Asish Narayan, Founder & Cybersecurity Architect
Asish Narayan
Founder & Cybersecurity Architect
Asish brings over 20 years of cybersecurity experience across ASX Top 50 enterprises, NSW Government, critical infrastructure, telecommunications, finance, insurance, utilities, mining, healthcare and SMB environments.
What sets his work apart is an unusual breadth: Asish operates seamlessly as Manager, Architect and Engineer within a single engagement. He has led security teams at essential-services providers, designed enterprise security blueprints across hybrid environments, remediated tens of thousands of vulnerabilities at scale, and architected end-to-end security for SMB clients from scratch. The same person who briefs the CIO writes the PowerShell automation.
Asish founded Pyneora to bring this combined Manager, Architect and Engineer capability to Australian small and mid-sized businesses - without the cost or complexity of a large consultancy. Every Pyneora engagement is led directly by Asish, with no handoffs and no juniors learning on your environment.
Based in Sydney, NSW.

Pyneora
Pyneora is a coined word formed from two ideas - strength and protection.
PINE
The pinewood. A tough, evergreen timber chosen historically for its strength and durability. A symbol of a strong, lasting foundation.
AURA
A circle of protection. The presence that surrounds and safeguards what matters.
Combined into a three-syllable name - distinct, memorable, and built to stand on its own. The intent is direct: Pyneora exists to provide strong foundations and clear protection for Australian businesses that need enterprise-grade security without the enterprise overhead.
Five principles that shape every engagement
-
1. Structured, not reactive.
Every engagement follows a defined methodology with measurable milestones. No firefighting masquerading as a security programme.
-
2. Architect-led, end-to-end.
I lead every assessment, design every roadmap, and stay accountable through implementation. No handoffs to junior teams.
-
3. Outcome-driven, not activity-driven.
The deliverable is measurable risk reduction - fewer vulnerabilities, faster recovery times, clearer visibility. Not a stack of tools and a status report.
-
4. Aligned to recognised frameworks.
Every Pyneora engagement maps to ACSC Essential Eight, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, PCI-DSS 4.0, APRA CPS 234, ASD ISM, IRAP readiness, or sector-specific compliance requirements. Your work is portable to any auditor, any insurer, any future provider.
-
5. Local, accountable, and selective.
Based in Sydney, NSW. Direct phone and email access. Pyneora typically onboards only 2 to 4 new clients per month so every engagement gets full attention.
Asish holds several industry and vendor certifications, including CISSP Verify credential ↗. Full credentials are available on his LinkedIn profile.
