USE CASE

"We're regulated by APRA, DFSA, or a central bank."

CPS 234, CPS 230, ISO 27001 - and the cross-framework mapping that means work done for one counts toward the rest. Built for the compliance demands of regulated financial institutions.

The Challenge

Prudential compliance is not a single-framework problem

APRA-regulated entities don't choose one framework. They manage CPS 234, CPS 230, and CPS 232 simultaneously - plus ISO 27001 as the international baseline, and often Essential Eight for ASD alignment. Each framework has overlapping but not identical requirements. Without cross-mapping, that's five separate compliance programmes with significant duplication and no mechanism to capture the efficiency.

CPS 234 Deep Dive

The standard every APRA-regulated entity must meet

CPS 234 sets minimum information security requirements for APRA-regulated entities: banks, credit unions, insurers, superannuation funds. CyberHeed supports CPS 234 compliance end to end.

Asset classification and information security

SmartPrep conversations guide you through asset classification systematically. Documentation reflects your actual asset landscape, not a template. Evidence is AI-validated to confirm it satisfies the CPS 234 requirement, not just a related concept.

Incident management and APRA notification

CPS 234 requires notification to APRA within 72 hours of a material incident. CyberHeed ensures your Incident Response Plan is documented, current, and evidence-backed. AI feedback identifies gaps between documented capability and the standard's requirements before an incident occurs.

CPS 230 Cross-Mapping

CPS 230 + CPS 234: most of the work is shared

CPS 230 came into effect in July 2025 and overlaps substantially with CPS 234. Controls implemented for one count toward the other when cross-mapped correctly. CyberHeed handles the cross-mapping automatically.

Control mapping across CPS standards

CyberHeed maps controls across CPS 234, CPS 230, and CPS 232 simultaneously. Evidence validated for one automatically counts toward the relevant requirement in the others. Your team focuses on the genuinely new requirements, not on duplicating work.

Framework-level and aggregate posture

When your board asks "how are we doing on APRA compliance?", the answer reflects all CPS standards simultaneously, not a separate report for each.

Regulatory Reporting

Board-ready. Audit-ready. Regulator-ready.

Prudential regulators expect more than a status update. CyberHeed provides structured reporting backed by real data, not assembled from notes.

Board and management reporting

Board-level reports generated from live data: current posture, maturity trajectory, control coverage, outstanding gaps. The board fulfils its CPS 234 governance obligation with data to support it.

Maturity trajectory for supervisory engagement

APRA's approach is risk-based. Regulators want to see maturity improving, not just documentation on file. Trajectory data shows where you were, where you are, and the specific improvements made.

Network Effect

Your regulator is on the same platform.

Real-time visibility for supervisory engagement

Standardised assessments across the sector

Instant feedback, reduced regulatory burden

When you submit documentation as evidence for a prudential requirement, you receive immediate feedback. You know before any regulatory review whether your evidence satisfies the requirement. You remediate gaps before they become findings. The supervisory process becomes less adversarial and more collaborative.
