Nano Solutions provides independent penetration testing for Australian businesses and government — web applications, APIs, cloud and infrastructure, aligned to the OWASP Top 10 and ASVS. Established 2013, Fremantle-based, a WA Government CUAICTS2021 ICT panel supplier (Contractor #225). We don't just hand you a report — the same team can remediate what we find.
What penetration testing is
A penetration test is an authorised, simulated attack on your systems by a security specialist, designed to find and safely exploit vulnerabilities before a real attacker does. Unlike an automated scan, a human validates and chains the findings to show genuine real-world impact — then you get a prioritised report of what was found, how serious it is, and exactly how to fix it.
What we test
- Web applications & APIs — authentication, access control, injection and business-logic flaws, assessed against the OWASP Top 10 and OWASP ASVS.
- Cloud environments — AWS, Azure, GCP and private cloud configuration, identity and exposure.
- Network & server infrastructure — external and internal exposure, hardening gaps and lateral-movement paths.
- Government systems — testing mapped to the ISM controls where classified or government data is in scope.
We fix the findings, not just list them
Most penetration testing firms stop at the report. Because we're a delivery team, the same engineers can do the remediation — code fixes, patching, hardening and config changes — then retest to confirm the issues are closed. You go from report to resolved with one accountable team, instead of relaying findings to a separate developer.
Local, and built for Australian government and regulated industries
As a WA Government CUAICTS2021 panel supplier, we test the exact systems these obligations apply to, for government agencies, mining and community-services providers. Australian-resident engineers, Australian data sovereignty, and 13 years securing production systems.
Typical investment
- Penetration test: from $5,000, scoped to applications, user roles and environments.
- Remediation & retest: scoped from the findings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is penetration testing?
Penetration testing is an authorised, simulated attack against your systems — web applications, APIs, cloud or network — by a security specialist, to find and safely exploit vulnerabilities before a real attacker does. The output is a prioritised report of what was found, how serious it is, and how to fix it.
What does Nano penetration test?
Web applications and APIs, cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP and private cloud), and network and server infrastructure. Testing is aligned to the OWASP Top 10 and OWASP ASVS, and to the ISM controls where government systems are in scope.
Do you just report, or do you fix the findings?
Both. Unlike testing-only firms, the same team can remediate what we find — patching, code fixes, hardening and config changes — then retest to confirm the issues are closed. You go from report to resolved with one team.
How is a penetration test different from a vulnerability scan?
A vulnerability scan is automated and lists potential issues; a penetration test is performed by a human who validates, chains and safely exploits those issues to show real-world impact. We use scanning as an input, then test by hand to cut the false positives and prove what actually matters.
How much does a penetration test cost?
Penetration testing engagements start from around $5,000 and are scoped to the size and complexity of the target — number of applications, user roles, and environments. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute scoping call.
