Questions agencies ask first.
Are your assessors PROTECTED-cleared?
Yes. Our IRAP assessors hold current Australian Government security clearances up to PROTECTED, and can be cleared further on an engagement basis where required.
Where is the SOC hosted?
Inside AWS Australia (ap-southeast-2 and ap-southeast-4). All data, playbooks and personnel remain onshore and subject only to Australian law.
Do you support multi-agency or shared service arrangements?
Yes. We operate shared-service security capabilities for clusters of smaller agencies and local councils, with per-tenant segregation and per-agency reporting.
Can you map findings directly to ISM controls?
Every finding references the relevant ISM control identifier, and can be exported directly into agency GRC tooling.
