More Projects with Limited Resources

Government Departments have an increasing number of projects with changing priorities despite having limited resources to get everything done. Cybersecurity needs to be a high priority for Government departments and Critical Infrastructure, and security solutions need to be simple and effective to provide the required level of protection.


Increasing Compliance Requirements

Federal, State and Local Government are under increasing pressure to assess themselves against and meet a range of compliance obligations, such as the Information Security Manual (ISM) and the Essential 8 controls. This compliance journey can be a long and complicated process of implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS), but Red Piranha is here to help you along this journey.

The latest Auditor General’s Report of NSW Councils highlighted some significant short-falls in compliance to Essential 8: 

  • 85% have zero maturity in application whitelisting. 
  • 73% have zero maturity in user application hardening. 
  • 73% have zero / level 1 maturity in multifactor authentication. 
  • 39% have zero / level 1 maturity in daily backups.
