Where it hurts
Where things break down.
MCSS is mandatory for your agency, but the work to do it well isn't funded
Public service departments and a defined set of GCISO-mandated agencies are required to file an MCSS return. Almost none have budget allocated for the assessment work that sits behind a credible submission.
Your leadership needs a funded case, not a maturity score
Gap analysis, risk quantification, and a prioritised roadmap are what your Chief Executive and Audit and Risk Committee need before security investment gets approved. Producing that from a spreadsheet takes months your team doesn't have.
Your risk register doesn't speak the language your leadership reads
Maturity scores and control IDs mean nothing to your Audit and Risk Committee or Cabinet readers. They want business risk in plain English, with a number on it.
How Speculo fits
What changes when you use Speculo.
MCSS becomes the business case
Speculo turns your MCSS return into a funded initiative list in days, not months. Same data you have to collect anyway, viewed the right way.
Next Steps Report ready for the Audit and Risk Committee
Same inputs, same report, every time. Your current position, quantified risk view, and prioritised next steps become appendix-ready evidence for your committee paper or Cabinet submission.
NZISM and continuous compliance in the same platform
MCSS work carries into your NZISM assessment. The same controls, the same evidence, a different lens. And because you can regenerate the report any time, your compliance position stays current between audits, not just on the day the auditors arrive.
Compliance map
Frameworks and regulations Speculo helps with.
Score once against a unified control library. Speculo maps the same evidence onto each framework, so you're not re-running the work for each new audit.
