CYBER DEFENCE FROM THE WEST.

Aus Cyber Security started when a Perth IR consultant got tired of flying east for every SMB breach. We built a local team, flat pricing, and plain-language reporting for Western Australian small business.

2019

Founded in Perth after a regional freight ransomware call-out

Why we exist

WHY WE EXIST

Western Australia runs on small business — trades, logistics, professional services, regional suppliers. They cannot afford a Sydney SOC retainer or a 200-page framework deck.

We founded Aus Cyber Security to give WA SMBs the same detection and response capability that enterprise gets — priced for teams of 10 to 100, explained in language a board can act on, and staffed by people who answer the phone in Perth time.

Endpoints monitored

500+

Across Perth metro, Peel, South West, and Mid West

Response SLA

<4 hrs

Perth-based incident response, not a ticket queue

Team size

18

Analysts, IR specialists, and client success — all WA-based

What we stand for

V1

Local first

Perth HQ, on-site across metro and regional WA. No offshore handoff when you are breached.

V2

Plain language

Risk reports your leadership can prioritise. No acronym soup, no fear-selling.

V3

No shelfware

Controls we deploy and monitor — not PDF recommendations that sit in a drawer.

V4

Hours, not days

Incident response SLA under four hours. Because payroll and freight do not wait.

/// OPERATING PRINCIPLE

We do not sell fear. We sell time back — time your business is not offline, not explaining a breach to a client, not rebuilding from scratch.
