Improve Risk Management and Decision Making
Improved Risk Management
GRC helps organisations identify, assess and manage risks effectively. This can lead to a better understanding of potential threats and opportunities, allowing you to make informed decisions to mitigate risk and capitalise on advantages.
GRC frameworks help organisations stay compliant with relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards. This can prevent legal and regulatory issues, fines, and reputational damage.
Enhanced Compliance
GRC provides the necessary data and information to make informed decisions. This, in turn, supports strategic planning and helps in setting priorities and objectives.
Better Decision Making
Risk Assessment Approach
A cybersecurity risk assessment is designed to get a detailed view of possible cyber threats to your business, and your capabilities to manage the associated risks. The range of threats varies across businesses, so an in-depth risk assessment becomes the first and key step in understanding the gaps and vulnerabilities in your existing policies and procedures. In addition to understanding your own risk profile, risk assessments can help identify third and fourth-party risk, which is a crucial part of the journey in getting secure.
Compliance and risk strategies that drive business forward
Taking a risk assessment approach will allow you to know the strength and weaknesses of your current security architecture and get the next steps to improve this first line of defence.
Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) forms the building blocks of information security. A set of GRC practices and processes provides a structured approach to aligning IT with business objectives and helps companies more effectively manage IT and security risks, improve performance, reduce costs, and meet compliance requirements.

Key Compliance, Guidelines and Audit Services
ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is an internationally-recognised information security standard, developed to help organisations protect their information in a systematic and cost-effective way, through the adoption of an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
SOC2
​
Being SOC 2 compliant undoubtedly gives your business a competitive edge. Businesses prefer partnering with vendors who have demonstrated a commitment to preventing data breaches and many require a SOC 2 audit to prove their security. SOC 2 is evidence that an organisation has taken all necessary measures to prevent a data breach.
Essential Eight
​
The Essential Eight is a set of strategies and guidelines developed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) to enhance the cybersecurity posture of organisations. These strategies are designed to mitigate a range of cyber threats and are particularly relevant to government agencies and critical infrastructure providers, but they can also be applied to a wide range of organisations.
