    Security operations built for councils

    Council IT teams look after large, complex environments, often with small teams. Our Australian-based SOC combines AI investigation with experienced analysts to detect, assess, and contain threats around the clock, including weekends and public holidays.

    ISO 27001And PCI DSS certified, with a SOC 2 report
    100%Australian data sovereignty
    3 minAverage response time
    Every alert investigated

    AI agents investigate incoming alerts, while analysts validate findings, resolve uncertainty, and coordinate escalations. Your team receives clear assessments with supporting evidence and recommended actions.

    Containment within your rules

    Revoke sessions, isolate endpoints, and block malicious activity across connected tools. Agreed permissions, approval requirements, and scope limits govern each response action.

    Proactive threat hunting

    Scheduled and intelligence-led hunts search for credential misuse, persistence, and lateral movement that existing detections may miss.

    Incident response and DFIR

    Containment, forensic investigation, and recovery support are part of the service, with a DFIR retainer included.

    Essential Eight and compliance reporting

    Show councillors, auditors, and executives where your controls stand. Essential Eight monitoring and reporting collects evidence continuously across all eight strategies and flags control drift as it happens.

    Evidence you can share

    Reports on maturity, control gaps, and progress, built from your own operational data.

    Breach readiness

    Eligible data breach detection and Notifiable Data Breaches support under the Privacy Act, with DFIR when you need it.

    Data stays in Australia

    Your data and AI processing stay in Australia, with 100% Australian data sovereignty.

    Move from alert to response, in seconds

    AI agents investigate alerts, add context, and prepare cases for response. Your team gets the evidence to act, with approvals and automation under your control.

    AnalyzeEvery alert, investigated

    Agents investigate every alert across your connected tools, including low-severity signals. They query live data and follow suspicious activity to establish what happened.

    Add contextSee beyond the alert

    Asset details, identity activity, threat intelligence, and previous cases enrich each alert. Evidence from across your tools helps distinguish expected behavior from potential compromise.

    EscalateThe right cases. The right people.

    Suspicious and uncertain findings become cases with clear verdicts, severity, and supporting evidence. Escalations reach the right analysts with recommended next steps ready.

    Attacker actions are recorded in the case, with containment steps prepared in sequence. Revoke sessions, isolate endpoints, and block malicious activity within approved limits or after analyst approval.
