Annual Cyber Security Health Check

The constantly growing and changing cyber threat has made the use of external independent
annual cyber security heath checks standard practice for all Australian businesses.

Cybersecurity Audit

Cyber Security Health check

Beyond Technology’s Annual Cyber Security Health check is a service that provides actionable advice on how your security posture rates compared to your peers and the Essential Eight, and what areas of risk have increased since your last review.

Depending on your particular circumstance we may recommend a Cyber hygiene improvement program, or the tactical deployment of a security technology or approach to maintain your risk profile for the next 12 months.

If it’s been a while since your last Annual Cyber Security health check, it may be more appropriate to consider a rapid review such as our Cyber Security & Privacy Assessment

While some Finance related industries and essential services organisations have mandatory regulatory assessment obligations, others see the annual review as the opportunity to ensure escalating risks have been considered and that the organisations security posture has not been materially reduced unintentionally.

If organisations have not materially improved their cyber security approach in the last 12 months, then due to the changing threat environment they will have been exposed to an exponential increase in cyber risk.

Our business outcomes

Beyond Technology advise businesses on how to optimise the use of IT to achieve business outcomes.

Beyond Technology Consulting has several ways to help CFO’s and CIO’s to improve their organisation’s balance sheet. Our consultants are highly skilled in identifying how to optimise your IT costs to ensure that you are taking advantage of the technology available to your organisation.

Many organisations carry a significant IT failure risk without understanding either the potential or consequences of failure. Quantifying the latent risk, and taking steps to mitigate it not only makes good business sense, it often provides significant improvement in the efficiency and availability of “business as usual” IT service.

With the growing demands on IT departments it can be all too easy to focus on rapidly expanding capability and addressing the day-to-day challenges of running the technology. Properly aligning IT to direct business requirements, while improving the communication channels between IT and the business delivers massive efficiency and capability improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions

In most professions where information is asymmetric (i.e. the professional could take advantage of knowing more about the subject that they are advising you on) such as Lawyers and Doctors, the governing body can deregister the professional as stop them from practicing. This does not happen with Technology professionals so conflict of interest is a critical problem. Similarly when a technologist is heavily invested in one specific technology it often becomes their go-to solution (to a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail). By Maintaining our independence, Beyond Technology Consulting ensures that you are provided with unbiased and actionable advice that you can trust is free from conflict of interest and be assured that we are not monetising the advice that we provide you.

We ensure that our recommendations are fit-for-purpose with an understanding of the context of your organisation to be both affordable and achievable.

We focus on understanding the core requirements of the business so that our advice is based on your requirements not the avaliable technology. This ensures that you don't end up with a solution looking for a problem and ensures that technology outcomes will grow with your business and flex with changes in the technology.
