Through our retainer-based mentorship, coaching, and advisory services, we leverage our extensive experience, and lessons learned throughout our journey, to guide young CISOs, ISOs, and Security Managers in achieving their mandates sooner and more efficiently. Our CIO advisory services offer strategic and operational insights in areas such as Security Governance, Risk and Compliance, Risk Management, Resourcing and Delivery Optimisation, and ROI determination for both security technologies and services investments.

Benchmarking your security program against established standards such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, PCI/DSS, CPMI/IOSCO, or TISAX is an invaluable tool for measuring your organisation's current security posture. This process drives continuous improvement, identifies blind spots, and provides peace of mind to your stakeholders. We offer independent benchmarking of your security program, and if certification is your goal, we can help you assess your readiness before engaging an independent assessor. This ensures reduced audit anxiety, minimises unnecessary delays and costs, and assures a smoother certification process.

Establishing a security program demands a significant investment of time and expertise. Key tasks like defining the scope, identifying relevant threats, setting objectives, drafting policies, and determining appropriate security levels all require careful consideration. When poorly executed, these tasks can lead to unnecessary delays and increased costs. It’s also essential to identify critical roles within IT, business units, and executive leadership, and to establish measurable criteria for progress to maintain momentum. Let us assist you in designing your cybersecurity program by utilising proven templates, methodologies, and practices to streamline the process and reduce your build time significantly.

Not all businesses want to invest the time and resources required to maintain an in-house team for their security program. A virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) can be an effective solution for organisations that wish to leverage the expertise of a seasoned professional without the costs and resource commitments of a full-time hire. In this model, we contract with clients to oversee their security program as needed. Let us help you achieve your security objectives.

Managing vulnerabilities across your environment can quickly become a resource-intensive task, especially without the right expertise. Our services provides continuous scanning of your critical assets and identifying vulnerabilities in real-time. We then analyse, prioritise, and help you focus on the most critical risks first. While remediation approaches may vary depending on your environment, we ensure that all changes are implemented with thorough testing and proper change management processes in place, minimising business disruption and ensuring your systems remain secure.

Understanding how secure your IT environment is can be challenging, but we can help you by simulating a cyber-attack to identify any exploitable vulnerabilities. This allows us to assess your level of exposure and pinpoint the areas that need attention to strengthen your security posture. Additionally, we offer desktop-based cyber-attack simulations, enabling you to rehearse real-world attack scenarios. These simulations help refine your response strategy, clarify the roles and responsibilities of key role players, and ensure that your incident response plan is executed with precision.

Our team of experts will simulate an attack from inside your network, attempting to compromise your environment or systems to provide a comprehensive assessment of your security defences. Through this testing, we identify weaknesses and provide tailored remediation recommendations to strengthen your security posture. If your internal team lacks the capacity to implement these improvements, we can also assist with the remediation process to ensure your systems are effectively secured.

Incorporating security controls from the outset is crucial when developing custom applications and web applications. Our security assessments evaluate your applications for any exploitable vulnerabilities. The insights gained from these assessments will help you safeguard your digital assets to better protect your applications against successful cyber-attacks, enabling you to build secure and resilient applications from the ground up.
