Supporting Government Through Threat-Informed Protective Security

Government agencies operate within an increasingly complex environment shaped by evolving security threats, digital transformation, growing public expectations and increasing demands for organisational resilience.

From protecting sensitive information and government personnel to maintaining essential services and critical infrastructure, effective security is fundamental to public trust, operational effectiveness and the delivery of government objectives.

At Montane Protective Security, we help government organisations understand threats, manage risk and build resilience through practical, threat-informed security solutions tailored to public sector environments.

Security Challenges Facing Government

Government organisations face a broad range of security and resilience challenges, including:

- Cyber security threats

- Insider risks

- Physical security threats

- Foreign interference

- Protection of official information

- Personnel security risks

- Supply chain vulnerabilities

- Critical infrastructure dependencies

- Emergency management responsibilities

- Organisational resilience requirements

Managing these challenges requires a coordinated and risk-based approach that integrates security, governance and operational priorities.

Supporting Government Security Frameworks

Government organisations operate within established security and risk management frameworks designed to protect people, information and assets.

Montane supports organisations in developing practical security capabilities aligned to government requirements and leading practice principles, including:

Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF)

Supporting security governance, personnel security, physical security and information security outcomes through risk-based and threat-informed approaches.

Our Threat-Informed Approach

At Montane, we believe effective security begins with understanding the threat environment.

Our Threat-Informed Protective Security methodology helps government organisations:
