Cyber Maturity Roadmap for a Distributed Organisation
Cyber Maturity Roadmap for a Distributed Organisation
The Challenge
Operating across multiple countries with a modest team, this organisation faced growing cybersecurity expectations but limited in-house expertise. Existing controls were inconsistently applied, technical visibility was low and leadership needed support translating risk into prioritised actions - especially with board scrutiny increasing.
The Approach
We developed a practical cybersecurity roadmap, built around the Essential Eight and NIST frameworks - but grounded in the organisation’s operating realities.
This included:
Mapping current controls and maturity to each framework in order to set a baseline score
A desktop assessment and interviews with key stakeholders to identify gaps and any surface risk.
Designing a phased uplift plan based on team capacity and budget
We also created simple reporting materials to help executive and board audiences better understand cyber risks — and their role in addressing them.
The Outcome
✔ A structured, realistic plan to uplift cyber maturity without disruption
✔ Increased board and leadership confidence in managing risk
✔ Clear roles, priorities and sequencing to support gradual improvement
Impact: The organisation built confidence and capability around cybersecurity - with a roadmap that made sense operationally and held weight with executives and stakeholders alike.
