MyCISO wins Australian Information Security Association Startup of the Year award

Sydney cybersecurity SaaS platform MyCISO was named Startup of the Year at the 2025 Australian Information Security Association Awards.

MyCISO tackles one of cybersecurity’s biggest frustrations: the reliance on manual spreadsheets and fragmented tools to manage increasingly complex security programs.

The platform’s Security Operating System (SecurityOS) integrates assessments, risk, compliance, maturity, effectiveness, supplier security, culture, and incident response into a single platform, giving leaders clarity and control. recognised for transforming how organisations manage cyber security, increase resiliency and measure progress.

Cofounder and CEO Dane Meah, who was also named Leader of the Year at the Pemba Summit Awards for his contribution to leadership and innovation in the Australian technology sector, said the platform’s intelligence engine, PrecogAI, helps CISOs (chief information security 0fficers) and their teams understand what matters most, where their exposure lies, and what steps will make the greatest difference via a real-time view of risk and maturity aligned with business objectives,

“We envision a world where every organisation can confidently manage its cyber risks, meet compliance requirements, and improve resilience, regardless of internal expertise or budget,” he said.

“Too many organisations still rely on point-in-time manual assessments, that can’t keep pace with how fast threats evolve. We built MyCISO to simplify the process and create real time visibility and reporting that that security leaders can rely on to make better decisions backed by data.”

Stephen Bennett, CISO at ASX-listed Domino’s Pizza, said MyCISO has become a central part of how they manage and monitor framework conformance globally.

“It gives us visibility across multiple frameworks and regions and helps us communicate risk in clear business terms. It delivers practical insight we can act on quickly,” he said.

In 2026, MyCISO is planning to expand into global markets, including the United States, with new product enhancements focused on advanced risk analytics.
