Cybersecurity for state government & critical infrastructure operators

State agencies, infrastructure operators, and publicly-funded programmes operate under the strictest assurance and reporting expectations in Australia. CypherLeap delivers programs aligned to the ISM, PSPF, IRAP, and the SOCI Act — built and assessed by accredited practitioners who have worked inside these environments, not just consulted into them.

Built for the assurance bar set by ASD, Home Affairs & sector regulators

For state agencies, government-adjacent operators, and the critical infrastructure entities now captured under the SOCI Act, security obligations are fixed by the regulator and enforced through audit findings, mandatory incident reporting, and ministerial accountability. ISM controls, PSPF principles, IRAP-assessed environments, and CIRMP attestation are baseline expectations — not aspirations. CypherLeap delivers against that bar with the accreditations and practitioner depth those programs demand: ASD-endorsed IRAP assessors, ISO 27001 Lead Auditors and Implementers, and senior consultants who have built and operated security functions inside Australian state government and critical infrastructure environments.

ISM, PSPF & ISMS Programs

Implementation and ongoing operation of Information Security Manual controls, Protective Security Policy Framework alignment, and the policy and governance scaffolding that holds them together.

SOCI Act & CIRMP Programs

Critical infrastructure obligations under the SOCI Act — Risk Management Program design, CIRMP attestation support, sector-specific incident reporting workflows, and ongoing maturity assessments.
