Cyber Security & IT Assessment at a glance

What is Cyber Security & IT Assessment?

Cyber Security & IT Assessment is a comprehensive security assessment across your network, cloud, identity and data protection - with every finding scored by exploitability and business impact, aligned to the ACSC Essential Eight.

Who is it for?

This assessment is designed for:

  • Businesses that have never had an independent security assessment
  • Organisations handling sensitive customer or financial data
  • Teams needing Essential Eight alignment for contracts or insurance
  • Leadership wanting a clear, prioritised view of cyber risk

When do businesses need it?

You may need a security assessment when:

  • Cyber insurance or tenders demand evidence of controls
  • Staff and system changes have outpaced security reviews
  • A near-miss or industry incident has raised the stakes
  • Compliance obligations require regular independent assessment

What outcomes can you expect?

By the end of the assessment, you will have:

  • A critical findings report with exploitability ratings
  • A remediation roadmap ranked by effort and urgency
  • Essential Eight maturity scoring against a target state
  • An executive briefing that makes risk legible to leadership

Know your exposure before someone else does

Security posture drifts. Configurations change, staff come and go, and the controls that were adequate two years ago quietly stop being adequate. Most organisations find out the hard way.

We stress-test your environment across network, cloud, identity and data protection, score every finding by exploitability and business impact, and hand you a remediation plan ranked by effort and urgency, aligned to the ACSC Essential Eight.
