Cyber Security Assurance for ASX Listed Companies

Independent, senior-led and vendor-neutral — fixed-fee cyber security advisory for Australian government, councils and enterprise, led by a practitioner with 27 years hands-on.

Independent cyber assurance for ASX-listed companies — board-grade, vendor-neutral validation of your security posture for directors, audit and risk committees. Led by founder Ken Armitt, 27 years in security.

Listed entities are accountable to the market, regulators and shareholders for cyber resilience. We provide the independent, executive-level assurance that gives your board confidence — backed by evidence.

Why ASX companies engage us

Cyber incidents no longer impact just IT departments. They impact:

  • Market confidence
  • Shareholder value
  • Regulatory scrutiny
  • Corporate reputation
  • Board accountability
  • Insurance coverage

Many organisations invest heavily in cyber security technology but still lack independent validation that controls are operating effectively.

Our assessments provide executive-level visibility into:

  • Strategic cyber risks
  • Governance gaps
  • Third-party exposure
  • Operational vulnerabilities
  • Compliance readiness
  • Board reporting maturity

We translate technical findings into business-risk language executives can understand and act upon.

What you receive

Independent executive-level review

Unlike managed security providers, we are not auditing our own work. Our role is to provide an objective assessment of your environment and identify risks before regulators, investors, customers or attackers do.

Our reviews cover:

  • Governance and risk management
  • Security policies and procedures
  • Identity and access controls
  • Cloud security
  • Third-party supplier risks
  • Security monitoring capabilities
  • Incident response readiness
  • Data protection controls

The outcome

By the conclusion of the engagement your board will have:

  • A clear view of current cyber risk exposure
  • Prioritised recommendations based on business impact
  • Independent validation of security controls
  • Executive-ready reporting
  • Greater confidence during audits, investor reviews and due diligence processes

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from our managed security provider?
Independence. An MSP cannot objectively audit its own work; we provide an external, conflict-free assessment your board and auditors can rely on.

Can you present to our board or audit & risk committee?
Yes — we provide board-ready reporting and can present findings and the remediation roadmap directly to directors and committees.

Do you align to recognised frameworks?
Yes — assessments map to Essential Eight, ISO 27001, NIST CSF and APRA CPS 234/230 where relevant, so findings are defensible to regulators and investors.
