ABOUT BLACKFLAG ADVISORYSee 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.
