Career Achievements

Part of a great team (Cyber Security / Information Security Manual Advisory) which contributed towards the Ravenhall Prison Project Winning Australia’s Best Infrastructure Project 2018.

“It is exciting to see the Ravenhall Prison Project win the Project of the Year Award as it is the first privately delivered prison project Victoria has seen in about 20 years – delivered on-budget and on-time,” said IPA Chief Executive Adrian Dwyer.

The cyber security advisory and implementation role included the delivery of networks accredited to a PROTECTED classification under the ISM; a first for any Australian Prison.
Our team engaged with all key stakeholders to develop technical and operational strategies that would deliver a ‘cyber ready’ facility. The strategies were then employed by JHG designers and GEO to mitigate cyber security risk, throughout the project.Continually on time and on budget.
