Arcord is your independent cyber security and information security consultancy helping to bring knowledge and control to an uncertain world.

Increasing Demand.

Businesses and government agencies are being forced to respond to calls from citizens for transparency by making information more accessible and at the same time must counter an increase in cybercrime and information security incidents, which jeopardise the integrity, availability and confidentiality of important information assets.

Such incidents, whether detected by the organisation or not, lead to losses.  Losses may include financial loss (through fraud), damage to reputation (e.g. loss of credibility and market confidence), inconvenience, illness or injury (tampering with critical infrastructure e.g. water) and in extreme cases cause loss of life (e.g. the disclosure of the location of a protected witness).

Unique Approach.

Businesses and government have a legitimate need to share information and must also protect information, such as personally identifiable information, trade secrets and security classified information.  Arcord is able to advise and assist organisations in the identification of important information assets, threat and risk assessment, control selection and ongoing monitoring.

Arcord provides knowledge and experience to organisations seeking to build trust.  The approach Arcord takes is to prudently balance our client’s core business with internal and external compliance requirements, including the organisation’s own information security policy and standards, legislation, regulation, and industry and government standards.  Arcord can be engaged at any stage.

Industry Experience.

Arcord consultants have experience working for a diverse client base of many sizes.  From local business and technology providers, to state and federal government agencies, international financial services organisations and multinational technology and consulting organisations.  From this wealth of experience Arcord is able understand the needs and limits of different organisations.
