The Team

Cyber & Tech Risk

The mission of our Cyber & Tech Risk (C&TR) practice is to increase public trust and participation in government digital services; a key driver in improving Australia’s productivity, equality, resilience, and prosperity. Our subject matter specialists bring scale and expertise across all phases of cyber transformation covering advisory and assurance, privacy and data governance, digital identity, technology implementation, and ongoing security operations.

Cyber Advisory

Our Cyber Advisory team help our clients identify, measure and appropriately manage the cyber risks they carry. We translate the complex world of cyber security by assessing weaknesses in defences, develop strategies and roadmaps to drive up maturity, and support with the implementation of people, process and technology changes. A day in the life of a Cyber Advisory consultant ranges from mastering and applying the broad range of cyber frameworks we implement (e.g. NIST, PSPF/ISM, ISO27k, etc.), to facilitating a cyber crisis simulation, to advising CISOs, CIOs and CROs on strategic changes to their organisations.
