Capability 04

Governance, Risk
& Compliance

Effective governance isn't bureaucracy — it's the foundation that makes every other security control work. We help you build it, measure it, and continually improve it.

What's included
  • Essential 8 maturity assessment & remediation
  • CISO as a Service (vCISO)
  • Incident response planning
  • Tabletop simulations
  • 3rd party risk management
  • Cybersecurity awareness training
  • Phishing simulations
The challenge

Most organisations know they have gaps. Few know which ones matter.

Cybersecurity governance is complex. Frameworks proliferate, regulations evolve, and internal teams are stretched. The result: compliance activity that doesn't reduce risk, and risk management that doesn't align to the business.

SALTT's advisory & GRC capability cuts through that noise. We start from your actual risk environment — not a generic checklist — and build governance frameworks that your team can own and operate.

 

Essential 8 Assessment & Remediation

Independent maturity assessment against the ASD Essential 8 framework, with a prioritised, practical remediation roadmap your team can execute.

CISO as a Service (vCISO)

Experienced CISO leadership on a flexible engagement model. Strategy, stakeholder communication, board reporting, and programme oversight — without the full-time cost.

Incident Response Planning

Practical IR plans built around your environment, your team, and your threat profile. Not a template — a tested, usable plan that works when you need it.

Tabletop Simulations

Facilitated exercises that put your leadership team through realistic breach scenarios. Identifies decision-making gaps before a real incident does.

3rd Party Risk Management

Supplier and vendor security assessments, risk registers, and ongoing monitoring frameworks that give you visibility of your supply chain risk.

Security Awareness & Phishing Simulations

Targeted training programmes and simulated phishing campaigns that build a security-aware culture across your organisation.

What you gain

  • A clear picture of your current maturity and the gaps that matter most
  • A prioritised roadmap your board and leadership team can act on
  • Incident response capability you can exercise and trust
  • Governance frameworks your internal team can own
  • Demonstrable progress against the Essential 8
  • Reduced exposure across your supply chain
