Penetration Testing Melbourne

Yes. Our security team is based in Melbourne, and we work with businesses across metro Melbourne and regional Victoria. Melbourne clients can choose to meet us in person, both for scoping and to walk through the findings. The testing itself is done remotely, which is normal for external penetration testing, but the team you deal with is local.

Our prices suit smaller Melbourne businesses. Email Security Audit from $300. Network Perimeter Scan from $400. Website Security Audit from $500. Full Business Assessment at $1,200. These are fixed prices, not hourly rates, so you know the cost up front. We do not charge big-corporate rates, because every Melbourne business deserves proper security testing.

We work with Melbourne businesses of every size and industry. That includes professional services firms in the CBD, healthcare practices in the eastern suburbs, manufacturers in the western suburbs, tech companies in South Melbourne and Richmond, retailers across metro Melbourne, and construction companies throughout Victoria. Most of our clients have 5-200 staff and no security team of their own, but they know they need proper testing.

Yes. Our reports are built for Australian compliance. We map findings to the Privacy Act 1988, the Australian Privacy Principles, the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, APRA CPS 234, the ASD Essential Eight, and PCI DSS where it applies. We follow OAIC enforcement actions and ACSC advisories for Australian businesses, and we know what your clients, insurers and regulators will ask you for.

We usually start testing within 5-7 business days of agreeing the scope, and sooner if it is urgent. The scoping call can happen within 48 hours. If you think you have been breached, we run emergency assessments that start within 24 hours. Get in touch and we will work to your timing.

Yes. Melbourne clients can have us walk through the findings in person, at your office or ours. Most people find that easier than a video call once the detail gets technical and there are fixes to plan. In-person meetings cost nothing extra for metro Melbourne clients. Regional Victorian clients can arrange a visit when they need one.

We do not run managed IT ourselves, but we keep a referral network of Melbourne IT providers and managed service providers (MSPs) we trust with security fixes. If you have no IT team of your own, we can point you to a local provider who can do the work. Our reports carry enough detail for any competent IT provider to act on.

Yes. We work with Victorian government departments and agencies. We line our testing up with the ASD Essential Eight and the Victorian Protective Data Security Framework (VPDSF). Our testers hold current Australian government security clearances where they are needed, and we know the extra procurement and reporting steps government clients have to follow.

Melbourne is a top target because so much financial services, healthcare, legal and professional services work is based here. The ACSC reports that Victorian businesses cop more than their share of business email compromise, ransomware and credential theft. The sectors most at risk are legal (property payments intercepted), healthcare (patient data stolen), construction (ransomware through project portals) and professional services (email fraud aimed at accounts payable).

Yes. After the first assessment, we suggest quarterly monitoring at $200/quarter. You get an automatic scan every 90 days, an alert the moment a new vulnerability hits the technology you run, certificate expiry warnings, and a flag whenever your exposed surface changes. Most Melbourne clients move onto it after their first assessment. The first quarterly scan usually turns up new problems that have crept in since the baseline.
