Achieve end-to-end Security of Critical Infrastructure Act (SOCI Act) compliance efficiently and confidently with Cyber Forte. We help organizations operating critical infrastructure assets meet their legal obligations under the SOCI Act 2018, including Positive Security Obligations (PSO), CIRMP implementation, and cyber security uplift aligned with recognised frameworks.
At Cyber Forte, we specialise in SOCI Act gap assessments, CIRMP design, cyber security uplift, and regulatory readiness for critical infrastructure operators across Australia.
Our consultants combine deep expertise in cybersecurity, risk management, compliance, and critical infrastructure protection, helping organisations meet both the letter and intent of the SOCI Act.
Backed by decades of experience in cybersecurity, governance, and regulatory compliance, our team translates SOCI Act requirements into clear, practical, and auditable controls.
We align SOCI compliance with recognised cyber security frameworks such as AESCSF, NIST, ISO/IEC 27001, and Essential Eight, ensuring defensible and future-proof compliance.
SOCI compliance is not one-size-fits-all. We design CIRMPs and security programs aligned to your asset class, sector risks, and operational environment.
From asset identification and registration to CIRMP development, cyber uplift, reporting, and audit readiness—we manage the full SOCI compliance lifecycle.
Our structured engagement model enables organisations to meet mandatory SOCI deadlines efficiently without disrupting operations.
We offer clear scopes, defined milestones, and predictable pricing with no hidden costs.
