Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)

Establish policies and strategies to manage cyber risk to drive compliance

One of the first aspects Boards and Executives must address for Cybersecurity is Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC).

A key focus from regulators, such as ASIC, centres around the concept of Cyber Resilience. Organisations of all sizes must show an ability to detect, identify and manage cyber risk on an ongoing basis. 

At Matrium, we encourage the adoption of Network Governance as a key basis for cyber resilience. As it allows IT Managers & C-Suites the ability to understand their current state.

From that point, it can help provide access to meaningful compliance data for IT teams, Company Directors and Officers and showcase the practical steps being adopted to drive compliance.

 

To accomplish this, a Cyber Risk framework needs to be implemented that covers the following items:

  • Establish Organisational Context so that all stakeholders are aligned to address any legal, regulatory & contractual requirements in relation to cyber Risk.
  • Create a Risk Management Strategy 
  • Assign Roles, Responsibilities & Authority in relation to cyber risk
  • Build a Policy for managing cyber security risk 
  • Generate Oversight measures so that risk management performance can be reviewed for adjustments
  • Implement a Supply Chain Risk Management program, prioritising suppliers & performing due diligence.
ESSENTIAL EIGHT COMPLIANCE

WHAT IS THE ESSENTIAL EIGHT?

The Essential Eight has been developed by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) to help Australian businesses implement risk mitigation strategies against Cyber threats.

These are the fundamental risk mitigation strategies that Australian businesses are advised to adopt to safeguard their operations.

Each strategy is implemented across four maturity levels, which demonstrate its progressive strengthening. The concept provides a framework from Maturity Level Zero (Lowest) to Maturity Level Three (Highest).

At Matrium, we start by conducting a thorough evaluation of your current Essential Eight compliance status. With this insight, our expert team will confidently lead you through the adoption of cutting-edge practices to elevate your Maturity Level.

Our expertise in cybersecurity ensures that each aspect of the Essential Eight is tailored to your specific needs, from application whitelisting to daily backups.

Achieving and maintaining Essential Eight compliance not only fortifies your resilience but also delivers peace of mind.
