A senior-led cybersecurity consulting practice for enterprises that cannot afford to be breached. Strategy, architecture, and operating models grounded in the frameworks your regulators and boards expect.
Mantilam is an Australian cybersecurity consulting practice. We work with boards, CISOs, and delivery teams to translate cyber risk into deliberate, measurable action — across strategy, architecture, identity, cloud, operations, and resilience.
Our engagements are grounded in the frameworks that matter to regulated industries — NIST CSF, ISO 27001, Essential Eight, APRA CPS 234, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 — delivered by senior practitioners with 15+ years of enterprise and regulated-industry experience.
No theatre. No fear-mongering. Just clarity on what to protect, why it matters, and how to make it real — at a pace and scale your business can absorb.
Our services span the enterprise security lifecycle — strategy through operations, governance through controls. Each pillar is delivered by senior specialists and can be engaged standalone or composed into a programme.
Shaping security vision, target operating models, and governance frameworks — translating risk into board-ready multi-year transformation roadmaps aligned to business and regulatory priorities.
Maturity assessments and audit readiness against NIST CSF, ISO 27001, Essential Eight, APRA CPS 234, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 — with complete evidence packs, remediation plans, and regulator-tested documentation.
Zero Trust architecture, cloud security posture (AWS, Azure, GCP), network segmentation, container and Kubernetes security, and workload-aware controls across hybrid estates.
SOC design and uplift, SIEM/SOAR tooling selection and tuning, managed detection & response partnerships, threat intelligence integration, and incident response retainers with measurable SLAs.
AppSec programmes, DevSecOps integration, API security, data classification and protection, privacy engineering, and third-party / supply-chain risk management for software-intensive enterprises.
Virtual CISO engagements, cyber resilience programmes, crisis simulations and tabletop exercises, BCP/DR integration — executive-grade leadership and advisory at the seniority the role demands.
Zero Trust identity architecture, privileged access management (PAM), identity governance & administration (IGA), MFA and passwordless rollouts, federation and SSO programmes, joiner-mover-leaver automation.
Deep expertise, senior delivery, and framework fluency — built for enterprises where security maturity is measured by regulators, boards, and customers alike.
Grounded in NIST CSF, ISO 27001, Essential Eight, APRA CPS 234, and PCI-DSS. Your security maturity is demonstrable to regulators, auditors, and customers using the language they already speak.
No junior-led delivery, no inflated teams. Every engagement is led by a practitioner with 15+ years of enterprise security experience and direct exposure to regulated-industry programmes.
Every engagement begins with a decision to be made. We measure success by the clarity of the findings and the actionability of the roadmap — not by the length of the report or the hours booked against it.
Controls proportionate to risk, roadmaps proportionate to capacity. We meet organisations where they are and take them where they need to be — without breaking what already works.
Based in Australia with deep familiarity with APRA, OAIC, and Essential Eight expectations — and equally comfortable with NIST, GDPR, and global frameworks for multinational clients.
Illustrative engagements drawn from recent client work, anonymised in line with standard consulting confidentiality practice.
Led the redesign of enterprise identity architecture across retail, business, and wholesale banking channels for a major Australian bank. Shaped the target-state security strategy, defined the identity operating model across workforce and consumer identity domains, and delivered a multi-year transformation roadmap aligned to APRA CPS 234 expectations and internal risk appetite.
Designed and delivered a federated identity and Zero Trust access programme across a large Australian Group of Eight university — spanning staff, researchers, and student populations. Modernised authentication, implemented conditional access controls, and aligned the identity programme to research-data protection obligations and sector privacy requirements.
Regulated, operational, customer-facing — we've worked across environments where a security failure is a material business event, not an inconvenience.
Our assessments and roadmaps are anchored in the frameworks that matter to your industry and jurisdiction — the shared language by which security maturity is demonstrated to boards, regulators, and customers.
Whether you need a named accountable leader, a focused assessment, or an ongoing advisory partner — we scale engagement to your programme maturity and operating tempo.
End-to-end ownership of a cybersecurity transformation — from strategy and architecture through operating-model build-out and benefits realisation. Ideal for multi-year programmes with defined outcomes, accountability from day one, and senior practitioners embedded throughout.
Executive-level cyber leadership without the full-time commitment. Board-ready reporting, governance design, regulator engagement, and strategic direction — on a fixed-day-per-month or fractional basis, at the seniority boards and regulators expect.
Targeted assessments, architecture reviews, audit readiness, second opinions, or ongoing retainers for regular advisory input. Scoped to the decision you need to inform — priced to the value it creates, not the hours it takes.
Briefings, scoping calls, second opinions, or just an exploratory conversation — we reply to every enquiry within one business day.
