What we do in Australia.
Australian enterprise customers don't sign contracts without a security review. Essential Eight Maturity Level is increasingly the floor for selling into government. ISO 27001 is table stakes for selling to ASX 200. APRA CPS 234 is non-negotiable for regulated finance. IRAP assessment is mandatory for federal government cloud services. And the next ransomware incident is one phishing click away from being your problem.
Buraq runs Australian cybersecurity engagements that take companies from "we don't really know our security posture" to "audited, monitored and customer-defensible" inside one to two quarters.
What teams in Australia are up against.
The friction points we most often see when we start engagements in this market, and the ones our delivery plan is designed to remove.
Enterprise sales blocked by Essential Eight or ISO 27001 questionnaires you can't yet answer.
APRA CPS 234 deadlines forcing documentation work nobody scoped properly.
Vulnerability scans producing 10,000-line reports nobody triages.
No 24/7 monitoring, incidents discovered Monday morning after a Friday night attack.
Cyber insurance renewals demanding controls evidence you can't currently produce.

Outcomes for Australia teams.
What we consistently deliver, the reasons operators pick us over generalist firms.
Essential Eight uplift in weeks
Most Australian SaaS clients reach Maturity Level Two in 8–12 weeks through pre-built control templates and direct integration with assessment bodies.
ISO 27001 in one quarter
Most Australian clients reach ISO 27001 certification readiness in 12–16 weeks via pre-built ISMS templates, automated evidence collection and direct relationships with JAS-ANZ-accredited registrars.
APRA CPS 234 evidence on demand
Information asset registers, control implementation records, third-party assurance reviews, and 72-hour incident notification workflows maintained continuously.
24/7 monitoring with AEST/AEDT analyst response
Managed detection and response with sub-hour analyst triage during business hours and follow-the-sun coverage for after-hours alerts.
How we work, in detail.
Built for Australian enterprise procurement
Australian enterprise security review is unforgiving. Procurement teams have standardised on questionnaire frameworks (SIG, CAIQ, supplier assurance frameworks for APRA-regulated entities) and they expect documented evidence. Companies that can produce evidence on demand close 30–50% faster than competitors stuck answering questions from scratch every cycle.
We build the evidence infrastructure once: control documentation, architecture diagrams, data flow maps, encryption inventories, vendor management records, incident response runbooks. Then we maintain it continuously.
Aligned to Australian regulatory reality
Australian cybersecurity is regulated through a layered set of frameworks: ACSC Essential Eight at the baseline, ISO 27001 for enterprise-grade ISMS, APRA CPS 234 for regulated finance, ADHA conformance for healthcare, IRAP for federal government, SOCI Act for critical infrastructure, and OAIC scrutiny across the lot. We help map your obligations and design a control programme that satisfies all relevant regimes simultaneously.
Output is a single integrated security programme, not five disconnected compliance projects competing for the same engineering time.

01Can you take us through Essential Eight and ISO 27001?

02Can you support APRA CPS 234?
Yes. We help APRA-regulated entities operationalise CPS 234, information asset classification, control implementation, third-party assurance and 72-hour incident notification, and prepare for tripartite reviews.
03Do you support IRAP assessments for federal government?
Yes. We have direct experience preparing systems for IRAP assessment at PROTECTED, supporting documentation, system security plans, and the evidence required for ASD and DTA cloud certification.
04Are your services billable in AUD?
