APRA CPS 234 and CPS 230 aligned cybersecurity for banks, insurers, superannuation funds and RSE licensees.

Board-ready cyber security for APRA-regulated entities.

APRA-regulated entities operate under some of the most explicit cyber obligations in the Australian economy. Vectra covers the full lifecycle: CPS 234 assessment, CPS 230 operational resilience testing, red-team simulation of retail-banking fraud, and 24/7 managed detection with regulator-ready evidence. Our team includes former CBA, NAB and ME Bank security engineers, and our platform is IRAP-assessed. Our reporting is board-ready from day one.

Tri-party attestations

Cyber threats hitting banks, insurers and super funds.

Real-time payment fraud

PayID, NPP and mule-network abuse blending social engineering, SIM-swap and credential stuffing in minutes, not days.

Third-party and SaaS risk

Core-banking, KYC and credit-bureau integrations creating lateral paths that fall within CPS 234 accountability.

Ransomware on ops platforms

Double-extortion actors targeting clearing, settlement and policy-admin systems during operational-resilience windows.

Insider privilege abuse

Over-privileged core-banking service accounts and shared admin credentials still common in legacy estates.

Virtual CISO

Fractional CISO support for boards and accountable persons.

Financial cyber security outcomes boards can evidence to APRA.

  • CPS 234 evidence packs ready for tri-annual APRA tripartite review

  • CPS 230 scenario testing with documented recovery-time objectives across critical operations

  • PCI DSS attestation across merchant, service-provider and issuer estates

  • Regulator-ready incident reporting within APRA 72-hour notification windows

  • Executive metrics framed for the Board Risk Committee, not the SOC

Questions finance customers ask first.

How do you align detection with CPS 234 notification?

Our playbooks trigger named-analyst escalation inside the APRA 72-hour notification window, and we pre-draft the notification artefact so the Accountable Person can approve rather than compose.

Can you test against CPS 230 scenarios?

Yes. We design and execute scenario tests against your documented critical operations, measuring recovery-time objectives and documenting tolerance-for-disruption evidence.

Do you service mutual ADIs and smaller insurers?

Yes. Our shared-service managed offerings are designed for mid-market ADIs, super funds and insurers where a dedicated 24/7 SOC is not economic in-house.

Can you work within our change-freeze windows?

Every engagement is scheduled around your release calendar, EOFY and reporting blackouts. Assurance work can be delivered in read-only modes during code freeze.
