Cybersecurity, GRC & Essential Eight. Assess, prove, and harden.
Assessments, penetration testing, and Essential Eight / ISO 27001 uplift — the point-in-time work that shows where you stand and closes the gaps. GRC and identity included. Where Managed Security runs your defence, this assesses and hardens it.
The challenge
The security rules now carry real consequences — and you can't simply hire your way to meeting them. Government agencies must reach a set Essential Eight security level (most still haven't), and that expectation now lands on their suppliers too.
Banks and insurers face tight deadlines to report any breach, and customers increasingly want written proof your protections are in place. With Australia short around 30,000 cyber specialists, most businesses can't produce the reviews, fixes, and evidence the rules demand on their own.
Our approach
We make compliance demonstrable and turn it into defence. A fixed-price assessment shows exactly where you stand against the Essential Eight (or ISO 27001), then we deliver the uplift hands-on — not a slide deck. Australian-accredited consultants front every engagement; Colombo delivers the remediation, testing, and evidence behind them.
Where this assesses and hardens you at a point in time, Managed Security runs the 24×7 defence — so when you're ready, one hands to the other.

Essential Eight (or ISO 27001) assessment

Few mid-market firms can both certify-ready you and defend you 24×7 from a real SOC.
Accredited front, economic delivery
Australian-accredited consultants where trust matters; offshore cost advantage behind them.

Audit- and insurer-ready
Control evidence produced as a deliverable.
Frequently asked questions
Do you certify us to ISO 27001 / IRAP?
We get you ready and run the program; an independent accredited body issues the certification — we keep that separation clean.
Is the work done offshore?
Australian-accredited consultants lead and own the relationship; remediation, testing, and evidence are delivered from Colombo. Clearance-required work stays onshore.
How does this relate to Managed Security?
This assesses and hardens you at a point in time; Managed Security runs the 24×7 defence. The assessment is the front door — many clients do both.
We're a government supplier — can you help us hit ML2?
Yes — that's the primary use case.
Get assessed, compliant, and defended.
