Banking & Finance
APRA CPS 234 and CPS 230 aligned cybersecurity for banks, insurers, superannuation funds and RSE licensees.
Board-defensible assurance for APRA-regulated entities.
APRA-regulated entities operate under some of the most explicit cyber obligations in the Australian economy. Vectra provides the full lifecycle - CPS 234 assessment, CPS 230 operational resilience testing, red-team simulation of retail-banking fraud, and 24/7 managed detection with regulator-ready evidence. Our people include former CBA, NAB and ME Bank security engineers; our platform is IRAP-assessed and our reporting is board-defensible out of the box.

Threat landscape
The threats APRA-regulated entities actually face.
Drawn from Vectra Labs research, our SOC telemetry and sector-specific intelligence from the Ensign global SOC footprint. These are the vectors we tune detections and playbooks around.
Third-party and SaaS risk
Core-banking, KYC and credit-bureau integrations creating lateral paths that fall within CPS 234 accountability.
Ransomware on ops platforms
Double-extortion actors targeting clearing, settlement and policy-admin systems during operational-resilience windows.
Insider privilege abuse
Over-privileged core-banking service accounts and shared admin credentials still common in legacy estates.
Compliance
Prudential frameworks we help you defend.
Every Vectra engagement produces evidence mapped to the frameworks that actually govern your sector - not a generic ISO crosswalk.

Questions finance customers ask first.
Can't find the answer here? The sector lead responds to scoping queries within one business day - usually faster.
Ask the sector team directlyHow do you align detection with CPS 234 notification?
Our playbooks trigger named-analyst escalation inside the APRA 72-hour notification window, and we pre-draft the notification artefact so the Accountable Person can approve rather than compose.
Can you test against CPS 230 scenarios?
Yes. We design and execute scenario tests against your documented critical operations, measuring recovery-time objectives and documenting tolerance-for-disruption evidence.
Do you service mutual ADIs and smaller insurers?
Yes. Our shared-service managed offerings are designed for mid-market ADIs, super funds and insurers where a dedicated 24/7 SOC is not economic in-house.
Can you work within our change-freeze windows?
Every engagement is scheduled around your release calendar, EOFY and reporting blackouts. Assurance work can be delivered in read-only modes during code freeze.
Security, engineered around you.
Talk to an engineer - not a call centre. Most Vectra conversations start with a 30-minute technical briefing and end with a written plan.
