Assessment and testing
Independent testing that shows where you are actually vulnerable and what to fix first.
- Penetration testing
- Vulnerability assessment
- Security architecture reviews
Cybersecurity & Governance
Security built into the work, not bolted on at the end.
We help organisations find and fix real risk across applications, cloud and AI systems, and build governance that satisfies regulators without blocking delivery.
Overview
Cybersecurity & Governance
Security teams are stretched across more systems, more vendors and now more AI tools than ever. Generic checklists and annual reports do little to reduce actual exposure.
We focus on the risks that matter for your organisation: the applications holding sensitive data, the identities with too much access, the cloud configurations that drift and the AI systems that introduce new attack surfaces such as prompt injection and data leakage.
Business challenges
Problems we are usually asked to solve
01
Unknown exposure
No clear inventory of internet-facing assets, privileged accounts or third-party integrations.
02
Compliance pressure
Frameworks such as the Essential Eight, ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 and the Privacy Act demand evidence that is hard to produce.
03
AI adoption outpacing policy
Staff are using AI tools with sensitive data before any governance, risk assessment or controls exist.
04
Security as a release blocker
Late-stage security reviews delay launches and frustrate engineering teams.

Engagement approach
How an engagement runs
- 01
Scope
Assets, threats and obligations agreed so effort goes where risk is highest.
- 02
Assess
Testing, reviews and interviews produce a clear, evidence-based picture.
- 03
Remediate
Prioritised fixes, delivered with your team or by ours.
- 04
Sustain
Ongoing testing, monitoring and governance cadence to keep posture improving.
What is the Essential Eight?
The Essential Eight is a set of baseline mitigation strategies published by the Australian Cyber Security Centre. We assess your maturity against it and help you lift it in a practical sequence.
How is AI security different from traditional security?
AI systems introduce risks such as prompt injection, sensitive data leakage through outputs, insecure tool use by agents and poisoned retrieval content. They need specific testing and controls alongside the usual application security practices.
How often should we run penetration tests?
At least annually and after significant changes to systems exposed to the internet. Many organisations also test before major releases.
Can you help us write an AI usage policy?
Yes. We help you define acceptable use, data handling rules, approval processes for new AI tools and the technical controls that back them up.
