Virtual Security Office

  • Compliance isn't just about ticking boxes—it's a prerequisite for revenue, partnerships, and customer trust. Our service helps organisations achieve and maintain industry-standard compliance frameworks like ISO27001, PCI-DSS, and Essential Eight through expert implementation and automated monitoring.

  • We provide end-to-end compliance program management, from initial gap analysis through certification and ongoing maintenance. Our approach combines automated compliance monitoring with hands-on remediation engineering, ensuring your controls are both auditable and practically sustainable. We work as your "internal auditor" to prepare you for external certification with minimal disruption to your operations.

    • Compliance Gap Analysis - Detailed assessment of current state versus certification requirements with actionable remediation roadmap

    • Automated Control Monitoring - Real-time compliance tracking and reporting through integrated risk management platforms

    • Remediation Engineering - Practical implementation of security controls with CLI examples and integration into existing DevOps workflows

    • Certification Support - As your representative with external auditors and comprehensive audit preparation to ensure successful certification

Automated Compliance

  • Often risk management can create endless lists that overwhelm teams and stall progress instead of driving meaningful improvement. Our Realistic Risk Management service provides automated, prioritised risk assessment that aligns with your DevOps cadence and focuses on actionable remediation for your engineering teams.

  • We automate your security risk assessments using proven Center for Internet Security (CIS) and SysAdmin, Audit, Network and Security (SANS) methodologies. Our Kanban-style dashboard fits seamlessly into your existing development process.

    We continuously scan your environments from development to production, delivering clear, prioritised recommendations tailored to your technology stack and business needs. Controls are validated when you need them, so your team focuses effort on the fixes that matter most.

    • Continuous Risk Scanning - Automated identification and categorisation of risks across development and production environments

    • Technology-Specific Assessments - Tailored risk evaluation for AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid cloud environments based on your actual infrastructure

    • Engineering-Focused Remediation - Prioritised action items with technical guidance and examples delivered through familiar development workflows

    • Business-Aligned Reporting - Security posture dashboards that translate technical risks into business impact and strategic decisions

Realistic Risk Management

  • AI systems introduce unique risks around bias, privacy, security, and regulatory compliance that traditional assessments don't address. Our structured framework evaluates AI systems—whether internally developed or externally sourced—to ensure they meet ethical, legal, and security standards before deployment.

  • We conduct comprehensive assessments covering governance, bias and fairness, security and privacy, explainability, and vendor accountability. Our framework evaluates AI systems against regulatory requirements like GDPR, Australian Privacy Act, and emerging legislation while ensuring alignment with the 8 AI Ethics Principles. Each assessment results in risk categorisation and clear deployment recommendations with ongoing monitoring requirements.

    • AI Governance Assessment - Evaluation of regulatory compliance, ethical alignment, and legal obligations with detailed gap analysis

    • Bias & Security Risk Analysis - Comprehensive testing for algorithmic bias, data protection measures, and system reliability vulnerabilities

    • Vendor Risk Evaluation - Assessment of external AI providers' compliance posture, data handling practices, and contractual protections

    • Implementation Roadmap - Risk-categorised recommendations with monitoring requirements and incident response procedures for approved AI systems

AI Impact Assessment

  • Security added as an afterthought is expensive and ineffective—it needs to be designed into your systems from the beginning. Our Secure Architecture service provides comprehensive threat modelling, security design, and identity management frameworks that protect your assets while enabling business growth.

  • We use industry-leading methodologies like TARA and STRIDE to systematically identify threats and design appropriate controls. Through collaborative workshops, we create detailed system diagrams, develop threat scenarios, and build comprehensive threat models that integrate with your development lifecycle. Our approach covers everything from identity and access management to zero-trust networking and secure software development practices.

    • Comprehensive Threat Modelling - Systematic threat identification using proven methodologies with detailed attack scenarios and mitigation strategies

    • Identity & Access Management (IAM) Design - Complete IAM architecture covering staff authentication, customer identity, and privileged access management

    • Security Architecture Documentation - Detailed system diagrams, trust boundaries, data flows, and security control specifications

    • Implementation Guidance - Practical remediation strategies with technical designs and integration roadmaps for your existing development processes

Secure Architecture

  • Startups and growing businesses need senior leadership to make informed product & tech decisions, but often can't afford a full-time CTO or lack the expertise to build scalable foundations. Our Fractional CTO service provides strategic technology guidance, team development, and infrastructure planning tailored to your growth stage and business objectives.

  • We work alongside your existing team to establish robust technical foundations, development processes, and scalable architectures. Our experienced technology leaders provide strategic roadmap development, team mentorship, and hands-on implementation support while building internal capabilities for long-term independence.

    We help you set up pragmatic cost efficient workplace for remote-first or hybrid teams tailored for both engineering and non-technical staff. We focus on practical solutions that align with your budget and timeline constraints while preparing you for future scaling.

    • Technology Strategy & Roadmap - Comprehensive 12-24 month technology plans with architecture designs and scalability frameworks aligned to business objectives
