Case Study: How a Consumer Goods Leader Strengthened Cybersecurity and Reduced Risk
As cyber threats continue to evolve, organisations face increasing risks to their operations, reputation, and customer trust.
For a leading WA consumer goods company, growing cyber threats in operational technology, sophisticated malware, and data breaches demanded a proactive approach.
Calibre Consulting was engaged to develop a tailored cybersecurity strategy that not only protected critical assets but also ensured compliance with regulatory standards.
The Challenge: Escalating Cybersecurity Risks and Compliance Pressures
Multiple cybersecurity risks with potential for significant impact on operations and reputation:
Rising Regulatory Compliance Requirements: Increased scrutiny on data protection practices demanded stronger cybersecurity measures.
Gaps in Vulnerability Management: Limited understanding of vulnerabilities made it difficult to prioritise mitigation efforts.
Lack of a Clear Cybersecurity Direction: Without a strategic framework, security investments were reactive and misaligned.
Insufficient Preparedness: Existing protocols lacked the depth needed to handle advanced threats, including detection, incident response, and employee training.
Our Approach: Cybersecurity, prioritised on critical and high risk reduction
Comprehensive Risk Assessment: Conducted an in depth evaluation of vulnerabilities across IT and Operational Technology (OT) systems. Analysed existing processes, systems, and compliance gaps to identify highest risk areas. Reviewed current security tools, processes, and user practices to uncover weaknesses.
Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborated closely with senior leadership and IT teams to ensure the strategy addressed operational priorities and compliance obligations. Facilitated workshops to align the cybersecurity roadmap with business objectives.
Tailored Cybersecurity Strategy: Developed a cybersecurity strategy focused on risk reduction, whilst enabling new security capabilities.
The Results: A Resilient Cybersecurity Posture
Proactive Threat Detection: Enhanced monitoring and incident response capabilities reduced exposure to malware, phishing, and data breaches.
Regulatory Compliance: Aligned security practices with industry standards, minimising compliance risks.
Employee Security Awareness: Improved staff understanding of cybersecurity best practices, reducing human error.
Strategic Security Investments: Prioritised high impact initiatives, optimising resource allocation.
