DotSec delivers practical cyber security services that help Australian organisations protect their information assets, meet regulatory obligations, and reduce business risk. Our senior consultants work with your technical and leadership teams to assess risk, strengthen controls, detect malicious activity, and respond effectively when incidents occur.
Whether you need independent penetration testing, managed security monitoring, support for Essential Eight or ISO 27001, or help navigating PCI DSS, DotSec provides specialist security expertise from a team that has been operating for more than 25 years.
Independent penetration testing provides an objective view of your security posture by safely identifying vulnerabilities before attackers do.
DotSec’s senior testing team will manage the assessment of your network, application, cloud and mobile environments, helping you understand real-world risk and prioritise remediation based on impact.
We work closely with your team to ensure findings are clearly explained, actionable, and aligned with your risk appetite and business objectives.
Detecting and responding to security incidents requires more than tools. DotSec provides managed SOC, SIEM and MDR services that combine expert monitoring, alert triage, investigation and reporting. Clients gain increased visibility across their environment and improved confidence that potential threats will be identified and managed appropriately.
Our managed service supports internal IT and security teams by reducing noise, improving detection quality, and providing independent assurance that potential attacks are not being overlooked.
Misconfigured systems remain one of the most common causes of compromise. DotSec helps organisations define, implement and verify secure configuration standards across Windows, Linux, macOS, M365, cloud platforms and mobile devices. Our approach aligns with recognised benchmarks and frameworks while remaining sensitive to operational requirements.
We help you standardise security controls, reduce attack surface, and maintain ongoing assurance through measurement and review.
