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.
The Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 (SOCI Act) is Australia’s legislative framework for protecting critical infrastructure assets that are essential to the nation’s security, economy, and social wellbeing. The SOCI Act establishes a framework for managing cyber security, operational resilience, and risk across critical infrastructure sectors. For organisations subject to the SOCI Act, compliance goes beyond implementing technical security controls — it requires integrating governance, risk management, incident response, and resilience practices into existing business operations while implementing controls such as continuous monitoring, threat management, and Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Programs (CIRMP) to strengthen and protect critical services against evolving cyber and physical threats.
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.
