Let's SPRING into RFFR Right Fit For Risk

If you're a contracted Employment Services or DES provider, you've probably heard the term "Right Fit for Risk" usually followed by a slightly panicked look.

Understandable. It sounds like something you need a cyber security degree to tackle.

You don't.

What RFFR actually is

RFFR is DEWR's cyber security accreditation requirement for contracted Employment Services and DES providers. It requires your organisation to design, implement and maintain an Information Security Management System (ISMS) consistent with ISO 27001 and the Australian Government Information Security Manual, including a Statement of Applicability specific to your business.

For most providers, it's not optional. It's a condition of your Deed.

Why it feels so hard

If you're a small or medium provider without an in-house security team, all of this can feel like a foreign language. ISMS. SoA. Audit pathways. None of it is your day job — and it shouldn't have to be.

Where we fit in

We're your compliance and project management partner for RFFR — not a cyber security firm.

That distinction matters. It means someone who understands audit documentation and government accreditation end-to-end, working alongside whoever already manages your IT — not replacing them.

You don't need to ditch your current IT provider to get RFFR-ready. We'd usually prefer you didn't! We translate the requirements into practical actions they can implement. No IT provider yet, or yours can't take this on? We can connect you with one. Either way, the project stays coordinated under one roof.

How we help, depending on where you're at:

• Plain-English advice on what RFFR requires of you

• An honest ISMS review against ISO 27001

• Gap analysis with a practical roadmap

• Audit documentation prep, including your SoA

• Hands-on ISMS implementation

• Ongoing compliance support once you're accredited

RFFR isn't a one-off tick-box exercise, and it's not going away. But it doesn't have to be a roadblock either.
