Professional accountability for security outcomes

About

Experience built on delivery

Sarah Djula is a senior cyber security practitioner with long-standing experience delivering security work in government and regulated environments. Her work centres on producing documentation that is accurate, reviewable, and suitable for formal assessment.

Sarah has worked across federal and state government settings, as well as regulated industries operating under defined assurance frameworks. These environments require precision, clarity, and a practical understanding of how security decisions are assessed.

Her work is delivery-led. Sarah writes the artefacts herself and remains responsible for their quality from commencement to completion.

A hands-on practitioner

Sarah Djula is involved directly in every engagement. She does not provide high-level commentary detached from the work. The documentation reflects her own analysis of the system, its risks, and its operating context.

This direct involvement supports early identification of gaps and reduces the likelihood of issues arising during assessment. It also ensures documentation reflects how systems operate in practice.

Sarah Djula’s role is to deliver security documentation that withstands scrutiny.

Assessment-informed cyber security practice

IRAP accreditation

Sarah Djula is an accredited IRAP assessor. This accreditation informs how she approaches assessment preparation and security documentation.

Sarah understands how IRAP assessments are conducted, how evidence is reviewed, and how findings are formed. This understanding shapes the structure, language, and level of detail applied to each deliverable.

Documentation is written for Authorising Officers and delegate. Claims are supported by evidence. Ambiguity is avoided.

Secure by design and in practice

Sarah applies a secure-by-design approach throughout her work. As an accomplished professional with strong SABSA credentials, Sarah uses her skills to align business objectives with robust security controls, ensuring solutions are risk informed, compliant and resilient against evolving threats, while enabling operational efficiency. Security considerations are addressed early in the lifecycle of a system, rather than corrected later.

This approach reduces rework and avoids delays during assurance and accreditation activities. It also supports clearer visibility of risk and control effectiveness for decision-makers.

Sarah Djula’s documentation reflects both intended security design and operational reality.

Experience shaped by government environments

Working across government stakeholders

Sarah Djula has extensive experience working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. She is accustomed to translating technical detail into documentation that can be understood by reviewers and decision-makers.

This capability is particularly relevant in government environments where documentation is assessed by audiences with differing technical backgrounds.

Sarah works directly with system owners, managers, delivery teams, and security stakeholders to confirm accuracy and alignment throughout the engagement.

Scope of work

Sarah Djula produces cyber security artefacts required for government and regulated environments. These include IRAP readiness assessment, IRAP assessment reports, system security plans, security risk management plans, operating procedures, and supporting annexes.

Where additional documentation is required, it is scoped clearly and delivered using the same disciplined approach.

Each artefact reflects the specific system and its operating context. Template-based outputs are not provided.

Sarah can tailor cyber security advice that suits your needs and strengthen your overall security posture without unnecessary complexity or jargon.

Engagement approach

All engagements commence with a written quote that defines scope, assumptions, and deliverables. This establishes clarity before work begins and supports predictable delivery.

Sarah Djula completes the work herself. There is no delegation to junior staff or third parties.

All engagements are conducted with confidentiality and professionalism.
