quarterly monitoring retainer ahead of ISO 27001 certification.
White-Label — Accounting Advisory Firm
GRC Capability Added to
Client Advisory Service.
A boutique advisory firm with a strong risk consulting practice was fielding increasing client requests for cyber GRC assessments they had no internal capacity to deliver. Rather than turn work away or refer clients elsewhere, they engaged BFA under a white-label arrangement — full assessment output delivered under their letterhead.
How it works in practice
—  Client scoping call with BFA, coordinated through the partner firm —  Full assessment completed within agreed timeframe, no client disruption —  Deliverables formatted and branded to partner firm’s style guide —  Partner firm presents findings directly — BFA not visible to the client
Outcome
The firm retained client relationships they would otherwise have had to refer away. Cyber GRC became a new revenue line within an existing practice, with no additional headcount. The arrangement has since expanded to cover three recurring clients on an annual assessment cycle.
