Cyber Security Executive Health Check

Cyber Security Executive Health Check

As a Director or CEO, you have a legal duty to exercise reasonable care and diligence when it comes to cyber security risk. In light of recent ASIC enforcement actions and legislative changes, “I didn’t know” is no longer a defensible position.

This executive-level assessment is designed to benchmark your organisation’s cyber security governance against current Australian standards and regulatory expectations. It provides a clear, jargon-free gap analysis to help you discharge your duties and minimise personal and organisational liability.

The health check takes approximately 8-10 minutes and covers the key governance pillars that regulators and auditors will scrutinise.

High Risk

Your responses indicate a high likelihood of material governance and assurance gaps, and/or limited executive visibility over cyber security risk. At this level, the organisation may be more exposed to incidents, business disruption, and difficulty demonstrating appropriate oversight and due diligence.

Medium Risk

Your responses indicate meaningful gaps or uncertainty in cyber security governance. This typically means some elements are in place, but oversight, assurance, documentation, or executive visibility may not yet be strong enough to confidently demonstrate “reasonable steps” if challenged by a regulator, insurer, or auditor.

Low Risk

Your responses indicate a strong baseline of cyber security governance and executive oversight. This suggests you have good visibility of cyber risk and clearer accountability.

You can maintain momentum by validating that controls are operating as intended (not just documented), continuing regular executive reporting, and periodically testing readiness. The goal at this level is ongoing assurance and continuous improvement.

Next Steps

You don’t need to solve these issues alone.
