01
Citizen Services & Applications
Citizen portals, government websites, mobile applications, digital identity
services, and supporting backend systems create direct exposure to users and attackers.
Weak authentication, insecure sessions, broken authorisation, vulnerable
business logic, and application flaws can expose sensitive information,
disrupt public services, or provide access to internal systems.

02
Critical Systems & Integrations
Government applications, APIs, inter-agency platforms, operational systems,
and service integrations often connect multiple internal and external environments.
Weaknesses in authorisation, API security, trust relationships, or system
integration can enable unauthorised access, service disruption, or
compromise of sensitive government processes.

03
Identity & Privileged Access
Compromised administrator, employee, contractor, or service accounts can
give attackers access to critical government systems and sensitive data.
MFA, privileged access, service identities, lifecycle controls, and
conditional access must work together to reduce identity-driven attack paths.

04
Cloud & Infrastructure Security
Government cloud adoption introduces security considerations around identities,
storage, workloads, configurations, network exposure, monitoring, and resilience.
Misconfiguration or excessive permissions can expose government workloads
even when traditional infrastructure controls remain strong.

05
Third-Party & Supply-Chain Exposure
Government organisations depend on cloud providers, technology vendors,
contractors, system integrators, outsourced services, and external platforms.
A weakness outside the organisation can still become a route into internal
systems, sensitive information, or critical public-sector services.

06
Advanced Threats & Cyber Incidents
A cyber incident affecting critical government systems can disrupt citizen
services, internal operations, essential functions, and public-sector continuity.
Government organisations need the capability to rapidly contain incidents,
preserve evidence, determine root cause, and recover systems securely.

07
Governance, Risk & Compliance
Government organisations need documented controls, clear security responsibilities,
measurable risk management, audit evidence, and management oversight.
Governance should connect cybersecurity requirements to real operational
and public-service risks rather than functioning only as a documentation exercise.
