Award-winning cybersecurity firm, CyberGrape, is once again pioneering new technologies in the New Zealand market by becoming the first 100% New Zealand-owned business to partner with MyCISO, headquartered in Australia.
CyberGrape is known for discovering new technologies and tools while delivering valuable outcomes to businesses in New Zealand. The company established its reputation by pioneering third-party cyber risk monitoring long before New Zealand was ready for it. This effort earned CyberGrape an enviable reputation as the go-to security firm for Black Kite Cyber Risk Monitoring services. This unique security capability has allowed CyberGrape to boast a prominent clientele list in both the private and public sectors.
The Fractional CISO (vCISO) service is part of CyberGrape’s consulting arm. After conducting various vCISO engagements, it became evident that traditional methods—using multiple tools and spreadsheets, coupled with many hours of consulting and report writing—would be difficult to scale. This approach conflicted with CyberGrape’s mission of delivering high-grade security products and services at a price point that makes sense for the New Zealand SMB market. Recognizing this early, CyberGrape embarked on a mission to find a GRC platform that would provide a new base structure for the service, saving clients time and money while maintaining the high level of expertise they are known for. After thoroughly exploring the market and testing multiple platforms, CyberGrape found their solution.
The MyCISO offering is a SaaS-based governance, risk, and compliance platform divided into three governance modules: ‘Assess,’ ‘Suppliers,’ and ‘Culture.’ The Assess module guides consultants through the journey of understanding business context and setting goals, conducting control and risk assessments, and ultimately crafting a security strategy within an integrated platform. This platform is meticulously designed to streamline each step, ensuring simplicity and quick wins. Whether you aim to grasp the best security framework for your business, evaluate your maturity, or formulate your first strategy, CyberGrape’s vCISO services, powered by the MyCISO platform, empower you to achieve these goals effortlessly.
“We already provide vCISO services to organizations here in New Zealand and around the world, with clients as far away as Japan and even the UK. Our new partnership with MyCISO means we can now deliver consistent and structured engagement to our clients, extending our offering of international security frameworks like ISO27001 and PCI-DSS 4.0, to now include Australian-based standards like ASD8 and SACSF (South Australia Cyber Security Framework),” said Niel Chapman, CyberGrape Founder and CISO.
With this new partnership, CyberGrape plans to disrupt the market by providing kiwi companies a flawless standards based virtual CISO consulting service, that will allow businesses to achieve their information security goals whether it’s simply increasing their security maturity or achieve compliance to industry standards.
