ABOUT BLACKFLAG ADVISORY
See your business the way a threat actor does.
BlackFlag Advisory is a Sydney-based consulting firm specializing in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) services for Australian companies in complex regulatory environments. Our focus is on passive OSINT assessments, leveraging publicly available information to identify your organization’s external vulnerabilities, technology risks, credential leaks, email security weaknesses, and compliance with the Privacy Act, all without accessing any systems. Each project adheres to a structured five-phase framework, with results aligned to established standards such as the ASD Essential Eight, NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, and the Australian Privacy Principles. Our deliverables include a detailed risk register and an executive report for the Board, which translates technical risks into clear, actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders. Founded by Cluny Archibald, a Bachelor of Cyber Security graduate with over 20 years of experience in enterprise commercial settings, BlackFlag Advisory combines formal cybersecurity expertise with genuine business acumen, offering a unique depth in GRC services.

OUR STORY
BlackFlag Advisory specializes in evidence-based cyber security assessments utilizing only passive, publicly available data, ensuring no systems access or active scanning. Their approach uncovers an organization's external digital footprint—including domains, subdomains, exposed services, technology stacks, and potential vulnerabilities—offering insights that internal teams may overlook. They provide structured, five-phase assessments mapped to recognized frameworks like ASD Essential Eight and NIST CSF, delivering Board-level reports with clear, actionable findings. Focused on compliance with the Australian Privacy Act and other regulations, their services extend across Australia and the Asia-Pacific, covering complex regulated sectors such as financial services and healthcare. By translating technical risks into business language, BlackFlag Advisory empowers organizations to understand and mitigate external cyber exposures without intrusive testing, fostering informed governance and risk decisions.
