End-to-End RFFR Accreditation Program

1. Gap Review & Milestone Roadmap

We begin with a comprehensive gap review to understand your current security posture and determine the required  Right Fit For Risk (RFFR) Milestones (1, 2, and 3) based on your assigned Provider Category (1, 2A, or 2B). Using the results, we create a clear roadmap outlining the specific controls you need to adopt, drawing from ISO/IEC 27001, the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM), and any additional RFFR-specific requirements.

2. Risk Assessment & Risk Treatment Planning

We conduct a detailed risk assessment and develop a risk treatment plan aligned with both ISO 27001 and ISM control frameworks. This is tailored to your operating model, the sensitivity of the data you handle, and the DEWR contract scope applicable to your organisation. The process includes defining scope and boundaries, selecting controls, and documenting supporting evidence in an audit-ready format.

3. Statement of Applicability (SoA) & Control Justification

We prepare your Statement of Applicability (SoA) using the official RFFR-approved template. This covers all relevant ISO 27001 Annex A controls, ISM requirements, and other contractual security obligations. We assist in determining control applicability, providing clear justifications for inclusion or exclusion, and ensuring the documentation meets assessment and audit expectations.

4. Compliance Automation

All controls and documentation are implemented and managed directly within our Compliance Manager platform. Policies, registers, evidence and repositories are centrally maintained, providing a streamlined experience without the need for additional tools or complex onboarding.

5. Category-Aligned Requirements & Milestones

The accreditation approach is aligned to the organisation’s RFFR provider category. Category 1 providers, typically associated with higher risk environments or larger caseloads, are required to implement a fully established Information Security Management System (ISMS), obtain independent ISO 27001 certification, and maintain a comprehensive Statement of Applicability (SoA) aligned with both ISO 27001 and Information Security Manual (ISM) controls. Category 2A and 2B providers, which generally operate in lower risk environments or have a more limited scope, may be permitted to complete certain milestones through self-assessment. However, they are still required to conduct formal risk assessments, maintain SoA alignment, and ensure compliance with applicable ISM and ISO security requirements.

6. Milestone Delivery Support

We support organisations through each stage of the required RFFR milestones. Milestone 1 focuses on establishing organisational context, conducting maturity assessments, completing required questionnaires, reviewing the IT environment, and defining the accreditation scope. Milestone 2 involves developing the Statement of Applicability (SoA), designing security controls aligned with ISO 27001 and ISM requirements, and preparing the necessary documentation for certification or self-assessment. Milestone 3 includes full implementation of the required controls, demonstrating operational effectiveness through supporting evidence, submitting the required reports, and ensuring the organisation is prepared for audit and accreditation verification.

7. Ongoing Accreditation & Continuous Support

Achieving  Right Fit For Risk (RFFR) accreditation is not the end. Ongoing obligations include periodic surveillance or self-assessments (annually or every three years, depending on category), updates to the SoA following ISM revisions, and changes driven by business growth or new services. We continue to work alongside you to ensure your accreditation remains current, effective, and aligned with DEWR’s evolving security expectations.

Understanding Right Fit for Risk (RFFR) Provider Categorise

An organisation’s provider category determines the level of scrutiny applied during the assessment process. Low-risk providers are generally required to demonstrate basic governance structures, workforce background checks, and financial stability. Medium-risk providers must implement structured risk management frameworks and provide evidence of service quality and operational controls. High-risk providers are subject to more rigorous requirements, including comprehensive governance frameworks, well-maintained risk registers, strong financial sustainability, advanced security controls, and evidence of workforce capability. Cyber Forte assists organisations in identifying their appropriate category and preparing the necessary documentation to meet the applicable requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

RFFR is a government framework assessing whether organisations have appropriate governance, risk management, financial sustainability, and cyber security controls to deliver funded services safely.

All NDIS registered providers and DEWR-funded organisations are subject to RFFR assessment. The depth of assessment depends on provider category and service type.

Failure to demonstrate compliance may result in regulatory conditions, funding restrictions, sanctions, or deregistration. Early preparation significantly reduces this risk.

Preparation timelines vary depending on maturity. With Cyber Forte’s structured approach, many organisations achieve readiness within 6–10 weeks.
