“Have an unrelenting belief that things will work out, and that the long road has a purpose.”

Jade J Koay

Principal, Audit & Assurance

Jade believes that any challenge can be resolved with persistence and purpose, and always with the client’s success at the centre. She takes ownership of every engagement from start to finish, guiding clients through complexity with clarity, discipline and resilience. By prioritising long-term outcomes over short-term obstacles, she ensures the delivery of lasting value.

Jade specialises in cybersecurity audit and assurance as well as organisational resilience. She brings over 10 years of experience across the public sector, including recent leadership roles at the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) and the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO). Jade supports public and private sector organisations to uplift their overall cyber posture by strengthening cyber governance, assessing control effectiveness and delivering practical, risk-based assurance in complex technology environments.

Through her roles at ASD and the ANAO, Jade has developed deep expertise across Australia’s cybersecurity and protective security landscape. At ASD, she was the Infosec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) Administrator and operated at the centre of national cybersecurity guidelines and guidance under Project REDSPICE. At the ANAO, Jade led and delivered a complex performance audit on the management of cybersecurity incidents.

A cornerstone of Jade’s career to date was overseeing the development, implementation and national rollout of ASD’s Essential Eight Assessment Course in collaboration with TAFEcyber from August 2023. This course was included in Shield 5 of the 2023–2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy.
