    Cyber Resilience for Australian Financial Services

    Safeguard client trust, satisfy APRA and ASIC expectations and protect the continuity of your services, with security leadership designed for regulated financial institutions.

    Adviser reviewing client documents

    Client trust is your most valuable asset

    Clients and members entrust you with their identities, savings and financial histories. A single compromised account can lead to fraudulent transactions, regulatory scrutiny and lasting reputational harm.

    Financial results presented on screen to a board

    Assurance your board and auditors can rely on

    Clear, defensible reporting on your control environment, risk posture and remediation progress, so you can engage APRA, ASIC, auditors and insurers with confidence.

    The landscape financial institutions now operate in

    Regulatory expectations and threat activity have both intensified. These are the obligations and exposures shaping cyber priorities across the sector.

    Your obligations

    • CPS 234: 72-hour notification

      APRA-regulated entities must notify APRA within 72 hours of becoming aware of a material information security incident.

    • CPS 230 is now in force

      Since 1 July 2025, operational risk, business continuity and material service providers must be managed to a higher standard.

    • Higher privacy penalties

      Serious or repeated privacy breaches can attract penalties of up to $50 million, and eligible breaches must be reported to the OAIC.

    Your exposure

    • Business email compromise

      Fake invoices, changed bank details and hijacked adviser mailboxes remain one of the most costly cybercrimes for Australian businesses.

    • Third-party risk

      Platforms, administrators and outsourced providers hold your data too, and regulators expect you to know how they protect it.

    • Insurer scrutiny

      Cyber insurers increasingly want evidence of MFA, tested backups and incident response plans before offering or renewing cover.

    General information only, not legal or compliance advice. Check current requirements with APRA, ASIC and the OAIC.
