Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC)
Advisory-Led. Risk-Aligned. Compliance-Ready.
In an era of constant change and increasing regulatory scrutiny, strong governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) practices are essential for public sector agencies and critical infrastructure providers. At Digital61, we partner with organisations to build and operationalise GRC frameworks that are practical, aligned to Australian standards, and fully integrated into broader cybersecurity operations.
Our GRC Services
We offer a suite of end-to-end GRC services to support both strategic oversight and operational execution:
Governance & Policy Development
Establish clear, effective security policies aligned to the PSPF, ISM, and ISO/IEC 27001 standards. We help translate complex requirements into actionable internal controls.
Security Assurance Services
Conduct independent assurance activities such as system reviews, security design validation, and control testing—delivered by experienced, AGSVA-cleared advisors.
Risk Management Frameworks
Design and implement enterprise risk frameworks tailored to your mission, operating model, and compliance obligations. Includes risk assessments, control libraries, and treatment plans.
IRAP Readiness & Assessments
Support for agencies and vendors preparing for IRAP assessments. We help map your architecture, documentation, and controls to ISM/PSPF requirements and guide you through assessor engagement.
Continuous Compliance
Ongoing mapping of security controls to PSPF, ISM, Essential Eight, and IRAP requirements—ensuring you stay audit-ready and compliant at all times. Our proactive approach includes automated evidence collection and regular compliance posture reporting to reduce audit overhead and operational risk.
Essential 8 Uplift & Assessment
Comprehensive evaluation of your current security posture against the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Essential Eight framework, followed by tailored uplift activities and maturity reporting to strengthen resilience.
