How we work.
Our methodology is designed for complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Each phase concludes with a reviewable artefact — there are no black boxes, and no dependencies on QSA after the engagement concludes.
The standard engagement runs eight to ten weeks. Organisations with larger estates or more complex governance structures may extend the discovery phase; the remaining phases are consistent in duration.
Every phase concludes with a standalone, reviewable artefact. Our clients leave with documents — not dependencies on ongoing retainer relationships.
Every deliverable is structured to anticipate ASD, APRA, and PSPF inquiries. We write for the regulator in the room, not just the internal audience.
Transition plans include the technical specificity engineers need. Artefacts bridge the board narrative and the backlog ticket — deliberately.
Migration priorities are derived from risk data, not assumptions. We do not prescribe a standard order — we derive the right one for your estate.
The ownership model we design is built to persist without QSA. We explicitly hand accountability to named internal owners before we leave.
Every architecture recommendation is evaluated against future algorithm agility, not just the current FIPS standards. The next transition should cost less.
