Cyber security risks for mining services companies
Your client’s security rules now include you.
Supply-chain attacks mean miners treat every contractor as a possible way in. Supplier security questionnaires, Essential Eight maturity targets and cyber insurance requirements now decide who wins and keeps contracts.
-
Failed supplier assessments
A “no” on multi-factor authentication (MFA), patching or backups can hold up onboarding or renewal. We fix the gaps and document them.
-
Remote and FIFO access
Shared camp devices, public Wi-Fi and personal phones. We make remote access secure without making it painful.
-
Ransomware and reporting
If a ransom is paid, businesses with turnover over $3 million must report it to the Department of Home Affairs within 72 hours. Your client will expect to hear from you first.
