Core Vulnerability Services

1. Network Vulnerability Assessment

This assessment is a critical step in safeguarding your operation’s IT infrastructure. We identify weaknesses within your internal and external networks that attackers could exploit.

Our process begins with comprehensive scanning of routers, firewalls, servers, and connected devices to detect misconfigurations, outdated software, and unpatched vulnerabilities. We then analyse exposure points, assess risk severity, and provide prioritised remediation recommendations.

By simulating real-world attack scenarios, we ensure your network defences are robust and resilient. Ideal for businesses seeking to reduce cyber risk, maintain compliance, and protect sensitive data, this assessment delivers actionable insights for a stronger security posture.

Advanced Vulnerability Services

1. Penetration Testing (Ethical Hacking)

Penetration Testing, often referred to as Ethical Hacking, is a controlled, expert-led simulation of real-world cyberattacks designed to validate the effectiveness of your security controls and expose exploitable weaknesses before adversaries do.

Unlike vulnerability scanning, penetration testing goes beyond detection to safely exploit flaws, demonstrate business impact (e.g., data access, lateral movement, privilege escalation), and provide clear, prioritised remediation guidance.

Our testing aligns to recognised standards (OWASP for applications and APIs, PTES/NIST for methodology) and emulates attacker techniques mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Whether Black-Box (no prior knowledge), Grey-Box (limited knowledge), or White-Box (full knowledge), we tailor the engagement to your objectives, ranging from external perimeter tests to deep internal assessments, social engineering, and red team exercises.

The result is a risk-focused, evidence-backed assessment that strengthens defences, improves compliance, and builds resilience against modern threats.

2. Configuration and Patch Management Review

Misconfigurations and missing patches are two of the most common, and preventable, root causes of security incidents.

Our Configuration and Patch Management Review evaluates how your systems are configured, updated, and governed to ensure they are secure, consistent, and aligned with best practices.

We assess operating systems, applications, network devices, cloud services, and security tooling to identify insecure defaults, configuration drift, and patching gaps. The engagement maps your current state against recognised frameworks (e.g., CIS Benchmarks, NIST SP 800 40, ITIL change management) and Australian guidance such as the ACSC Essential Eight (especially patching applications and operating systems).

You will receive a clear, prioritised remediation and practical process improvements that reduce exploitability, strengthen resilience, and improve compliance readiness.

3. IoT and Device Vulnerability Assessment

The rapid adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and smart technologies introduces new attack surfaces that traditional security measures often overlook.

Our assessment service identifies weaknesses in connected devices, such as sensors, cameras, medical equipment, industrial controllers, and smart appliances, that could be exploited to compromise your network or data.

We evaluate firmware, communication protocols, authentication mechanisms, and device configurations to uncover vulnerabilities that attackers can leverage for lateral movement or data exfiltration.

This assessment is ideal for operations in healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and smart office environments, this service ensures your IoT ecosystem is secure, compliant, and resilient against evolving threats.

Compliance and Reporting Services

1. Compliance Gap Analysis

A Compliance Gap Analysis assesses how your current security controls and processes align with industry standards and regulatory requirements, then pinpoints what’s missing.

We benchmark your environment against frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001, NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), SOC 2, PCI DSS, and Australian guidance like the ACSC Essential Eight.

We analyse your policies, technical controls, governance, and evidence to identify gaps, quantify risk, and produce a prioritised remediation roadmap.

The outcome is a clear report, providing visibility of your compliance readiness, defensible improvements for audit, and a practical plan to achieve (and maintain) certification or attestation, without disrupting the business.

Achieve Audit Readiness. Request a Compliance Gap Analysis, Book Your Compliance Review Today.

2. Risk Prioritisation and Remediation Planning

Identifying vulnerabilities is only the first step, knowing which risks to address first and how to fix them effectively is where real security improvement happens.

Our Risk Prioritisation and Remediation Planning service transforms raw vulnerability data into a clear, actionable roadmap.

We analyse findings from assessments, correlate them with business impact, exploitability, and compliance requirements, then rank them by criticality. This ensures your resources are focused on the issues that matter most.

We provide detailed remediation guidance, timelines, and ownership assignments, helping you close gaps quickly and efficiently whilst minimising operational disruption.

3. Continuous Vulnerability Monitoring

Cyber threats evolve daily, and for some businesses a one-time assessment is no longer enough to stay secure.

Our Continuous Vulnerability Monitoring service provides ongoing visibility into your security posture by detecting new vulnerabilities as they emerge, before attackers exploit them.

Using automated scanning tools integrated with your environment, combined with expert analysis, we monitor networks, applications, endpoints, and cloud resources for configuration drift, missing patches, and emerging threats.

This proactive approach ensures vulnerabilities are identified and remediated quickly, reducing risk and maintaining compliance with frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and the ACSC Essential Eight.

This service is ideal for operations seeking real-time assurance and continuous improvement.
