Helping organisations strengthen cyber resilience

As organisations continue to embrace digital technologies, cloud services and interconnected systems, cybersecurity has become a critical component of governance, operational resilience and business strategy. At the same time, evolving cyber threats and increasing regulatory expectations under frameworks such as DORA, NIS2 and ISO/IEC 27001 require organisations to adopt structured cybersecurity governance and compliance programmes.

At RSM Malta, we help organisations understand their obligations, strengthen their security posture and build sustainable cybersecurity frameworks that protect critical operations, safeguard information assets and support long-term business objectives.

How we help

Governance & compliance

We help organisations establish and strengthen cybersecurity governance frameworks aligned with recognised standards and regulations, including DORA, NIS2, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and NIST. Our approach focuses on creating practical and sustainable compliance programmes that support both regulatory obligations and operational objectives.

Gap assessments

We conduct structured assessments against applicable regulatory requirements and industry standards, identifying compliance gaps, evaluating control effectiveness and developing prioritised remediation roadmaps to support compliance readiness.

Security leadership

Our outsourced and co-sourced Information Security Officer services provide organisations with independent oversight, strategic guidance and ongoing support for cybersecurity governance, risk management and compliance initiatives.

Vulnerability assessments

We identify security weaknesses before they can be exploited through targeted vulnerability assessments and penetration testing activities, helping organisations strengthen their cybersecurity controls and reduce risk exposure.

IT control reviews

We assess key IT controls, governance arrangements and technology risk-management practices to help organisations strengthen accountability, improve oversight and support broader compliance objectives.

Supporting stronger cybersecurity governance

Organisations face growing regulatory obligations relating to cybersecurity, operational resilience, incident management and third-party risk oversight. We help clients understand and address these requirements through practical and proportionate compliance frameworks.

Cyber risks continue to increase in both frequency and sophistication. Our services help organisations evaluate cybersecurity risks, strengthen controls and improve preparedness against emerging threats.

The growing reliance on cloud technologies, remote working and third-party service providers introduces additional security considerations. We help organisations develop governance frameworks that address these evolving risks.

Customers, regulators, investors and boards increasingly expect organisations to demonstrate effective cybersecurity management. We help businesses build confidence through mature governance, effective controls and robust reporting.

Strong cybersecurity governance supports business continuity and resilience. We help organisations establish frameworks that improve preparedness, response capabilities and long-term organisational stability.
