Daniel Farthing

Daniel is a cyber security risk and technology controls Partner based in Grant Thornton's Sydney office. With 15 years of experience in the United States and Australia, Daniel is one of the market's leading experts on SOC-2 and technology controls audits more broadly – including reviews with a focus on cyber/information security, access, change management, data governance and processing integrity.

Currently, Daniel spends the majority of his time assisting clients to implement and respond to regulatory changes including APRA's CPS 234 - Information Security, the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 and the Security Legislation Amendment (Critical Infrastructure Protection) Act 2022. In addition, he helps clients to mature their information security control frameworks to meet client or better practice frameworks.

Prior to joining Grant Thornton, Daniel spent 11 years with PwC working with some of the largest and most complex organisations in the world. He specialises, however, in simplifying and 'bringing to life' the various controls frameworks with practical examples and actionable insights that provide real value to organisations of all sizes. This allows clients to spend less time interpreting the requirements and more time focusing on achieving their strategic objectives.
