QUESTIONS
FAQ
Is this a replacement for our CISO or external cyber counsel?
No. FORTE/CYBERx accelerates the board's decision cycle. The CISO still owns execution; external counsel still owns legal interpretation. The platform produces the structured options and BLUF the board needs to act.
How does it support the s180 director-duty test?
Every mission captures the question asked, the options considered, the assumptions made and the framework anchors used — the evidentiary trail a court considers when assessing whether directors exercised the care and diligence a reasonable person in their position would.
Will it cite Australian frameworks specifically?
Yes — AICD Cyber Governance Principles 2024, APRA CPS 230, SOCI Act, Privacy Act Tranche 2 reform, the Cyber Security Act 2024 and ISO 27001:2022 are first-class citations across the advisor council.
