Design of cyber governance forums, RACI and decision-making structures. Vendor and third-party risk management programs including CPS 234 supplier oversight. Fractional CISO services for mid-market and rapidly scaling organisations.
Essential Eight Uplift Packages
"Essential Eight Starter" for SMEs: baseline assessment, quick-win remediation and policy pack. "Essential Eight Plus" for larger or regulated entities: technical control design, implementation support, evidence collection and continuous assessment. Integration of Essential 8 with existing ISM, SOCI, and APRA expectations to avoid duplicate work.
Splunk & Security Analytics
Splunk Enterprise, ES and ITSI architecture, deployment and health checks. Data onboarding, SC4S/forwarder architecture, CIM mapping and content normalisation. MITRE ATT&CK-aligned detection engineering with correlation searches and KPI/KRI dashboards. Risk-Based Alerting (RBA) design and roll-out. Log strategy and platform selection advisory for organisations not yet on Splunk, including hybrid models.
Detection & Incident Readiness
SOC operating model design (in-house, co-sourced, or outsourced/MSSP). Playbook design and optimisation for high-frequency incidents. Incident response readiness reviews and run-book development. Tabletop exercises for boards, executives and technical teams tailored for SOCI, APRA and Privacy-relevant scenarios. Metrics and continuous improvement cycles aligned to Australian regulator expectations for resilience and response.
Assurance, Testing & Review
Control effectiveness reviews for Essential 8, CPS 234, ISM and SOCI programs. Internal audit support and pre-audit readiness for IRAP, ISO 27001 and CPS 234. Independent review of third-party MSSP/SOC performance and content quality. Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing delivered via specialist partners, with CISO24 focused on scoping, risk translation and remediation prioritisation rather than raw scanning.
Identity & Access Governance
Strategy and architecture advisory for identity-centric security and zero trust. Governance design around privileged access management (PAM) including break-glass procedures, approvals and logging. Access certification processes and control testing, especially for CPS 234 and SOCI-regulated environments.
Training & Capability Uplift
Executive and board briefings on Australian cyber obligations (SOCI, CPS 234, Privacy, Cyber Strategy 2030 horizons). Hands-on training for SOC analysts in Splunk search, RBA and use-case development. GRC and compliance training for internal cyber and risk teams (Essential 8, ISM, CPS 234, SOCI). Playbook and tabletop "train the trainer" packages so clients can run their own exercises.
