GRACE Framework

Need cyber policies that actually work?

Most organisations either have no cybersecurity policies, or have dusty documents that nobody reads. We build living policy suites — tailored to your industry, mapped to the frameworks your regulators expect, and maintained as regulations evolve.

Why policies fail — and how ours don’t

Generic policy templates downloaded from the internet fail for three reasons: they’re not mapped to Australian regulations, they’re not tailored to your industry, and nobody owns them after day one. Our approach is different. Every policy is built against the specific frameworks your board and regulators expect — APRA CPS 234, Essential Eight, the Privacy Act, SOCI Act — and mapped to your operating reality. Then we automate the lifecycle: versioning, staff acknowledgement tracking, annual reviews, and board reporting.

From blank page to board-ready in weeks

We start with a gap assessment against your regulatory obligations, then deliver a prioritised policy suite — typically 50+ documents — customised to your size, industry, and risk appetite. Each policy includes implementation guidance, not just the “what” but the “how”. Our GRACE Portal then manages the ongoing lifecycle, so policies stay current as regulations change.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a full policy suite take to deliver?+
Typically 4–6 weeks from gap assessment to board-ready delivery. Urgent engagements (e.g. pre-audit) can be fast-tracked to 2–3 weeks.
Do you tailor policies to specific industries?+
Yes. We maintain industry-specific templates for financial services (APRA-regulated), healthcare, government, education, critical infrastructure, and professional services.
How do policies stay current after delivery?+
Our GRACE Portal automates version control, annual review reminders, regulatory change alerts, and staff acknowledgement tracking. You’re never stuck with a static document.
Can you map policies to multiple frameworks simultaneously?+
Absolutely. Paradigm’s universal framework mapping handles 15+ standards (APRA CPS 234, Essential Eight, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOX, PCI DSS, and more) from a single control set.
