Compliance Frameworks
Independent guidance across the frameworks that shape your cyber and compliance posture.
The Right Framework for Your Business
Customers, insurers and government clients increasingly ask how your business manages cyber risk. A recognised framework gives you a clear way to answer them. We assess your business against the frameworks that matter most to growing Australian businesses. Our view is independent, so you know where you stand before anyone else asks.
Frameworks We Assess
SMB1001
Australia’s cybersecurity standard designed for small and medium businesses, with five progressive tiers from Bronze to Diamond. Our assessments measure your controls against the standard, and we prepare certification from Bronze to Gold with CyberCert.
Best for: Australian SMBs wanting a practical uplift path and recognised certification.
ASD Essential Eight
The Australian Signals Directorate’s baseline strategies for cyber resilience, covering application control, patching, multi-factor authentication, backups and other core safeguards. Our assessments include a maturity scorecard across all eight.
Best for: Organisations seeking a defensible, widely recognised security baseline.
Australian Privacy Act & Notifiable Data Breaches
If your business holds personal information, you may have obligations under the Privacy Act, including notifying affected people and the regulator when a serious data breach occurs. We help you understand where personal information sits in your business and how well it’s protected.
Cyber Insurance Requirements
Insurers ask more questions every year, and the answers affect your cover and premiums. We assess the controls insurers commonly look for, and give you an evidence summary to support your application or renewal.
Supporting Your Self-Assessments
Some frameworks are completed by your business as a self-assessment. Our independent findings can provide the evidence and gap analysis you need to complete them accurately. Your business completes and signs the self-assessment itself.
- PCI DSS Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ): for businesses that take card payments. We are not a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), so we can’t validate larger merchants.
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework: a voluntary maturity self-assessment.
- CIS Controls: a voluntary technical benchmark.
