Industry Focus: Mining & Critical Infrastructure
Sikret Consultancy was founded to address the unique and demanding security challenges of Australia's mining and critical infrastructure sectors. We understand the operational realities, regulatory pressures and high stakes involved. Deep specialised knowledge and experience in these environments allows us to effectively integrate at every level of your organisation to better understand business priorities.
The Mining Sector: A Unique Risk Environment
The Australian mining industry is a primary target for sophisticated threat actors. The increasing reliance on connected Operational Technology (OT)—from autonomous haulage systems to remote processing plants—creates a vast and attractive attack surface.
We help you address the sector's key challenges:
IT/OT Convergence
Mitigate or lower the impact of threats which would halt production, damage the brand, and take significant investment to overcome.
Regulatory Pressures and Obligations
Plan and program regulatory obligations, reducing the risk of non-compliance.
Investor Assurance
Demonstrating robust security due diligence and risk management where senior leadership are actively engaged through highly competent security professionals acting in the role of Chief Security Officer assures investors and other key stakeholders.
Supply Chain Risk
Securing your operations from vulnerabilities introduced by third-party vendors and partners.
Tailored for senior leadership and other key stakeholders. Operating in highly competitive markets often leads to security being managed operationally, without the strategic overview needed in the world today where the impact of ever-increasing and evolving security threats can lead to the unrecoverable failure of a business.
Sikret acts as a strategic security advisor to the board and other key stakeholders, elevating the internal security competence and effectiveness, and providing the expertise needed to build the necessary security program.
