Australian IT company ADITS has launched Advanta Advisory, a specialist Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and Digital Transformation practice within the ADITS Group.
Based out of Salisbury in Queensland, Advanta Advisory is comprised of four key pillars, the first being cybersecurity - covering practical uplift and resilience across people, process, and technology.
Privacy - providing structured alignment with the Australian Privacy Principle 11 (security of personal information) through evidence based maturity assessments and ongoing remediation support - is the second pillar.
Data governance, providing clear oversight of how data is accessed, handled, and protected across the organisation, along with AI governance and enablement, helping organisations adopt generative AI responsibly, with clear guardrails, risk frameworks, and alignment to legal and ethical standards, are the third and fourth pillars respectively.
"While we’ve been delivering governance, privacy, and risk related uplift through ADITS for some time, establishing Advanta Advisory allows us to sharpen our focus on strategic GRC leadership while still working alongside the broader ADITS team to deliver technical execution, support, and integration," Adam Cliffe, Advanta Advisory's director of GRC and ADITS' MD for south-east QLD, told techpartner.news.
"More than ever, we’re seeing privacy and cybersecurity shift from a compliance issue to a trust and reputation issue. It’s not just regulators driving this, it’s also the community. Research shows that nearly half of Australians would stop using a service after a data breach. That kind of reputational risk is just as critical as any legal exposure.
"This isn’t about compliance for the sake of it. It’s about doing what’s right, building trust, demonstrating accountability and preparing organisations for the expectations of today and the scrutiny of tomorrow."
