We provide a wide array of services under the vCISO banner that will be of use to your business depending on where you are in your security journey. Our approach is to work with you to assess your information assets and their current protection. Then we identify a manageable number of activities that, once implemented, will improve information security within your business.

If you think it is time to improve the security of your business this may be an opportune time to engage with Governix.

The services outlined on this page can be carried out under a retainer based vCISO engagement, or as individual engagements.

We translate complex cyber risk data into clear, concise, and actionable reports that address the Board's governance duties. We can design and deliver Board-ready cyber dashboards. This ensures the Board has a comprehensive understanding of the top-tier cyber risks and the effectiveness of management's mitigation efforts.

Providing a protected and resilient approach to strategic mission operationalisation, a Governix specialist can be invaluable to executives, particularly by managing the complex cyber domain where internal expertise may be limited. Governix is focused on elevating information security as a critical business risk and a fundamental driver of digital resilience.

Governix serves as a strategic partner who uses the lens of risk to help you achieve your mission with greater certainty and resilience.

Whether you have a framework to assess your business against or want to understand your security risks. We can provide a practical assessment to kickstart your journey, or check that you are still on track.

We also have a breadth of knowledge in implementing and maintaining various security frameworks (CS-CMM, PSR, NZISM, NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001) and the underlying controls that need to be implemented for differing information security classifications or risk appetites.

Governix security assessments also provide you with a roadmap of pragmatic activities tailored to your risk appetite and maturity.

Just like our security assessments we can also offer a robust plan for you to prepare to achieve your compliance needs.

We will help you identify legislation, regulations and standards that may be applicable to your use of information and information systems. These may include: The Privacy Act 2020 or AU Privacy Act 1988. Protective Security Requirements (PSR), incorporating the New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM). The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), or ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management

We will provide a high-level assessment of your compliance to these standards and identify areas of immediate concern.

Governix has created the Cloud Operational Security & Efficiency (COSE) Assessment

We don't just look for vulnerabilities; we assess your cloud infrastructure through an operational and security efficiency lens. Our service delivers a clear, actionable roadmap to maximise your cloud investment while minimising operational risk.

Areas we can focus on are reviewing your design or deployment of: Configuration Drift & Stability, Identity and Access Management (IAM), Cost-Effective Compliance and/or Security Monitoring & Alerting settings.

The NCSC’s Cyber Security Framework deems security awareness as one of the 10 minimum standards inline with global security frameworks and standards.

Whether you require the online security safety 101 or more sophisticated training for staff and technical staff, we have you covered. We can run workshops, provide materials and resources or implement online courses from our partners.

We have all heard that its not If its when you succumb to a cyber attack.

Having robust planning and processes implemented to aid response and recovery to security incidents is crucial to containing and minimising their impact.

Governix can also help you exercise your plans, just like you do with emergency plans, to ensure everyone knows what to do.

Cyber attacks can holt business services. Our BCP implementation also includes responding to a disruption of any other critical business processes.

Governix analyse potential high-impact, low-probability events (e.g., a major cyber-attack, a severe supply chain failure, or a sudden regulatory shift) to develop robust response and recovery plans.
