Compliance · Mining services and technology
Compliance pressure on mining-services firms.
Site plans, tenement data, safety audits, geotechnical survey. The data a mining-services firm holds is commercially sensitive, and the majors who commission the work now ask for security evidence that a 30-seat consultancy does not have the staff to produce without help.
What we do · compliance practice
What CCP does for mining services and technology on compliance.
What we do for a mining-services firm usually starts with two realities. The data sensitivity is high (tenement plans, unreleased survey results, safety audit findings), and the clients (Tier 1 miners, the majors, government agencies) ask for security controls that match that sensitivity. The firm sitting between those two realities needs an evidence-generating stack that clears both.
The practical work maps cleanly onto the Essential Eight plus identity and data-loss-prevention overlays. Where site data is shared with the principal, we set up controlled collaboration channels with retention and access control that survive a staff change. Where project data is held on-premises for field reasons, we extend the control environment to it rather than pretending it lives somewhere it does not.
Travelling staff and remote sites are the part most generic IT vendors get wrong in this sector. We build for the field reality: managed devices that work offline, conditional access that lets people work from a camp or a charter flight without dropping the security baseline, and backup and recovery designed for the data volumes a survey or geophysical project actually generates. The control environment has to operate where the work happens, not just at head office.
Where it fits · managed IT engagement
Where this sits inside a managed-IT engagement.
The Client Security Baseline is the starting point. For most mining-services firms the baseline covers the majority of a principal's security questionnaire. Where the principal runs a mature supplier-assurance program and needs a deeper overlay (ISO 27001-adjacent evidence, specific DLP controls around tenement data), we layer those controls on per engagement.
