Ascham, a leading independent girls’ school in Sydney, needed a clear, efficient way to improve cyber resilience and report to its board. With MyCISO Assess, they developed a multi-year improvement strategy, streamlined reporting, and reduced reliance on expensive consultants. 

Outcome Summary: 

• Robust multi-year program uplifting against NIST CSF. 
• Real-time board and capital committee reporting. 
• Lower cyber insurance premiums by demonstrating risk reduction. 

“It just simplified something that was traditionally too hard for me – or anyone in my position – to undertake themselves. The clarity, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness were game changers.”

                                   – Georgina Liberale, Director of ICT

The cyber security team at UQ needed a credible way to represent maturity to governing committees, after an audit found their existing approach lacked standards alignment. With MyCISO Assess, UQ adopted an objective, ISO 27001/27002-based assessment that feeds directly into their quarterly cyber security dashboard. 

Outcome Summary: 

• Standards-based maturity assessment, aligned to ISO. 
• Clear visibility for governing bodies via quarterly dashboards. 
• Planned use across smaller UQ entities and supply chain assessments. 

“MyCISO gave us a structured, objective way to demonstrate our maturity to governing committees. The platform’s reporting not only aligned us with multiple standards but also gave clarity and confidence at the executive level.”
