Cyber Sips and Security Tips: Risk and Governance for Directors

If you’re on a board or leading an organisation, cyber risk is your responsibility. Let’s talk about what that actually means.

Most directors know that cybersecurity matters. Fewer are confident about what they’re actually responsible for when things go wrong, or what good governance looks like in practice.

This session is built for company directors and NFP leaders who want a clear, plain-English picture of their obligations around risk and governance, without having to sit through a law lecture or a 90-slide deck.

Mitch Colton from Colton Computer Technologies and Levi Arthur Thurston from NLT Insurance will walk you through:

  • What directors are actually responsible for when it comes to cyber risk
  • Where most boards have gaps and what to do about them
  • How to ask the right questions of your IT team or provider
  • What a sensible, proportionate governance framework looks like for your organisation

Register your interest today! We are looking at a November 2026 event.

Cyber Sips and Security Tips: Keeping Your Digital Identity Safe

Councils hold a lot of sensitive data. Let’s make sure the wrong people can’t get their hands on it.

From ratepayer records to staff logins, local councils are sitting on more sensitive information than most people realise. And with AI making phishing emails harder to spot and credential theft easier to pull off, the stakes are higher than they’ve ever been.

The good news? You don’t need to be a tech expert to protect your organisation. You just need to know where the real risks are and what to do about them.

Join Mitch Colton from Colton Computer Technologies, Levi Arthur Thurston from NLT Insurance and our friends at LastPass for a practical, plain-English session covering:

  • How credentials get stolen and why councils are a target
  • What AI is doing to make social engineering attacks more convincing
  • How to protect your team’s digital identities without making their jobs harder
  • What good password and identity management looks like in practice
  • Simple steps your council can take right now

Drinks and nibbles provided. Come for the gin, leave with a plan.

Between Two Techies

From now on, Mitch and Levi Arthur will be doing a 20 minute chat every month, where they will cover:

  • The latest in cyber changes
  • What happened last month that you should know about?
  • What are they anticipating will happen over the coming month?

There will be handy tips, some general banter and a chance for Q&A at the end of each session.
