Cyber Security Program Development

Build a Structured, Resilient, and Scalable Security Program

A strong cybersecurity program is not built overnight—and it is not just about buying tools. It requires a well-defined framework, executive alignment, clear roles and responsibilities, and ongoing governance.

At NSAA Security, we help organisations of all sizes develop and implement cybersecurity programs tailored to their risk profile, compliance obligations, business goals, and operational maturity. Whether you're starting from scratch or improving an existing program, we provide the strategy, structure, and support needed to create long-term security resilience.

 

Why You Need a Cybersecurity Program

Modern threats are sophisticated and constantly evolving. Without a structured program in place, businesses often respond reactively—putting out fires instead of preventing them.

A well-developed cybersecurity program helps you:

  • Establish clear policies and controls

  • Align your security with regulatory and contractual obligations

  • Enable faster, more effective responses to incidents

  • Build a strong security culture across the organisation

  • Gain visibility over risk, asset protection, and vendor exposure

  • Provide assurance to clients, partners, and stakeholders

It becomes the foundation for all cybersecurity activities—governance, operations, compliance, and improvement.

What We Offer

NSAA delivers tailored Cybersecurity Program Development services based on your business size, industry, and existing maturity. Our goal is to help you build a program that’s practical, effective, and aligned with recognised best practices and standards.

1. Security Program Framework Design

We start by working with your executive, IT, and risk teams to define the structure of your cybersecurity program. This includes:

  • Program scope and objectives

  • Governance structure and reporting lines

  • Security policies and standards

  • Roles and responsibilities

  • Risk management approach

We ensure your program is aligned with frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, ISM, and Essential Eight.

2. Maturity Assessment & Gap Analysis

If you already have an informal or partially implemented program, we’ll conduct a gap analysis to assess your current state against your desired maturity level. This helps prioritise short-term wins and long-term goals.

3. Security Policy & Control Development

We help you create or refine core policies and technical controls, including:

  • Access control and user management

  • Data classification and handling

  • Incident response and recovery

  • Asset management

  • Third-party risk management

  • Secure development and change management

  • Business continuity and disaster recovery

Policies are mapped to compliance needs, such as ISO 27001 Annex A, APRA CPS 234, or PCI DSS.

4. Security Awareness & Culture Building

A program is only successful if people follow it. NSAA can help design awareness and training initiatives that build a culture of security, from executives to front-line staff.

This may include workshops, phishing simulations, and regular policy refreshers to keep your workforce engaged and informed.

5. Implementation Roadmap

We provide a clear, prioritised roadmap that outlines:

  • Immediate actions to close critical gaps

  • Medium-term process improvements

  • Long-term initiatives to strengthen resilience

  • Metrics to track performance and outcomes

This roadmap is practical, budget-aware, and designed for real-world implementation.

 

Standards & Frameworks We Work With

NSAA’s security program development aligns with globally recognised and Australian-specific frameworks, including:

  • Essential Eight (Australian Signals Directorate)

  • ISM (Information Security Manual)
