Atturra teams with MyCISO on managed security services

Technology services provider Atturra has announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with SaaS start-up MyCISO to launch a managed security program service targeted at the education and commercial sectors.

Under the agreement, Atturra will deploy the MyCISO platform Assess module to underpin its managed security service offering, which is designed to provide organisations with a strategic cybersecurity roadmap coupled with ongoing management support. The tie-up will help clients choose the right framework and compile a data-driven risk assessment based on factors including control maturity.

Atturra Managed Services GM for Connect and Secure Osh Ranwaweera said the company selected MyCISO as a partner based on a thorough market evaluation.

“Our clients are looking to uplift their security posture aligned to a robust security framework. Understanding the requirements of different frameworks can be complicated to manage,” he said. “MyCISO combined with our expert team enables the development and execution of a comprehensive cyber strategy ordinarily reserved for larger enterprises.”

MyCISO CEO Dane Meah said the partnership will enable both companies to deliver greater value to the education and mid-market commercial sectors.

“Having the ability to identify cyber risks and align cyber uplifts to standards and frameworks such as ISO27001, NIST CSF and the ACSC Essential Eight is a key concern for IT and security teams in Australia, and the world over,” he said. “When MyCISO was launched, the goal was to empower all businesses with an easier way to develop and manage their cyber uplift.

“Today, the country continues to face growing skills shortages both within businesses and the education sector, hampering efforts to fulfil Australia’s ambition to be the global leader in cybersecurity by 2030.”
