Infotrust co-founder Dane Meah has joined the many Australian channel partners to spin out intellectual property developed internally to pursue global ambitions, with the launch of MyCISO.
MyCISO is a software-as-a-service offering targeted to end customers and managed service providers to uplift their security across a range of controls aligned to a full security framework like ISO 27001. The platform looks to “SaaS-ify” security consultants, which have become more costly and less accessible.
“MyCISO enables an MSP, or what we call a provider, to deliver security as a service by performing a maturity assessment for themselves and to develop a security improvement plan afterwards,” Meah told CRN.
“The traditional model is really just sending a security consultant - sending in a man with a clipboard, asking a bunch of questions and sending in a report afterwards, which can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $30,000 to up to $50,000 to $100,000 to get a really detailed improvement plan and strategy for business.”

Once reserved for large enterprises and highly regulated industries, security consultants emerged as a way to help businesses identify weak spots in their cybersecurity posture.
Meah said Infotrust developed an online self-assessment tool called Ransomware Readiness Assessment to break down the ransomware attack chain and assess weak spots in preventing a ransomware attack.
