Case study

We’re experts in Australian & International security standards

A risk-based approach to strategic roadmap development

A major Australian Government department (“the Department”) undertook numerous system-based security assessments, generating in an extensive number of findings. To help prioritise the resultant security remediation and uplift initiatives, the Department engaged Foresight to develop a strategic roadmap. Foresight applied both a top-down and a bottom-up approach to provide the Department with a holistic, risk-based and pragmatic strategic roadmap. Foresight collaborated with technology and business stakeholders to co-develop the roadmap. The outcome assisted the client with its investment and operational prioritisations while ensuring strategic congruency. The client has since engaged Foresight to provide similar services to its portfolio agencies.

Security strategy advisory and strategic benchmarking for a major agency

A major Australian government agency (the “Agency”) required an industry-aligned and risk-based view of its cyber security strategy. Foresight assisted the Agency in designing and implementing a strategic benchmarking review which addressed key considerations ranging from governance to investment. Using a consultative approach, Foresight’s strategic advice integrated inputs from the organisation’s strategies, risk assessments, industry security standards and outcomes from the strategic benchmarking review. The output highlighted key themes supported by analysis and actionable recommendations, which were used to secure funding and sponsorship for upcoming initiatives. The engagement sponsor indicated the work was of exceptional standard and has since re-engaged Foresight.
