Case Studies

Selected engagements and outcomes

Banking · Cyber Transformation

Zero Trust and security architecture for a major core banking modernisation

Role: Architecture lead · Scope: $1.5B+ program

Defined the security and Zero Trust architecture for a multi-year core banking transformation. Guided design decisions across channels, middleware and infrastructure, and established a repeatable security architecture approach later re-used globally.

Critical Infrastructure · OT/IT

OT/IT convergence strategy for a critical infrastructure operator

Role: Enterprise security architect · Sector: Transport & infrastructure

Developed an OT/IT convergence strategy covering control systems, field networks and enterprise platforms. Delivered a prioritised roadmap, risk model and architecture patterns that balanced safety, availability and regulatory obligations.

Cyber Strategy · Board Advisory

Enterprise cyber strategy for a diversified ASX group

Role: Strategy & architecture lead · Scope: multi-business portfolio

Led the development of a board-aligned cyber strategy and roadmap. Connected investment decisions to clearly articulated business risks, and established an architecture-centred approach to prioritising controls and program sequencing.

M&A Technology

Technology and cyber due diligence for acquisition decisions

Role: Senior advisor · Scope: multi-jurisdictional acquisition

Performed technology and cyber due diligence for a proposed acquisition, assessing integration risk, architectural complexity and control gaps. Produced a board-level view of risk, remediation options and integration cost to inform the investment decision.

Why Digital & Cyber Strategies

Independent, multi-domain leadership for high-consequence decisions

1

Multi-disciplinary, not siloed

Enterprise architecture, AI, cyber, OT/IT and M&A viewed as one system, not separate disciplines. This enables decisions that hold under real-world complexity.

2

Executive-level communication

Deep technical insight translated into board-level clarity. The focus is on risk, value, options and trade-offs – not vendor features.

3

Independent & vendor-neutral

Advice is independent of products, platforms and implementation partners. That independence is what enables honest assessment and credible challenge.
