Cybersecurity Perth that never leaves the site.

Perth is the operational heart of Australia's mining and resources sector, and that shapes its cyber risk profile like nowhere else. The resources companies, engineering firms and FIFO service providers based here are high-value targets — for ransomware crews who know a halted operation bleeds money by the hour, for competitors and nation-state actors after commercial and geological intellectual property, and for attackers probing the operational technology that runs remote sites. Unlike a typical office, a Perth mining operation blends corporate IT with industrial control systems and SCADA on sites hundreds of kilometres away, and where those two worlds connect is exactly where the most serious, safety-critical risk lives.

Perth operators increasingly fall under the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act, which covers energy, mining, ports, water and data-storage assets. Where it applies, SOCI imposes real obligations: a formal risk-management program, mandatory reporting of serious cyber incidents to the Australian Signals Directorate, and register-of-assets duties, with directors accountable for compliance. Alongside it, resources procurement now routinely demands ISO 27001 certification and demonstrated Essential Eight maturity from contractors and suppliers. We help Perth businesses understand whether SOCI captures them, meet its requirements pragmatically, and produce the security evidence that primes and government now expect before they will sign.

We build security for Perth's distributed, safety-first operations. That starts with an audit against the Essential Eight and, critically, a hard look at where corporate IT meets operational technology — segregating the two so an email compromise can never reach a control system. We secure remote access for FIFO crews and far-flung sites, harden identities and backups, and run penetration testing where it matters. Because operations run around the clock and Perth sits two hours behind the eastern states, we build incident-response plans and support that work on AWST time, not someone else's.
