Cybersecurity compliance, kept simple.
Helping businesses meet Essential 8 and regulatory obligations with practical governance and ongoing support, without big-consultancy overhead.
Security-first. Designed for ongoing compliance, not one-off projects.
The Compliance Problem
Most organisations don't fail compliance because of technology.
"Ongoing ownership and governance — not just assessments."
Controls drift over time
Security controls that were effective at implementation gradually erode. Without active monitoring and ownership, gaps widen unnoticed.
No one owns it
Compliance responsibility falls between IT support, management, and external vendors. Without a dedicated owner, nothing gets done.
Leadership lacks visibility
Boards and executives can't make informed risk decisions without clear, translated reporting on their actual security posture.
Already have IT support? Cohero provides the independent security oversight and compliance governance that sits above it — ensuring your controls are actively maintained, owned, and reported on.
What We Do
Ongoing ownership and governance — not just assessments.
Unlike one-off consulting engagements, Cohero provides continuous security oversight that evolves with your organisation's risk profile.

Our Approach
Understand your current risk and compliance position, with a clear, prioritised roadmap.
Four service tiers that can be engaged individually or as a comprehensive program, depending on your organisation's maturity and risk profile.
"Built for organisations that need ongoing compliance, clear oversight, and confidence that their controls are working."
Assessment + Roadmap
Comprehensive security posture evaluation against Essential Eight, NIST, and PCI-DSS. You receive a detailed roadmap with prioritised remediation activities and investment analysis — a clear picture of where you stand and what to do next.
Governance & Reporting
Continuous compliance monitoring with quarterly evidence collection, board-level reporting, and active risk management. Your security posture is maintained, not just measured once and forgotten.
Assurance
Independent assurance activities, technical validation, and proactive security program management for organisations with higher risk profiles or regulatory scrutiny. The highest level of ongoing oversight.
Remediation
Hands-on implementation support delivered in focused 2–4 week sprints to accelerate compliance achievement and close identified security gaps. We don't just identify problems — we help fix them.
