2017
Cybercraft was founded in late 2017 by Jeff Herbert and Richard Williams as Lead Consultants to provide specialist cyber risk management services to mid-market businesses. We introduced cyber risk as a whole-of-business problem, not just a technology issue, and provided holistic risk assessments that related to business risk, brand reputation and impact, rather than just the technical aspect of cyber risk.
2018
In 2018 we were joined by Farah Herbert for market development, building relationships and looking at further opportunities for Cybercraft. We continued to build our client-base and established relationships with Governance New Zealand and Risk New Zealand as their exclusive cyber risk partner. We launched a privacy consulting service to help meet the growing need for privacy compliance.
2019
Over 2019 we commenced R&D of an innovative concept for a product with the capability to automate the cyber risk assessment process at scale. We also added ISO27001 implementation services and web penetration testing to our scope of services, expanding our capabilities and opportunities for growth. We commenced regular workshops introducing an innovative cyber risk management programme that was very popular and highly regarded.
2020
In the first half of 2020 we introduced several exciting new initiatives and new people to Cybercraft, growing the team to 6 people. We updated our corporate identity to better reflect our target audience, restructured our services into clear practice areas introduced our new Digital Engagement practice and expanded REDglass to include a custom hardware appliance for our service.

Digital Engagements
A Digital Engagement with us is the choice to engage with Cybercraft to bring specialised knowledge into your business and manage your project from ideation through to continuous iteration.
Cyber Resilience
We assists businesses in cyber resilience which is a core organisational function to protect reputation, finances and legal obligation. It is not just an IT or cyber security function. Cyber resilience is the outcome and we use cyber risk (governance and management) and cyber security to achieve cyber resilience.
Continuous Assurance
This is an assurance appliance that provides a secure remote jump point for security testing or investigation. A secure jump point can be setup for Cybercraft, Client technology support, or remote Service Provider.
Human Centred
These services provide growing companies, small to medium organizations with the opportunity to benefit from the expertise of an experienced C-level professional without the full time commitment of a permanent senior executive.
Privacy Practice
We assists organisations in becoming familiar with the privacy principles in the Privacy Act. This includes advising organisations on compliance with privacy requirements. And working with organisations when changing business practices on how this may impact the privacy policies.
