Why dotSec? Here's what our clients say:
How can we help?
Your organisation should have clear processes for the identification and prioritisation of risks and requirements; controls should be implemented in a prioritised order that addresses the identified risks; and control-checks should take place regularly to ensure the controls remain effective. Follow this process and your security journey will progress on-time, on-budget and surprise-free!
dotSec works with organisations to identify and prioritise risks based on operational realities, compliance requirements, and business goals, allowing you to understand where to focus your time and money.
Whether you’re preparing for PCI DSS or ISO 27001 certification, seeking to improve your security maturity, or simply looking to get a clearer view of your exposure, our team can guide you through a structured and defensible risk identification and treatment process.
We have over 25 years of GRC experience, and our team includes PCI DSS QSA and ISO 27001 Lead Implementers. And even if you don’t have compliance and certification needs, we can help you plan your improvements using security frameworks and standards including ACSC Essential 8 and the CIS Critical Controls.
We are ISO 27001 and PCI DSS certified, so we know what it takes to acheive and maintain these standards. Let us work with you help you demonstrate your security maturity to clients, partners and ensurers insurers in the most time and cost-effective way.
Understanding risk is only valuable if you act on it. The next step is to implement practical, risk-based controls – protections that match your business context and risk profile.
DotSec helps organisations deploy and configure the right controls in the right places. From endpoint detection and response (EDR) and SIEM integration to cryptographic control implementation, we tailor every engagement to your real-world needs.
We also address human factors through cyber awareness training, deliver vulnerability management, and system hardening services, and we provide robust incident response capabilities to minimise downtime and damage if something does go wrong.
We focus is on reducing risk efficiently and cost-effectively by ensuring that your controls address your identifies and prioritised risks.
Let us work with you and you’ll have more than just a collection of security products — you’ll have working defenses, aligned with your business risk profile.
Security controls are only valuable if they work — and the only way to know if they work is to test them. Too often, organisations assume that because a control is deployed, it’s effective.
We’ll help you verify the effectiveness of your security controls through rigorous, independent testing.
Our services include penetration tests that target web applications, cloud environments, on-prem and hosted infrastructure, and wireless networks.
We also conduct adversary emulation and social engineering exercises. Our team includes PCI DSS QSA and ISO 27001 Lead assessors so we can also help with the testing that you need for regulatory reporting and internal assurance.
We’ll work with you, not just to find gaps, but to help you to ensure that your risk-management controls are delivering as intended.
In cybersecurity, assumptions aren’t enough; only proof counts.

Sacks of rocks: Lighten your PCI DSS reporting load
OK, an apology to start with: This post
dotSec is a professional cyber security organisation that was founded in 2000. Our idea was simple:
“Help organisations to treat security as a strategic asset, and they will operate with fewer risks and with a more certain budget, attracting more customers and becoming more successful than their more reactive and less strategic competitors.”
Now, with over 25 years of national and international experience behind us, that one idea has allowed us to assist clients across most industry sectors, and across all tiers of government.
