Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) can offer businesses the security of running their business without crossing any regulatory lines.

Ensure compliance: GRC is often an overlooked element of business. But we must improve resilience and prepare for disruption to remain relevant and deliver value to your customers or clients.

Risk visibility: At The Missing Link, we focus our GRC efforts on a holistic risk viability model. This includes:

  • Strategic risk ownership and governance that affect business strategies.
  • Operational risk that might halt, alter, or affect operations of a company and its processes.
  • Cyber risks that might target applications, databases, infrastructures, and other connected devices.
  • Data risks where information is susceptible to theft or corruption.

Compliance/ Regulatory: The degree to which non-compliance can affect regulatory obligations.

Aligning business goals: Using GRC the correct way means you can align all GRC efforts with your business goals and use insights to strengthen and protect your business.

FAQs

  • What types of data are subject to cyber security compliance?

    Your business could have a range of data that needs to be protected by compliance rules. Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), and financial information must be protected. These data types are managed through various compliance requirements.

  • What are the major security risks?

    The biggest cyber risks to businesses include phishing, ransomware and crypto-jacking. Deep fakes is also an emerging and rapidly growing risk element. Businesses that do not have a well managed or up to date cyber security plan leave themselves very susceptible to cyber security risks.

  • What are the common cyber attacks?

    Malware attacks are the most common cyberattacks, but all cyber security risks must be taken seriously. It’s often all too easy for threats to be carried out and businesses to be vulnerable if they do not have full understanding and managed or cyber risk.

    Start by gathering all your existing cyber security documents and data, then engage an expert such as the team at The Missing Link to help you review, assess, improve, and manage a state-of-the-art cyber security plan.

Perfect Partner Experience

The Missing Link did a great job delivering the first step on our digital security journey. Our network refresh replaced ageing equipment with more modern technology to prevent, detect and respond to the growing digital threats. The Missing Link also worked to incorporate other security focused solutions via the ASD as a Service. This combined approach has allowed us to take a proactive and significant step forward in protecting our corporate and regulatory data. The Missing Link has always gone above and beyond, our relationship with them is a proper partnership.

Lee Bustin | CIO, The Law Society of New South Wales

The Missing Link helped us to understand our current level of maturity against the ASD Essential 8. The expertise and in-depth knowledge provided by their Security Consultants helped us immensely to decipher where we currently stand, and they delivered a roadmap to improve our overall security posture as well. Their team were very easy to deal with, and at the end of the project they delivered a brilliant report that included concise action items. I would highly recommend The Missing Link to any organisation looking to implement the ASD Essential 8.

Michael Bouchaud | Information Security Manager, Department of Premier and Cabinet (VIC)

Working with The Missing Link has fundamentally changed the way we do things. They have identified outdated processes that other IT experts have not commented on, and they’ve given us guidance on how to fix them with clear start and endpoints. The Missing Link’s advice and service are incredibly good, we would recommend them to anybody needing to meet ISO standards. 

Graeme Moore | IT Operations Manager , Recoveriescorp

"We’d been working towards aligning our organisation with the Australian Signals Directorate Essential Eight (ASD8), but when our executive team made it a priority, we knew we had to bring in external support. The Missing Link was the obvious solution – they’d been working with us since we operated from internal servers, had migrated us to the cloud, and were managing our infrastructure. They knew our business so well that they barely needed a brief. They completed a Security Controls Review, identified areas needing work and provided full costings. Now we’re working together to reach ASD8 maturity.”
