Initiatives underway
across the group
The digital world is expanding faster than our ability to stay resilient within it.
Digital safety is treated as a specialist problem. In reality, it affects every person, institution, and community. Knowledge is fragmented, tools are difficult to navigate, and the cost of resilience is borne by those least equipped to absorb it.
Cybergiene Group exists to change that — doing for cybersafety what Robinhood did for retail investing: making it easy for individuals and micro-businesses to access the right tools, resources, and communities, systemically personalised to their circumstances.
How we tackle it
01
Deeptech commercialisation
Translating cutting-edge security research into practical, accessible products that ordinary people and small organisations can actually use.
02
Novel resilience frameworks
Defining new standards and playbooks designed around the needs of individuals and micro-businesses, not enterprises.
03
Political advocacy
Pushing for policy and regulatory environments that treat digital safety as a public good and hold platforms accountable.
Working across
What's happening.
Multiple initiatives are in active development — spanning research and standards, technology, access, and community — alongside new partnerships and place-based projects taking shape.
Formation
Cybergiene Group takes shape
The group structure, mission, and operating model are in place — a social enterprise built to operate across government, academia, private industry, and community with a mandate to democratise digital resiliency.
Research
Open research and standards layer launched
opendigitalresilience.org is developing the open research, frameworks and measurement systems for understanding human digital resilience — including ETHICS and ARC — so resilience can actually be defined, studied, and measured.
Technology
A programmable resilience layer in development
Research outputs, APIs, and embeddable micro-SaaS tools are being built to make digital resilience something that can be packaged, licensed, and embedded into the products and platforms people already rely on.
Access
Connecting small businesses with cyber support
Building a new model that pairs organisations without security resources to emerging talent, experienced mentors, and repeatable processes — practical, affordable help that doesn't require an enterprise budget.
Community
Collective resilience platform taking shape
Creating the community layer: a platform where people learn together, share threat intelligence, and build resilience as a collective capability rather than facing cybersecurity alone.
Partnership
8Circle Tour Partnership
Cybergiene has partnered with 8Circle Tour — bringing digital resilience education and community engagement to new audiences, and extending the reach of the Group's work through trusted on-the-ground networks.
Upcoming
Digital Resilient City project
A place-based initiative applying Cybergiene's frameworks and cross-sector approach to build digital resilience at city scale — connecting government, business, community organisations, and residents around shared resilience outcomes.
Not everything is ready to be revealed.
Four distinct layers are taking shape — research and standards, technology, access, and community. The work is real. The names aren't all ready yet.
Frameworks · Measurement · Open research
Research & Standards
Open research, frameworks and measurement systems — including ETHICS and ARC — to define what digital resilience actually means, creating the evidence base the rest of the work is built on.
Deeptech · APIs · Micro-SaaS
Technology
Research, APIs, and embeddable micro-SaaS being built to make digital resilience programmable — designed to be licensed and embedded into products people already use.
Talent · Mentoring · Process
Access
A new model connecting small businesses with emerging cyber talent, experienced mentors, and repeatable processes. Practical, structured support without the enterprise price tag.
Intelligence · Learning · Collective
Community
A platform turning cybersecurity from something individuals face alone into a collective capability — shared threat intelligence, peer learning, and community-driven resilience at scale.
Help shape
what comes next.
Cybergiene is building with people and organisations who believe digital safety should be practical, inclusive, and available to more of society.
