GreenCyber · Free resources · Brisbane, Australia
Most organisations do not have a security problem. They have a translation problem.
The technical people know what is wrong. The board knows it is accountable. Between the two sits a gap where risk goes to be misunderstood. These five resources are written to close it, and each one is a real piece of work rather than a sample of one.
No call required. Nothing here is gated behind a discovery conversation. Take it, and never speak to us if you do not need to.
Five ways to find out where you actually stand.
Each one maps to something we do for clients, and each one is given away in full rather than trimmed to a teaser. That is deliberate. An organisation that can see its own position clearly is an organisation that makes a better decision about whether it needs us at all.
You cannot defend what nobody has written down.
We build the list of what your organisation exposes to the internet, using only what is already public. No agent, no access, no questionnaire, and nothing touches your systems.
Read it → 02 Ransomware and incident readinessThe worst time to write the plan is the morning you need it.
Ten questions about what would actually happen. Not whether you have a document, but whether anybody has run it.
Read it → 03 AI governance and policyYour people did not wait for the policy.
An acceptable use policy written from the tasks people really have, a board position paper, and a staff sign off that means something.
Read it →What we will not do is the part worth reading.
Anyone can list capabilities. Almost nobody writes down what they refuse, so here is the list, and it is the same list a client gets.
We sell no product and resell nothing
No margin from any vendor. The recommendation is the one Adam would make if nobody stood to benefit, and if a commercial relationship sits anywhere near the work you are told in writing before it starts.
We do not sell on fear
The threat is real enough without decoration. A frightened organisation buys tools instead of building capability, which is worse than doing nothing slowly.
We do not make you dependent on us
Every engagement ends with your own people able to run what was built. An advisor you cannot get rid of is not an advisor.
We turn down work we are not right for
There are people better than Adam at several things. He will tell you who they are, which costs us an engagement and saves you a year.
Adam Green
Founder and Chief Information Security Officer of GreenCyber, a Brisbane consultancy serving Australia and Asia Pacific. More than twenty years in technology and security, in leadership throughout. Response led through more than twenty live incidents and ransomware attacks, including sitting with chief executives at two in the morning during breach recovery and writing the paper the board read the following week. Two national advisory appointments.
Before GreenCyber, security leadership roles at Cryptoloc, Nexon Asia Pacific, NTT DATA, C5 Technology and Honeywell, across banking, aviation, government, healthcare, energy and mining. Industrial and operational technology security runs through all of it, which is the part most IT side advisors go quiet about.
The currency exchange is unfairly tilted in my favour, where I walk away learning more than I taught.

If you would rather just talk
Start with a conversation, not a proposal.
Tell us what is worrying you. We will play back what we heard so you can correct it, give you one clear recommendation with the reasoning behind it, and say plainly if we are not the right people for it.
The five offers. Cybersecurity strategy and roadmap. Ransomware and incident readiness. Frameworks and compliance. AI governance and policy. Insider risk and due diligence. Where an engagement matures it becomes a Virtual CISO retainer, which is the relationship rather than the marquee. IoT and industrial security is not a sixth offer, it runs through all five.
