What's Included

What you'll receive

Our health check gives you four high-level outputs to help frame sensible next steps.

Indicative maturity snapshot

A high-level view of where your organisation sits against Essential Eight controls and key compliance frameworks.

Key risk areas identified

The most critical gaps and exposures in your current environment, prioritised by impact and urgency.

Prioritised next steps

Practical recommendations on where to focus your time and budget for maximum compliance impact.

Compliance framework context

How your current posture maps to DISP, ISM, PSPF, and other frameworks relevant to your sector.

2

Diagnostic conversation

Our consultant reviews the context you can share, talks through key controls, and identifies the areas that would warrant deeper assessment.

3

Receive your findings

Within a week, you'll receive an indicative summary of your cyber security posture with recommended next steps.

Perfect For

Who it's for

This health check is designed for organisations at any stage of their security journey.

Manufacturing SMEs entering defence supply chain

You've heard about DISP and Essential Eight but don't know where to start. This health check gives you a clear starting point and realistic roadmap.

Organisations with compliance deadlines

A contract or tender requires you to demonstrate security maturity. Get an indicative starting point before committing to a formal assessment.

Businesses unsure about their current posture

Your IT provider handles security but you're not confident it meets compliance standards. Get an independent perspective from defence-experienced consultants.

Important Disclaimer

The health check is an indicative review only. It is not a formal assessment, certification, or audit. Findings are high-level and should not be relied upon for compliance decisions without a full assessment. No penetration testing or technical scanning is performed.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the free health check.

Is it really free?

Yes. There's no cost and no obligation. We offer the health check as a way to help organisations understand their cyber security posture and determine whether further support would be valuable. We're not asking for a credit card, and there's no pressure to buy anything.

How long does it take?

There are two steps. The intro call is short — just enough to confirm scope and timing together. The health check itself takes approximately half a day, typically 3-4 hours depending on the size and complexity of your environment. We schedule it on the intro call and work around your team to minimise disruption.

What do I need to prepare?

Not much. We'll review any existing documentation, security policies, or architecture diagrams you have on hand. We don't perform any scanning or penetration testing — our focus is understanding your current environment through conversations with your IT team and key stakeholders. We can work with whatever you've got.

What happens after the health check?

You'll receive an indicative summary within about a week. If further assessment or implementation support makes sense, we'll discuss options — but there's no pressure or obligation to proceed. The health check stands alone as a useful piece of information.

Where do you operate?

We're based in Canberra and primarily work with organisations across ACT, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. Most health checks are delivered remotely with optional video walk-throughs of your environment; we can travel where engagement scope warrants it. If you're outside these regions, reach out — we may be able to arrange alternatives.

Who conducts the health check?

A senior consultant from our team — CISM-certified, AGSVA-cleared, with hands-on experience across federal government and defence environments. You're not getting a junior analyst or a salesperson. You're getting someone with real expertise.
