Frequently asked questions

From risk assessment to rapid response - we’re with you every step of the way.

Can Cythera assist with ISO 27001 and Essential Eight preparation?

Absolutely. We work closely with government and regulated sectors to achieve compliance with ISO 27001, Essential Eight and other compliance frameworks using practical, tailored support approaches and best-of-breed technology.

How does Cythera help present cyber risks to the board?

Our consultants create actionable, risk-aligned reports that help executives make informed decisions. We bridge the gap between technical detail and board-level communication.

How does a strategic security advisor help?

A strategic security advisor bridges the gap between cyber risk and business goals. They guide governance, policy, compliance, and help you reduce exposure over the long term.

Should we still consider a strategy review if we have internal security resources?

Yes. A third-party review gives independent insight, highlights risks you may have missed, and confirms if your strategy is on track - without disrupting your team's ownership.

What's the difference between strategic consulting and vCISO services?

Strategic consulting is often time-bound and tied to specific deliverables, like a roadmap or uplift plan. A vCISO, on the other hand, provides ongoing security leadership, helping embed cybersecurity into your broader business operations.
