FAQ
Questions we hear first
How long does ISO/IEC 27001 certification take?
For a small to mid-sized organisation, typically four to nine months from gap assessment to certificate, depending on how much is already in place and how quickly decisions can be made.
What is a virtual CISO?
A senior security leader engaged part-time or on retainer. You get strategy, risk management, board reporting and audit ownership without a full-time executive salary.
Do you work outside Sydney?
Yes. Phoebus Group is Sydney-based and works with clients across Australia and the Asia Pacific, remotely and on-site, including regular work in Canberra for government suppliers and with clients in Papua New Guinea.
What is IRAP assessment readiness?
Preparation for an assessment by an IRAP assessor against the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM): mapping controls, closing gaps and assembling evidence so the assessment runs smoothly. We prepare; an independent assessor assesses.
