Security Maturity Assessments

Cyber Security is an ever evolving discipline where the current best practices are changing daily to meet the challenges posed by malicious actors. In the past we could be content that we understood the local threats to our organisations operations, we cant operate like this anymore.

In the modern world, not only are these threats now global but they are operating from a position of low cost to execute, often with anonymity on their side and jurisdictional protections.

Engineering a completely secure operational platform on which our organisations can safely go about their business is expensive and often undermined by simple things that range from misconfigurations, incorrectly chosen products, inappropriate controls and even poor implementations.

Often our IT staff are doing the best they can with the knowledge at hand, the biggest issues they face is limited experience outside their sphere of influence and knowledge of how malicious actors operate. Add to this the fact the majority of cyber security attacks are intangible or go un-noticed and you have a recipe for disaster.

Our team has extensive experience delivering cyber security solutions to some of the largest organisations in Australia, applying best practice advice and techniques to complex environments.

We offer a range of services to that provide you with details on your security posture as well as simple guidance and advice on the most effective ways to improve your posture.

We highly recommended having maturity assessment performed against the ACSC essential 8. The ACSC Essential 8 is a grouping of 8 elements designed to mitigate the most common set of vulnerabilities that organisations face. Developed by the ACSC over years of analysis and investigation of the Cyber incidents threatening Australia's interests and collating the common things that would have prevented each attack.

Other assessments we can offer cover best practice maturity assessments against operational systems. While a system may have been installed using best practices at implementation time, as time passes and the industry moves on systems can deviate from those best practices as well as best practices evolving away. When systems are not supported and operated to best practices, not only does it become difficult to maintain but it also creates issues when it comes time to integrate with new systems. These practices can lead to Vulnerabilities remaining undetected, and it also allows malicious actors to hide their activities when a breach occurs.
