The Sekuro Difference: Global Framework, Local Execution

Cybersecurity Without Borders

In an era where data flows seamlessly across continents and cyber threats evolve at the speed of technology, organisations must think globally to stay secure. Regulatory requirements, cultural nuances, and technical standards vary widely from country to country, making compliance and risk management a complex challenge—especially for organisations operating internationally.

Sekuro understands that no single organisation can master every market alone. That’s why we have built a robust Global Partner Network, empowering our clients to meet the highest standards of security and compliance wherever they operate. This collaborative approach is particularly powerful when navigating frameworks like the InfoSec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP), which is essential for organisations handling Australian Government data.

What is IRAP?

The InfoSec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP), developed by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), is the gold standard for assessing and improving the cybersecurity posture of organisations that interact with Australian Government data. IRAP assessments are rigorous, requiring deep technical knowledge and a risk-based approach aligned to the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Information Security Manual (ISM).

The Power of a Common Control Framework and Unified Compliance Approach

Navigating multiple compliance frameworks can be overwhelming for global enterprises. Sekuro advocates for a common control framework—a single, unified approach that maps various regulatory requirements (like IRAP, FedRAMP, and others) to a core set of controls. This enables organisations to streamline compliance efforts, reduce duplication, and achieve greater efficiency.

A unified approach means:

• One Set of Controls: Align multiple standards to a single, robust control set, reducing complexity and administrative overhead.
• Consistent Risk Management: Apply consistent security measures across all jurisdictions, ensuring a high standard of protection.
• Streamlined Audits: Simplify the audit process by demonstrating compliance with multiple frameworks through a centralised evidence repository.

Sekuro’s Global Partner Network

Traditional cybersecurity consultancies often operate within the confines of their home markets. Sekuro’s vision is different: we believe that true security and compliance require both global reach and local expertise. Our Global Partner Network is a carefully curated alliance of leading cybersecurity firms, consultants, and technical specialists from around the world.

Key Benefits of Our Network

• Local Regulatory Expertise: Our partners are deeply embedded in their local markets, understanding the intricacies of regional laws, compliance frameworks, and industry standards. This ensures our clients receive advice and solutions tailored to each jurisdiction.
• Multilingual & Culturally Aware Services: Effective communication is critical in security consulting. Our network provides services in multiple languages and with cultural sensitivity, ensuring nothing is lost in translation.
• Seamless Cross-Border Assessments: For organisations with operations in multiple countries, our network enables unified, efficient assessments and implementations—no matter where your teams are located.
• Rapid Response & Support: With partners across time zones, we can provide near 24/7 support and respond quickly to emerging threats or compliance needs.
• Quality Assurance: Our network is committed to delivering the highest quality in every engagement, ensuring that compliance is not only met but exceeded, and that security outcomes are robust, reliable, and repeatable.
