Cyber Security
Effective cyber security is paramount to maintaining and sustaining your business in the modern era. Attacks are largely automated and as a result, your size or geography does not protect you. Equally, it is easy to over invest in cyber controls or invest in the wrong areas. With decades of experiences to draw on across a vast array of industries and businesses of all sizes, we are the Cyber partner for you.
Cyber threats today come from a multitude of avenues, such as; ransomware, network based attacks like DDoS, phishing & business email compromise, right through to more sophisticated attacks on your web sites, applications and APIs. Despite this, a large proportion of cyber events are down to poor preventative measures, misconfigurations and lack of monitoring and alerting.
Our pragmatic approach to cyber ensures first and foremost that we align stakeholders across your business towards the same goal. We achieve this by assessing and scoring your Cyber Risk Appetite. This sets the appropriate level of cyber protection that we need to aim for. Next through a combination of desktop and technical assessments we score how secure you currently are, otherwise known as your cyber posture. Finally, we deliver you a tailored cyber remediation plan that will lift you to a level at or above your risk appetite score. This tailored approach ensures a pragmatic and cost effective path to cyber success.

Align your security investments with organizational priorities through our structured Cyber Risk Appetite Assessment. This consultative process helps boards and executive teams articulate clear security expectations in business terms that guide effective investment & resource allocation.
Unlike generic security frameworks, our assessment focuses on your specific business context, regulatory requirements, and industry threat landscape. This tailored approach ensures security investments directly address your most significant business risks.
The resulting risk appetite statement provides a clear governance framework for security decisions, balancing protection requirements with business flexibility. This clarity prevents both under-investment in critical controls and excessive spending on lower-priority concerns.
-
Gain a clear understanding of your current security posture with our Comprehensive Cyber Security Assessment. This structured evaluation examines your security capabilities across people, process, and technology dimensions, identifying specific strengths and vulnerabilities.
Our assessment methodology incorporates leading security frameworks including, CIS, NIST, ISO 27001, and Essential Eight, tailored to the specific requirements of organizations operating in New Zealand and Australia. This approach ensures relevance to local regulatory requirements and threat landscapes.
The resulting assessment report provides both executive-level insights and detailed technical findings, enabling informed decision-making at all organizational levels. This comprehensive view supports both strategic planning and tactical remediation activities.
-
Transform security findings into effective action through our structured Cyber Remediation Planning service. We develop prioritized, resource-efficient plans that systematically address identified vulnerabilities while aligning with your organizational risk appetite.
Our planning methodology balances risk reduction impact, implementation complexity, and resource requirements to create optimized security improvement roadmaps. This balanced approach ensures that both the lowest risk appetite score elements & most critical vulnerabilities receive immediate attention while building sustainable security capabilities.
Each remediation plan includes detailed control specifications, implementation guidance, and success metrics tied to your risk appetite statement. This comprehensive approach ensures security investments deliver meaningful risk reduction aligned with business priorities.
-
Validate your security effectiveness through our specialized Penetration Testing services. Our certified ethical hackers simulate real-world attack scenarios against your websites, web applications, and APIs to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. Black, Grey and White Hat approaches are available on request.
Unlike purely automated scanning tools, our addition of manual testing methodology uncovers complex vulnerability chains, business logic flaws, and other sophisticated attack vectors that automated approaches miss. This comprehensive approach provides a true picture of your security effectiveness.
All findings are delivered with clear remediation guidance, severity ratings, and practical implementation recommendations. This actionable intelligence enables your team to quickly address identified vulnerabilities and strengthen your security posture. As you’d expect, re-testing is always included.
-
Maintain continuous security vigilance with our comprehensive Vulnerability Management solutions. We implement systematic processes to identify, classify and prioritize security vulnerabilities across your entire technology environment.
Our approach combines automated scanning technologies with expert analysis to eliminate false positives and prioritize findings based on actual exploitation risk. This efficiency ensures your team focuses on the vulnerabilities that present the greatest actual threat.
Beyond identification, we provide structured remediation workflows, verification processes, and executive reporting to create accountability for vulnerability closure. This complete lifecycle approach transforms vulnerability management from a periodic assessment into a continuous security improvement process.
