Building a platform that makes cyber security assurance simple

Assuredly is a cyber security assurance platform that helps businesses and their advisors assess their security against Australian and international standards.

Frameworks like ISO 27001 and the Essential Eight are written for auditors. Most businesses know they need to meet a standard but struggle to act on it, and many still rely on spreadsheets or expensive consultants. Advisors face the same problem at scale, with manual processes that make results hard to keep consistent.

Assuredly needed a platform that turns complex frameworks into clear, guided assessments any business can complete, and that advisors can use to deliver consistent, high-quality work for their clients.

Upgrowth designed and built the Assuredly platform, a cloud-based product that guides users through each control, scores their maturity and turns the results into action plans, risk registers and reports.

What we did

A guided assessment platform for businesses and their advisors

We designed the platform so people without specialist security skills can see where they stand and what to do next, while advisors get the depth and flexibility to deliver assessments at scale.

Step-by-step assessments against the standards that matter

Users choose from assessments including ISO 27001, the Essential Eight, SOC 2, NIST CSF, SMB1001 and the OAIC's privacy reasonable steps. Every question links to a help guide that explains the control, how to test it and the evidence an auditor will look for, with more than 250 guides across the platform.

Instant insights, action plans and risk registers

As users answer, the platform scores their maturity by practice area and standard, then generates an action plan and risk register automatically. Dashboards show the overall picture at a glance, and advisors can open supplier and client accounts from the same place.

Reports for every stakeholder

A dozen report templates create detailed reports in under a minute. The report editor lets users build their own reports from a single assessment, save them as templates and export them to Word, which matters for advisors delivering work to clients. More than 40 tools and templates help businesses write the policies and processes their security programs need.

Outcome

Security assurance that's within reach for businesses of any size.

Assuredly reduces the workload of assurance activities by 80%, so businesses can understand their risks and act on them without specialist skills or a large budget.

Since launch, the platform has grown with new and updated assessments, including SMB1001, Australia's first online self-certification for businesses, delivered with CSCAU and CyberCert. Businesses now have a credible way to prove to clients they can be trusted, and advisors have a tool they can grow their services with.
