Monitoring live in 72 hours

enterprise grade security operations. without the headcount.

Round the clock threat monitoring, detection and response for Australian small and medium businesses. Run from our security operations centre, so nobody on your team is the one awake at 3am. Operational in 72 hours, not the six to twelve months it takes to build the same thing yourself.

The 24/7 problem

the maths on building it yourself.

Covering a week takes 168 hours. One full time analyst covers about 38 of them. Before you get to tooling, that is the shape of the problem.

What we do

four services, one subscription.

Take the whole stack or start with the piece that is hurting most.

Managed SOC

someone watching, always.

From $4,995 per month ex GST

24/7 monitoring across your endpoints, identities and cloud services. We triage the noise, investigate what matters and escalate to you only when there is something you actually need to decide.

Managed CAVS

find the holes before they do.

From $1,995 per month ex GST

Continuous automated vulnerability scanning. It discovers assets you had forgotten existed, checks them against known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, and reports only on what changed since last time.

Managed Security Services

the everyday controls, run properly.

From $2,995 per month ex GST

Email security, endpoint protection, identity and access, patching visibility. The controls most businesses have bought already but nobody has the time to tune or maintain.

Incident Response

when something does get through.

Retainer from $1,495 per month ex GST

Incident work $2,400 per consultant per day
$1,950 for retainer clients

The retainer buys you a guaranteed response time and a standing block of hours, so nobody is negotiating a contract while an attacker is still inside. It also cuts your day rate, which is where the real saving sits once an incident runs longer than a day or two.

Why now

most businesses call us for one of three reasons.

Rarely because of a breach. Usually because someone else started asking questions.

01

the insurance renewal.

Your cyber policy is up and the questionnaire is asking about monitoring, MFA and patching in a level of detail it never used to. Premiums and excess now hinge on the answers.

02

a customer is asking.

A larger client or a government buyer has sent through a supply chain security requirement, and the contract is contingent on you meeting it.

03

the essential eight.

You have been told you need to hit a maturity level, and you need evidence you are meeting it rather than a promise that you are trying.

How it works

live in three days, not three quarters.

Onboarding is deliberately short. We deploy sensors across your environment, establish what normal looks like for your business, and switch monitoring on. Seventy two hours from signature to a SOC that is actually watching.

Our SOC runs on the same detection and response platform trusted inside Commonwealth agencies, so the capability watching your business is the capability built for environments where the consequences are national. Sized and priced for a business your size.

Where sovereignty is a requirement, we deliver onshore from Canberra with Australian based analysts and your data held in country. If that is a condition of your own contracts or your insurer, raise it early and we will scope it that way from the start.

From there it is a monthly subscription. No capital outlay, no tooling to procure separately, and no hiring.

find out what you are actually exposed to.

A short conversation, no obligation. We will tell you honestly whether you need us yet.
