What is Secure AI Consulting?

Secure AI Consulting helps businesses navigate AI adoption safely. Atomic Cyber assesses your current AI usage (including shadow AI), identifies risks across your supply chain, and builds governance frameworks so you can move fast without creating new liabilities. This includes AI policy development, LLM security reviews, and data risk assessments.

What is ISO 42001 and why does my business need it?

ISO 42001:2023 is the international standard for AI management systems (AIMS). It provides a framework for responsible AI governance — covering risk management, bias and fairness, human oversight, transparency, and accountability. Atomic Cyber helps Australian businesses achieve ISO 42001 readiness through gap analysis, controls implementation, and certification preparation.

What is a NIST Cybersecurity Assessment?

A NIST Cybersecurity Assessment benchmarks your organisation's security posture against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. Atomic Cyber evaluates your capabilities across all six functions — Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover — providing maturity scoring, gap analysis, and a prioritised remediation roadmap.

What is an AI Risk Assessment?

An AI Risk Assessment evaluates the risks associated with your organisation's use of AI systems — whether third-party tools like ChatGPT and Copilot, or in-house models. Atomic Cyber identifies exposure to data leakage, bias, hallucination, supply chain vulnerabilities, and regulatory non-compliance, then provides a prioritised treatment plan.

What is a Tabletop Exercise in cybersecurity?

A tabletop exercise is a facilitated, scenario-based simulation that stress-tests your organisation's incident response capabilities. Atomic Cyber designs realistic scenarios (ransomware, data breach, AI-related incidents), facilitates the session with your leadership team, and produces a structured after-action report with identified gaps and recommendations.

What makes Atomic Cyber different from other cybersecurity consultants?

Atomic Cyber is fully independent — no vendor relationships, no products to sell, no managed services. Every engagement is senior-led by practitioners, not junior consultants learning on your dime. We lead with AI security (where the market is heading) and back it up with deep traditional cyber expertise. We're competitively priced, Melbourne-based, and focused exclusively on Australian businesses.

Does Atomic Cyber offer AI Literacy training?

Yes. Atomic Cyber's AI Literacy service helps teams and executives cut through the hype and fear around AI. We simplify complex concepts, address common misconceptions, and paint a realistic picture of what AI can and can't do for your business. Available as workshops, executive briefings, or board-level presentations.

What Australian regulations apply to AI and cybersecurity?

Australian businesses using AI must consider the Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme, the Australian AI Safety Standard 2024 (voluntary but increasingly referenced), Anti-Discrimination legislation for AI decision-making, APRA CPS 234 for regulated financial entities, and AUSTRAC obligations for reporting entities. Atomic Cyber builds these regulatory requirements into every engagement.

Apr 2026 AI Governance

Running AI Without Governance Isn't Innovation. It's Debt.

The security bill for Australia's AI pilot obsession is coming. $142 billion in projected value — but who's pricing the risk? Shadow AI, ungoverned agents, and the retrofitting problem nobody wants to talk about.
