APRA CPS 234 and CPS 230 aligned cybersecurity for banks, insurers, superannuation funds and RSE licensees.

Board-ready cyber security for APRA-regulated entities.

APRA-regulated entities operate under some of the clearest cyber obligations in the Australian economy. We handle the full lifecycle: CPS 234 assessment, CPS 230 operational resilience testing, red-team drills on retail-banking fraud, and 24/7 managed detection with regulator-ready evidence. Our reporting is board-ready from day one.

Cyber threats hitting banks, insurers and super funds.

Real-time payment fraud

PayID, NPP and mule-network abuse blending social engineering, SIM-swap and credential stuffing in minutes, not days.

Third-party and SaaS risk

Core-banking, KYC and credit-bureau integrations creating lateral paths that fall within CPS 234 accountability.

Ransomware on ops platforms

Double-extortion actors targeting clearing, settlement and policy-admin systems during operational-resilience windows.

Insider privilege abuse

Over-privileged core-banking service accounts and shared admin credentials still common in legacy estates.

Questions finance customers ask first.

How do you align detection with CPS 234 notification?

Our playbooks trigger named analyst escalation inside APRA's 72-hour window. We pre-draft the notice, so the Accountable Person can approve it, not write it.

Can you test against CPS 230 scenarios?

Yes. We design and execute scenario tests against your documented critical operations, measuring recovery-time objectives and documenting tolerance-for-disruption evidence.

Do you service mutual ADIs and smaller insurers?

Yes. Our shared-service managed offerings suit mid-market ADIs, super funds and insurers where a dedicated 24/7 SOC is not economic in-house.

Can you work within our change-freeze windows?

We plan engagements around your release calendar, EOFY and reporting blackouts. During code freeze, we can run assurance work in read-only mode.
