KIRRA PENDERGAST
Digital Safety Expert Speaker - Policy Advisor
Author - Strategist - Leadership Mentor
Kirra Pendergast has spent thirty-four years at the intersection of cybersecurity, human behaviour, and human digital risk. ​In 2013, after surviving a sustained cyber abuse campaign, she created frameworks, audit methodologies, training systems, and restorative justice models that institutions now rely on to protect their people, manage their risk, and meet their legal obligations.
She has contributed to national legislation, given evidence at parliamentary inquiries, served as an expert witness in cross-jurisdictional litigation, and advised over 1,200 organisations worldwide. She has been appointed to federal government advisory boards, national standards committees, and international regulatory consultations. Her programs reach millions of people annually.
Her value lies in a combination that is exceptionally rare in this field, deep technical experience, regulatory and legislative fluency, proprietary research methodology, frontline crisis expertise, business leadership and the ability to translate the most complex digital safety challenges into language and systems that impact positive change.
