Established in 1886, Ascham School is an independent, non-denominal day and boarding school for girls located in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. The school is an NFP with over 1000 students.
The sensitive nature of its crown jewels, extensive student data.
A small IT team with obligations to report on improving the security posture of the school.
Struggle to find a mechanism to both outline gaps in security and also design a dynamic strategy to uplift and reduce risk.
Gave a clear and simplified approach to security GRC via MyCISO which was more economically viable than consultants.
Access to a single console to generate quarterly reporting to the board/ capital committee.
Enabled reporting across multiple control frameworks, identified key risks and generated a dynamic strategy to implement.
Created a consistent security operating model for IT, the board and external stakeholders to understand the security program and clearly articulate the progress.

MyCISO Assess enables organisations to evaluate their security maturity, identify gaps, and build a tailored security improvement strategy aligned to industry frameworks.
By implementing MyCISO Assess, Ascham School was able to overcome a challenge that had previously been too complex for their team to manage internally.
Georgina highlighted how the platform’s simplicity in both management and reporting made the process much more accessible and manageable. “It just simplified something that was traditionally too hard for me – or anyone in my position – to undertake themselves.” The ease of use and clarity in how the reports are generated were particularly impressive, especially given the cost-effectiveness of the solution,” she said.
MyCISO Assess empowered Ascham to develop and execute a multi-year security improvement strategy that was previously out of reach, allowing them to allocate funds to critical areas of security uplift rather than spending on expensive external assessments and reporting.
The platform evolves with customers’ needs and the threat landscape, offering valuable support throughout every stage of their journey.
The benefits of the MyCISO platform at Ascham School was evident immediately. We now have a robust multi-year security program uplifting against the NIST CSF 1.1 – something which most schools would struggle to undertake without an expensive external team managing this for them. What is more, we can provide assurance to the board, parents and other external stakeholders at the click of a finger and drive down our security insurance premiums by demonstrating the real time risk reduction we are undertaking.
MyCISO provided Ascham School with a cost-effective, streamlined solution for improving security posture and reducing risk, while offering real-time reporting and reducing the need for expensive external consultants. It was an obvious choice for them to become one of the MyCISO early adopters.
