Security consulting
Cyber security and assurance consulting
Understand security risk, assess controls and create an evidence-based path to stronger assurance across technology, cloud and organisational change.
Turn security requirements into a practical programme
We help organisations understand where material security risk sits, how current controls perform and what should happen next. Recommendations are tied to the operating environment, business priorities and evidence available.
Assessment and assurance
- Security gap, risk and maturity assessments
- Control design, evidence mapping and remediation planning
- Cloud security architecture and accreditation support for Azure and AWS
- Security input into integrated risk management and transformation programmes
- Executive and governance reporting that makes decisions and ownership clear
Framework-aligned, not certification claims
Engagements can use relevant parts of NIST guidance, ISO/IEC 27001, the New Zealand Information Security Manual and SOC 2 readiness criteria. Hot Desk does not present itself as a certification body. Where an engagement requires specialist assurance or lead-auditor capability, suitably qualified associates can be included in the agreed team.
A connected view of security risk
Security rarely stands alone. Our work can connect cyber risk to enterprise risk, third parties, compliance obligations, project governance, architecture and the remediation work required to create measurable progress.
