Independent security testing confirms whether your controls work as intended, and helps you prioritise remediation if they do not. Our testing and assessment services help boards, executives and technical teams make informed, risk-based decisions.
years testing for government and enterprise
CREST-accredited through CREST ANZ
Every engagement is delivered by experienced assessors who also deploy and run secure systems, SOC, SIEM and GRC programmes.
Findings come with practical, prioritised remediation guidance, not raw tool output.
From a single web application to a multi-stage red team exercise, choose the test that answers your question.
Controlled, evidence-based testing of your applications, networks, cloud and AI systems by CREST-accredited assessors.
Whether your web applications and APIs withstand targeted attacks on authentication, access control, input handling and business logic.
Whether your internet-facing systems, cloud services and remote access withstand an attack from outside.
Managed or on-demand scanning, with every result analysed by penetration testers rather than delivered raw.
Collaborative, multi-stage red and purple team exercises that calibrate your detection and response.
Our testers use AI for reconnaissance and analysis, for broader coverage and faster turnaround.
Testing chatbots, LLM integrations and AI assistants for prompt injection, data leakage and other AI-specific attacks.
Realistic phishing, smishing and vishing, including MFA-bypassing attacks, measured against real behaviour.
Facilitated incident simulations that test your response plan with executive and technical teams.
Independent maturity assessments across all four maturity levels, with verification and an uplift roadmap.
Assessment against the CIS Controls v8.1 for your target Implementation Group, with a practical roadmap.
Independent, senior and practical, from a team that has been operating for more than 25 years.
Our consultants bring deep technical and governance knowledge from more than 25 years of hands-on security work.
Our advice and services focus on risk, outcomes and evidence, not product sales.
We work with technical and business stakeholders to deliver realistic, sustainable improvements, and we are happy to complement your in-house team.
We understand the regulatory, threat and industry landscape Australian organisations operate in.
A vulnerability scan identifies the potential presence of known weaknesses with automated tools. A penetration test goes further: an assessor validates each finding, attempts exploitation and assesses real business impact. We offer both, and scanning is the first phase of every pen test.
A penetration test targets a defined scope and finds exploitable vulnerabilities within it. Red teaming simulates a motivated attacker across the whole environment to test detection and response. If you have not yet had a penetration test, start there.
At a minimum, annually and after any significant change, such as a major release, a change to authentication or a cloud migration. PCI DSS requires annual testing plus testing after significant changes; higher-risk environments may need more.
Yes, and we prefer that approach. Most clients engage us to complement in-house capability, provide independent review, or supply specialist skills such as penetration testing.
Not sure which test you need? We can advise based on your environment, maturity and compliance obligations.
Every engagement is scoped to answer your question, and delivered by senior assessors.
Practical and experienced Australian ISO 27001 and ISMS consulting services. We will help you to establish, implement and maintain an effective information security management system (ISMS).
dotSec’s penetration tests are conducted by experienced, Australian testers who understand real-world attacks and secure-system development. Clear, actionable recommendations, every time.

Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are critical, protecting web apps and services by inspecting and filtering malicious requests before they reach your servers. Web page or API, a WAF is your first defence.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) reduce password risks, simplify access, letting verified and authorised users reach sensitive systems, services and apps.
dotSec provides comprehensive vulnerability management services. As part of this service, we analyse findings in the context of your specific environment, priorities and threat landscape.
We don’t just test whether users will click a suspicious link — we also run exercises, simulating phishing attacks that are capable of bypassing multi-factor authentication (MFA) protections.
dotSec’s penetration testing services help you identify and reduce technical security risks across your applications, cloud services and internal networks. Clear, actionable recommendations, every time!
