Cyber Security Audit & Vulnerability Assessment
Understanding your current security posture is the essential first step. You can’t protect what you don’t know is exposed — and in today’s threat environment, assuming you’re adequately protected without evidence is a risk no business can afford to take.
Our security audit and vulnerability assessment process gives you a clear, honest picture of where your business stands — what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change.
Cybercrime is the fastest growing category of crime in Australia. The ASD’s Annual Cyber Threat Report recorded a cybercrime report every six minutes in the last financial year. Most successful attacks exploit known, preventable vulnerabilities — not zero-day exploits. A structured audit finds those gaps before someone else does.
Our security audit provides a comprehensive review of your IT environment — examining your network infrastructure, systems, access controls, and security configurations against current best practice and the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Essential Eight framework.
The audit is conducted by our engineers and, where required, in partnership with specialist third-party security assessors. You receive a clear, prioritised report — not a dense technical document, but a practical breakdown of findings with recommended remediation steps ranked by risk.
Your IT environment doesn’t stand still — and neither do the methods attackers use to probe it. New devices are added, software changes, configurations drift. A point-in-time assessment is useful; an ongoing vulnerability scanning platform is better.
We have access to enterprise-grade vulnerability assessment tools that continuously monitor your environment, identify new exposures as they emerge, and alert us before they can be exploited. Think of it as a persistent security lens over your network — not a once-a-year exercise.
Network Security Review
Detailed assessment of your firewall configuration, network segmentation, remote access controls, and exposure to external threats.
Endpoint Assessment
Review of all devices connected to your network — PCs, laptops, mobile devices — for patch status, security software, and configuration weaknesses.
Microsoft 365 Configuration Review
Assessment of your M365 tenant against security best practice — including email security, Teams permissions, SharePoint access, and admin controls.
Ongoing Vulnerability Scanning
Continuous automated scanning of your environment to identify new vulnerabilities as they emerge — with regular reporting and prioritised remediation guidance.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Essential Eight is the baseline framework for cyber security in Australia. It defines eight mitigation strategies that, when implemented correctly, significantly reduce the risk of the most common cyber attacks. Technicalities assesses your maturity against all eight strategies.
Each strategy is assessed across four maturity levels — from no meaningful implementation through to a fully optimised and monitored control. We give you a maturity rating for each, a gap analysis, and a roadmap to improve your overall posture.
Technology controls alone are not enough. The most sophisticated firewall in the world won’t stop an employee clicking a convincing phishing email. People are consistently the most targeted — and most exploited — element of any organisation’s security posture.
Security awareness training gives your staff the knowledge to recognise and respond to threats — phishing emails, social engineering, suspicious links, unsafe behaviour. We work with leading training platforms to deliver engaging, scenario-based training that actually changes behaviour rather than just ticking a compliance box.
Phishing Simulations
Controlled, realistic phishing campaigns sent to your staff to identify who is at risk — with targeted follow-up training for those who click.
Ongoing Training Modules
Short, engaging training modules delivered regularly — covering phishing, password security, social engineering, AI-generated threats, and more.
Reporting & Risk Scoring
Track your organisation’s security awareness over time with individual and team-level risk scores, completion rates, and improvement metrics.
Policy & Compliance Support
Training programmes aligned to your internal security policy and any relevant compliance requirements — including cyber insurance obligations.
Cyber insurance providers are raising the bar
An increasing number of cyber insurance providers now require evidence of security awareness training, MFA implementation, and regular vulnerability assessments before issuing or renewing a policy. Getting your security posture in order isn’t just good practice — for many businesses, it’s becoming a prerequisite for coverage.
