"Security isn't a destination or a checkbox you tick once a year. It's a continuous journey along a highly regulated highway where real, measurable trust is the only currency that matters."
As a Managing Cybersecurity Consultant at Cyberensic, Brian Kable brings a formidable 25-year track record in IT and information security to the frontline of the governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) landscape. Trusted by ASX 100 and Fortune 500 giants- predominantly across the high-stakes banking, finance, and insurance sectors- Brian's mission matches the core ethos of Cyberensic: shifting organizations away from superficial compliance and steering them toward hardened, risk-informed operations.
Moving Beyond the Checkbox: IRAP 2.0 and the New Standard
In an era where cyber threats evolve by the hour, static audit documents are no longer enough to protect critical infrastructure. Brian has always championed the idea that true security requires rigorous, independent execution.
This commitment to doing the work properly was recently highlighted by Brian’s successful completion of the updated ASD IRAP Assessor 2.0 framework alongside Cyberensic founder Ray Panta.
IRAP 2.0 intentionally raises the bar for cybersecurity across the Australian public and private sectors. It demands a sharper focus on assessor rigour, strict independence, and a modernized methodology. For Brian, this isn't just another certification to display- it is a core capability that directly empowers federal agencies and enterprises to accurately evaluate their security posture against the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM).
Bridging the Gap Between Policy and Practice
With a deep background that spans from hands-on systems integration to executive-level department leadership, Brian possesses a rare ability to translate complex regulatory frameworks into practical operational controls.
Whether guiding an organization through the intricacies of PCI DSS v4.0, aligning defenses with the Essential 8, or establishing compliance with ISO 27001, DISP, and RFFR, Brian’s approach focuses on embedding security into the actual fabric of an organization's people, processes, and technology.
A Matrix of Trusted Expertise
Brian’s holistic mastery across the IT and cybersecurity landscape ensures that clients don't just pass audits- they actively reduce their risk exposure:
- Governance & Compliance: PCI DSS (QSA v4.0), ISM & IRAP 2.0, ISO 27001, Essential 8, and strict Privacy guidelines.

- Strategic IT Operations: Master-level ITIL framework alignment, Service Level Agreement (SLA) management, and seamless business-to-IT engagement.
