Artefakt launches to strengthen cybersecurity governance, risk and assurance for Australian organisations

Sydney and Canberra, Australia, November 11, 2025 - Artefakt (Artefakt Pty Ltd) has officially launched to the Australian market, offering organisations a clear and measured pathway to stronger cybersecurity governance, risk management, and compliance. With decades of combined experience in government, finance and critical infrastructure environments, the Artefakt team provides services ranging from ISO 27001 information security management systems and Essential Eight maturity assessments and uplift activities to IRAP assessments and strategic advisory.

"Boards and executives are under increased pressure to evidence that their security controls work in practice, not just on paper," Managing Director Josh Green said. "Our focus is on helping clients demonstrate that linking cybersecurity activities with verifiable outcomes works to ultimately support organisational objectives."

Market Context

Government: Commonwealth, and state agencies and their supply chains must demonstrate security alignment with relevant frameworks including Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) and the Information Security Manual (ISM), NSW CSP, Victorian VPDSF, Queensland's IS18 and others. Recent updates to both PSPF and ISM emphasise evidence-based assurance and third-party oversight, increasing demand for IRAP assessments and Essential Eight maturity assessments across the public sector.

Enterprise: Regulated industries - including financial services, healthcare, and critical infrastructure - face heightened scrutiny under APRA CPS 234, the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act (SOCI) and other obligations. Regulatory focus on accountability for cyber risk means organisations must show clear linkage between cyber and information security activities and their effectiveness. Artefakt's governance and assurance services address these expectations by translating recognised standards into practical, measurable outcomes.
