Information Risk and Governance
Clear, practical guidance on where your information risk sits and how to close the gaps, aligned to the Privacy Act 1988, SMB1001 and ISO 27001, so you know what good looks like and can prove it.
Governance Your Business Can Stand Behind
Boards and leaders are being asked to prove their organisation manages information risk properly, not just claim it. Simply saying “we take security seriously” is no longer good enough on its own.
You need a documented framework, a clear risk register, and a way to show your stakeholders, regulators and insurers that you are across it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Information risk and governance is the practice of understanding where your organisation's information risk actually sits, then putting the policies, controls and reporting in place to manage it properly, rather than relying on assumptions or good intentions.
This depends on the size and complexity of your organisation, but most initial assessments are completed within a few weeks. We will give you a clear timeframe once we understand your environment during the discovery call.
SecureOffice Managed IT is the day-to-day delivery of your IT and cyber security controls. Information Risk and Governance sits above that: it is the framework, documentation and reporting that proves those controls are actually working and meeting your obligations. The two are designed to work together.
No. Many of our clients are working towards ISO 27001 or simply want to align with its framework without pursuing formal certification. We tailor the engagement to where your organisation is at and what you actually need to achieve.
SMB1001 is a cyber security standard designed specifically for small and medium businesses, offering a more accessible path to demonstrating good governance than larger frameworks like ISO 27001. Whether you need it depends on your industry, your clients' expectations and your risk profile, something we can help you work out.
The Privacy Act sets out how organisations must collect, use, store and disclose personal information, along with requirements around data breach notification. Obligations vary depending on your size and sector, so we assess your specific situation as part of the engagement rather than applying a generic checklist.
The Cyber Security Act 2025 raises the bar on what businesses are expected to demonstrate around managing cyber risk, rather than simply asserting it. We help you understand what it means for your organisation specifically and build the documentation and controls to meet it.
Ideally someone from leadership or the board, along with whoever manages IT and any compliance or risk function you have. This ensures the assessment reflects both the operational reality and the governance expectations placed on your organisation.
