Why choose Cythera for policy and standards development
Frequently asked questions
Can Cythera help us align with ISO 27001 or ISM?
Yes. We help you create or refine security policies aligned to ISO 27001, ISM, or other regulatory frameworks. We also ensure policies are practical and adopted throughout the business.
How can we improve policy adoption across the business?
Ongoing awareness, practical advice and consistent messaging are essential. We help reinforce policies with ready-to-use templates, targeted training, and engaging awareness campaigns that embed lasting change.
How do security policies differ from standards?
Policies define the overarching expectations, what your organisation aims to achieve - while standards outline the specific controls and practices that ensure those expectations are met. Together, they form the backbone of consistent and effective security governance.
How often should cyber policies be reviewed and updated?
Security policies should be reviewed at least once a year or in response to key changes - such as technology rollouts, regulatory updates or risk incidents. Cythera helps ensure your governance stays current and aligned with best practice in Australia.
What defines an effective cyber security policy?
Effective security policies are clear, practical and aligned to frameworks like ISO 27001 or ISM. They define responsibilities and expectations in plain language - making it easier for your team to apply security controls day to day.
