Cyber Advisory

One purpose, one practice

We are public purpose sector specialists who support governments and their agencies, and not-for-profit organisations, to deliver services to Australians, helping to build more resilient, equitable, secure and prosperous communities. We are guided by our values of Stronger Together, Amplify Impact, Build Trusted Relationships, Value Every Person, Think Beyond Limits, and Defined by Ethics.

Our purpose-driven professionals provide clients with access to the skills, capabilities and expertise to support the delivery of government agendas and public purpose projects, with specialist teams across three national practices:

• Transformation
• Risk, Programs and Cyber
• Commercial, Financial and Infrastructure

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.
