Client Requirements

As a state government body associated with globally recognised motor sports brands, the Australian Grand Prix Corporation (AGPC) had a big responsibility in upholding their reputation and protecting it from cyber security threats. Most of the year, AGPC operates with a small team, however during their flagship event like the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix, the number of internal staff double and many contractors are also engaged. Their challenge was implementing a technology that could adapt to peak event periods and ‘business as usual’ whilst all being managed by a single IT professional. 

Implementation

AGPC partnered with Sekuro for vCISO through our Cyber Resilience Program, our virtual security services that allows us to act as their eyes and ears on the ground of the cyber security world. By providing assistance in monitoring, triaging, and remediating, AGPC can now focus on their core duties of infrastructure and technology stack management. 

Impact

By implementing a position of continuous improvement of security maturity, AGPC has significantly strengthened their security posture and are now well-aligned with new governmental standards. Our Cyber Resilience Program provides AGPC with tailored cyber security guidance and support whilst our Technology and Platform team assists in managing and optimising their technology stack. This has ensured yearlong protection of AGPC’s reputation and continued regulatory compliancy

“At the business level, Sekuro has been a great help with the awareness of threats. Being a government body, there are new standards, both physical and data security, that we need to adhere to all the time. Sekuro helped perform the self-assessments based on those standards, discovered the gaps we had, and built the remediation plans to fill those gaps. Sometimes it feels like I could not function without Sekuro’s help!”
