Nano Solutions provides independent cyber security audits for Australian businesses and government — a clear, prioritised assessment of your applications, cloud and infrastructure, benchmarked against the Essential Eight and the ISM. Established 2013, Fremantle-based, a WA Government CUAICTS2021 ICT panel supplier (Contractor #225). We don't stop at the report — the same team can fix what we find.

What a cyber security audit is

A cyber security audit is an independent review of your security posture — applications, cloud, infrastructure, identity, backups and processes — measured against a recognised baseline such as the Essential Eight or the ISM. It gives you a prioritised, honest picture of where the real risks are and what to do about them, rather than a vague sense that "security needs attention".

What our audit covers

  • Identity & access — accounts, privileges and multi-factor authentication coverage.
  • Patching & application control — how quickly known vulnerabilities are closed and what can run.
  • Cloud & server configuration — exposure, hardening and secure defaults across your environment.
  • Backups, logging & monitoring — whether you could detect and recover from an incident.
  • Application security — the state of the software your business depends on.

Audit, then actually remediate

Because we're a delivery team, the same engineers who audit your environment can do the remediation — patching, MFA, hardening, backups and monitoring — then re-audit to confirm the gaps are closed. You go from assessment to resolved with one accountable team, instead of handing a list of problems to someone else.

Audit vs penetration testing

An audit is a broad, posture-level review across your whole environment and processes; a penetration test is a deep, hands-on attempt to exploit specific systems. Many clients start with an audit to see the whole picture, then commission penetration testing on the highest-risk targets it surfaces.

Local, and built for Australian organisations

As a WA Government CUAICTS2021 panel supplier, we audit the exact systems these obligations apply to, for government agencies, mining and community-services providers across Perth and WA — with Australian-resident engineers and Australian data sovereignty.

Typical investment

  • Independent security audit: from $4,500 for a focused environment.
  • Remediation & re-audit: scoped from the report.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cyber security audit?

A cyber security audit is an independent review of an organisation's security posture — its applications, cloud, infrastructure, identity, backups and processes — measured against a recognised baseline such as the Essential Eight or the ISM. It produces a prioritised picture of where the real risks are and what to do about them.

What does Nano's security audit cover?

Identity and access (including MFA), patching and application control, cloud and server configuration, backups and recovery, logging and monitoring, and application security — benchmarked against the Essential Eight and, where relevant, the ISM. You get a clear report with risks ranked and a costed remediation roadmap.

How is a security audit different from a penetration test?

An audit is a broad, posture-level review across your whole environment and processes against a baseline; a penetration test is a deep, hands-on attempt to exploit specific systems. Many clients start with an audit to see the whole picture, then commission penetration testing on the highest-risk targets.

Do you fix the issues the audit finds?

Yes. The same team that audits your environment can do the remediation — patching, MFA, hardening, backups and monitoring — and re-audit to confirm the gaps are closed. Assessment to resolved, with one accountable team.

How much does a security audit cost?

Independent security audits start from $4,500 fixed for a focused environment, scaling with the number of applications and systems in scope. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute scoping call.
