In cybersecurity, knowing where you stand is half the battle. DotSec will work with you to uncover and prioritise your organisation’s risks based on operational realities, compliance requirements, and business goals.
We conduct structured assessments aligned with recognised standards — ISO 27001, PCI DSS, the CIS Critical Controls, or the ACSC Essential Eight — helping you identify systemic weaknesses, scope compliance efforts, and make confident, risk-informed decisions.
No silver bullets. No guesswork. Just clear identification and prioritisation of risk.
dotSec’s team includes ISO 27001 lead implementers and lead assessors. dotSec is also ISO 27001 certified so our assessors stand out apart assessors from other Australian ISO 27001 certified companies: Our assessors have walked the compliance walk; they don’t just talk about it!
We work closely with clients to build and maintain functioning ISMS frameworks that support ISO 27001 compliance and prepare organisations for successful ISO 27001 certification, reassuring your clients and business partners who prioritise cybersecurity and risk governance
DotSec stands out among other PCI DSS companies: We’re not just a PCI DSS company, we’re also a PCI DSS-compliant service provider. That means you can be confident that our Australian PCI DSS assessors have firsthand experience achieving and maintaining compliance with this demanding standard.
We’ve walked the PCI DSS compliance walk, not just talked about it, so we understand the unique challenges businesses face in meeting the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard requirements, particularly under Australian regulatory expectations.
A Capability Maturity Assessment measures how well your security processes and controls are designed, managed, and improved over time, helping you benchmark against standards and build a roadmap for improvement.
Our assessments are generally (depending on customer requirements; the NIST CSF is another option) conducted with reference to selected controls from IT security frameworks and guidelines such as the CIS Critical Security Controls (v8.1), ISO/IEC 27002:2022, and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), but the NIST CSF and ASCS Essential Eight are also useful in some circumstances.
A Cyber Security Tabletop Exercises (TTXs) is a highly interactive and engaging activity, that is designed to test your organisation’s incident response plan, capabilities and processes.
A TTX provides a safe and controlled environment for the organisation to practise it’s incident detection, containment and response strategies, and identify areas of weakness that need to be addressed.
By conducting TTXs, your organisation can test it’s incident response strategies and practices, without the interruption and cost associated with an adversary emulation test.

Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are critical for protecting web applications and services, by inspecting and filtering out malicious requests before they reach your web servers
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. And 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.
