What is a cyber security audit?
A cyber security audit is a detailed review of your organisation’s systems, policies, infrastructure, and user behaviour to identify vulnerabilities and assess your overall security posture. It includes risk assessment and analysis of protective security policy framework alignment, guided by recommendations in the Australian Signals Directorate’s Information Security Manual.
A well-run audit gives you:
- A clear picture of current cyber security threats
- Expert analysis of weak points in your systems
- Prioritised recommendations based on real-world risks
- Peace of mind that your data and operations are protected
Whether you’re scaling your business or tightening up after rapid growth, a cyber security Brisbane audit helps you build a cyber-resilient foundation and stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.
Why your business needs a cyber security audit
Today’s cyber threats are evolving fast. Without regular audits, even well-managed systems can be exposed to:
- Data breaches that damage customer trust and compliance
- Ransomware attacks that disrupt operations
- Phishing scams that exploit unaware staff
- Outdated infrastructure that creates security gaps
- Cyber security incidents that lead to loss of sensitive data
A cyber security audit helps you:
- Spot security risks before attackers do
- Align with frameworks like the ACSC Essential Eight and information security manual
- Implement effective mitigation strategies
- Improve staff awareness and training
- Protect your intellectual property and revenue from cyber risk
- Build a stronger response to natural disasters and threat actors

Our audit process: What to expect
Our audit follows a simple, thorough process:
Business discovery
We start by understanding the nature of your business, the data you hold, and where it’s stored. This context ensures our recommendations are aligned with your risk profile and operational needs.
Policy and strategy review
We assess the documented policies and procedures that underpin your cyber security strategy. This helps us evaluate how well your organisation is set up to detect, prevent, and respond to threats in accordance with the protective security policy framework.
Security layer assessment
We analyse your environment across four key areas where attacks typically occur:
- Users – password policies, MFA, and user awareness
- Network and servers – firewall settings, system configurations, access controls
- Endpoints – device management, patching, antivirus
- Applications – update practices, permissions, cloud app usage
We measure each area against industry standards and internal policies to assess cyber security maturity.
Report and recommendations
Once the assessment is complete, we compile a comprehensive report outlining your vulnerabilities, areas of concern, and what you can do to mitigate them.
Implementation support (optional)
If you’d like help making improvements, we can assist with technical fixes, staff training, disaster recovery planning, and updating your cyber security roadmap.
