GRC without the complexity
About Us
Most organisations don't have a shortage of ambition when it comes to technology. What they often lack is someone who can tell them honestly what it means for their risk profile, their obligations, and their day-to-day operations.
That's the gap this practice was built to fill.
CyberWorqs is an independent GRC consultancy specialising in cyber and AI risk, governance, and regulatory compliance. We work with organisations of all sizes, from small businesses navigating compliance for the first time to corporates managing complex, multi-layered risk programmes. Regardless of size, our approach is the same: clear, practical guidance without the jargon or the complexity that often passes for expertise.
We don't make GRC harder than it needs to be. Our job is to simplify it.
What We Do
We help organisations understand and manage risk across three areas that are increasingly connected: cyber security governance, AI adoption, and regulatory compliance.
We are not a technical firm. We don't sell technology, implement systems, or write code. What we do is sit between the technical world and the business world, translating what's happening in both directions. When your IT team or a vendor explains a risk or a solution, we help you understand what it actually means for your business. When you need to explain your risk position to a board, a regulator, or an insurer, we help you do that clearly and confidently.
In practice that means building frameworks that are proportionate and genuinely useful, not just compliant on paper. It means helping boards ask the right questions about AI investment and cyber exposure. It means turning APRA, ISO 27001, SOCI, and emerging AI standards into policies and controls that people across your business can actually follow and understand.
How We Work
Engagements are kept deliberately focused. You work directly with a senior adviser throughout, not passed down a chain of analysts or account managers. Work is scoped clearly, delivered in plain language, and designed to leave your organisation in a stronger position after the engagement ends.
Where engagements require technical input, we work alongside your internal technology teams or bring in our own technical specialists. That collaboration is deliberate. Good governance frameworks don't sit beside technology, they need to be aligned with how your technology actually operates. We make sure your technical controls reflect your risk appetite and risk management objectives, so that what your technology does and what your governance says are telling the same story.
Clients typically come to us at one of three moments: when a board or regulator has asked a question they can't confidently answer, when an AI or technology initiative has moved faster than governance has, or when they want to build a risk programme properly from the start rather than retrofit it later.
If any of those sound familiar, it's worth a conversation.
Where it Started
Founder, Cindy Lau, spent more than 20 years in the insurance industry, advising boards across all industries on their risk exposures, governance obligations, and the liability implications of the decisions they were making. That work meant being across how organisations govern and manage risk at every level, understanding not just what coverage they needed, but whether their underlying risk practices and governance frameworks would actually hold up when tested. Over time that built a deep, cross-industry understanding of how organisations identify, assess, and respond to risk, and where the gaps tend to appear.
What became increasingly apparent was that cyber risk was emerging as one of the most significant operational risks facing organisations, yet most boards weren't grasping it as such. The conversation was happening in technical language, between IT teams and executives who didn't share a common frame of reference, and the risk wasn't landing at board level the way it needed to. That became the opportunity. By bridging the gap between technical teams and boards, translating cyber and AI risk into the language of business risk, governance, and liability that directors already understood, it was possible to have conversations that actually moved the needle. That's still the work. Helping organisations understand their exposure clearly, without the jargon, so they can make informed decisions and govern confidently.
