We help you strengthen your cyber resilience so you can stay ahead of tomorrow’s cyber threats 

Cybersecurity & Privacy

Cybersecurity and privacy hero image

Take decisive action against evolving threats and regulation 

As security and privacy needs evolve, so do the capabilities of our teams and the power of our technology. Together they collaborate to build, earn and share trust within your organisation, and the nation. 

Our approach brings together the unique capabilities of global business leaders, local communities, regulators, and researchers to stay ahead of tomorrow’s cyber threats. 

The scenarios we’re solving for as a cyber community

In the constantly evolving landscape of cybersecurity and privacy, we’re creating a continuum of cyber protection for our clients, their customers, and our communities. Our specialist services are designed to address four of the most high-risk cybersecurity scenarios faced by organisations across Australia today. These include:

Operational Resiliency

Driven by rising regulatory pressure, digital disruption and demand for future-proof, AI-enabled business continuity, we support the end-to-end delivery of resilience solutions that integrate observability, cyber, engineering and AI to protect critical operations and enable regulatory compliance​.

Platform and Application Security

The cybersecurity market is scaling rapidly with an increasing recognition for embedding security and privacy controls by design from the outset. 

Organisations are also facing a clear mandate to modernise identity, access and application controls due to the rapid maturing of technology. Our highly specialised capabilities enable you to effectively manage cyber risk  drawing on global threat intelligence, and develop pragmatic solutions for securing your evolving technology ecosystem. 

AI-Powered Enterprise

As investments in AI and GenAI continue to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 24% from 2023 to 2028, clients need to be able to rapidly design and develop advanced agentic AI systems to transform their business processes, enhance decision-making, increase efficiency and drive intelligent innovation without decreasing their cybersecurity posture. 

Digital Operating Model & Technology Modernisation

Australian enterprises are investing in digital transformation and AI, including the modernisation of legacy platforms and processes and reimagining their operating model to simplify, enable agility and get greater speed to value. When done correctly, cyber security is both an enabler, and beneficiary, of technology modernisation and digital transformation.  

Cyber Governance, Risk and Compliance

We support clients in the development of cyber and technology risk strategies, AI-enabled cyber assessments and controls testing relevant to regulatory compliance and frameworks, including CPS234, ISO27K, AESCSF, SOCI, NIST CSF and the Essential Eight.

Identity and Access Management

We support clients with advisory, implementation and support services for workforce and customer identity and access management across the identity lifecycle (including use cases for MFA, SSO etc.) using market leading technology solutions to govern, protect and secure their identities.

Data Protection and Privacy

We can help manage and protect your data through data assessments, frameworks, classification and governance.

  • Privacy strategy, regulation, and compliance

  • Data governance and records management

  • Data discovery and protection 

  • Data and analytics
