GRC · Microsoft 365 · Automation & AI

GRC that runs on the tools you already pay for.

I turn the Microsoft 365 you already licence into a working GRC system — risk registers, incident reporting, WHS, audits and policy. For small businesses and not-for-profits across Australia. No new platform to buy.

Why Zypher

Where GRC meets the tools you already own.

Most GRC consultants hand you a framework and leave you to run it in spreadsheets. Most Microsoft consultants have never maintained a register or fronted a board with an overdue action list. I do both — which is why what I build still gets used after I leave.

No new software

I build inside the Microsoft 365 your organisation already licences. No new subscription, no per-user fee, no migration project.

Built by someone who has run it

Eleven years in risk, compliance and governance. I have maintained the registers, led the audits, and answered to the board.

Remote, Australia-wide

Based in Hobart, working with organisations right across Australia. On site where that genuinely helps, remote where it does not.

What I Do

Three ways I can help.

What changes

Same obligations. A register that maintains itself.

Nothing about your compliance requirements changes. What changes is whether the record is current on the day someone asks.

About

Independent. Hands-on. Australia-wide.

I am Ashir Syed — eleven years in risk, compliance and governance, and a working knowledge of the Microsoft platform most organisations pay for and barely use. Zypher exists because a small charity deserves the same quality of GRC as a large one, without the large one’s invoice.

More about my approach
AI, adopted safely

Enthusiasm is not a governance framework.

AI can take real work off a stretched team — summarising incident reports, drafting policy updates, triaging hazards. It can also introduce privacy, accuracy and record-keeping risks nobody has assessed.

I keep current with the National AI Centre and work to the Australian Government’s Guidance for AI Adoption, so what we put in place is defensible to your board — not just impressive in a demo.
