FAQ

Strategy, leadership & direction

We help define security priorities based on business goals, regulatory obligations, and risk appetite, ensuring security investment supports outcomes rather than constraining them.

A good strategy is clear, risk-based, and adaptable, with defined priorities, ownership, and measurable outcomes that can evolve as the organisation and threat landscape change.

We assess risk through a business lens, focusing on material impact, regulatory exposure, and control maturity rather than tool coverage alone.

Strategies should be revisited following major organisational change, regulatory updates, incidents, or when existing controls no longer reflect the operating environment.

Board, executive & vCISO advisory

We translate technical security issues into clear risk narratives that support informed decisions at board and executive level.

Effective reporting focuses on material risk, trends, and business impact rather than technical metrics or tool activity.

vCISO advisory works as an extension of the existing security leadership team, providing additional experience, strategic perspective, and delivery capacity. Internal leaders retain ownership of the security function, while the vCISO helps share responsibility, reinforce decisions, and accelerate progress without replacing established roles.

Our vCISO services make the most sense when organisations want the impact of experienced security leadership delivered by a coordinated team of specialists, rather than relying on a single full-time hire, to support growth or adopt a more flexible leadership approach.

Governance, risk & compliance (GRC)

We help organisations focus on meaningful risk reduction by aligning controls, metrics, and governance to actual risk and business priorities.

We support a range of recognised frameworks and regulations, tailoring their application to fit the organisation’s context and obligations.

We assess both control design and operation, using evidence and testing to confirm controls work as intended.

GRC platforms provide structure and visibility, and we integrate them with existing systems to avoid duplication and manual reporting.

We map controls to regulatory expectations and help establish monitoring processes that support continuous compliance rather than point-in-time reviews.

Emerging technology (AI & all future tech)

We help establish governance, risk assessment, and control frameworks that enable safe and responsible use of AI at scale.

Secure AI adoption means understanding how AI is used, managing associated risks, and embedding controls without stifling innovation.

Organisations should begin planning now to ensure cryptographic approaches can evolve as quantum threats become practical.
