Regulatory Preparedness, Response & Compliance
Regulation is stacking up. Your framework shouldn't.
The 72-hour ransomware reporting clock, SOCI obligations, Privacy Act reform, APRA's prudential standards and its supervisory expectations on AI, the new Aged Care Act. Treated as separate projects, each produces a binder. Vyfority builds one governance framework mapped to controls and verified across the three lines of assurance.
The Clock
72:00
Hours to report a ransomware payment under the Cyber Security Act 2024, for organisations at $3M+ turnover.
72 hours
Ransomware payment reporting under the Cyber Security Act 2024 for organisations at $3M+ turnover. A civil penalty regime, and a clock that tests preparation, not paperwork.
One framework, many regimes
Obligations from the Cyber Security Act, SOCI, the Privacy Act, APRA CPS 234 and CPS 230, and aged-care reform, traced to a single control set. Build once, evidence many.
Three lines, actually tested
Controls verified across the three-lines assurance model: management checks, risk oversight, independent testing. "Compliant" becomes a statement of evidence, not intent.
The Mid-Market Regulatory Squeeze
The binder problem.
Each new regime arrives as its own project, its own consultant, its own binder. The result: overlapping policies nobody reads, controls asserted but never tested, and a board assured "we're compliant" with nothing behind the word.
It is the watermelon problem in a folder: compliant on the cover, untested inside. And when an incident starts the 72-hour clock, binders do not answer regulators. Evidence and rehearsed decisions do.
What The Framework Gives A Board
The regimes, traced to one control set
- 01
Cyber Security Act 2024
The 72-hour ransomware payment reporting obligation. A civil penalty regime for organisations at $3M+ turnover.
- 02
SOCI
Security of Critical Infrastructure obligations, where they apply to your sector and assets.
- 03
Privacy Act
Reform obligations around the handling and protection of personal information.
- 04
APRA CPS 234 / CPS 230 + AI expectations
Prudential standards on information security and operational resilience, and APRA's supervisory expectations on AI.
- 05
Aged Care Act
The new aged-care reform obligations, where they capture your organisation.
The Method — Fixed Fee To Build, Optional Retainer To Run
Four steps to a rehearsed response
- 01
Map
Establish which regimes capture you and build the obligations register: Cyber Security Act, SOCI, Privacy Act, APRA standards and AI expectations, aged-care reform. Gap-assess today's state.
- 02
Build
One governance framework aligned to your internal risk framework: policies people can follow, each control mapped to the obligations it satisfies, ownership assigned where the work happens.
- 03
Verify
Testing across the three lines: management self-checks, risk oversight, independent verification, scheduled by control criticality. Evidence repository maintained; board reporting directors can read.
- 04
Respond
The 72-hour playbook built and exercised: roles, decisions, draft notifications, regulator paths. An optional fractional senior-leader retainer keeps the capability warm.
Optional
Compliance programs stall for lack of a senior owner, not intent.
Delivered through Vyfority's fractional cyber leadership retainer, Virtual CISO →, at a fraction of a full-time hire.
