Identity is the new perimeter
Most breaches we see don't start with malware — they start with a stolen login and weak MFA. The cheapest control with the biggest payoff is still phishing-resistant authentication on every account.
Continuous monitoring, threat hunting and incident response for Australia's most regulated businesses — and the sovereign, secure foundation for the AI you're about to run.
Around-the-clock monitoring across endpoints, identity and cloud, with proactive threat hunting and rapid human response when something fires — so threats are found and contained, not discovered in the post-mortem.
When it happens, we're the call you make first. Rapid containment, forensic evidence packs, and a clear account of what occurred — with the documentation your insurer and regulator will demand.
Tenant hardening, conditional access, email authentication and the controls that pass an audit. We close the gaps mapped to the frameworks your industry answers to — and prove it on paper.
APRA CPS 234 obligations, payment data, and fraud exposure — defended and evidenced to the standard your regulator expects.
Patient and participant data carries privacy obligations and real human stakes. We protect it and keep the audit trail clean.
Your clients' confidential data is your reputation. A breach is a trust event, not just an IT event — we treat it that way.
Winning and keeping public-sector work increasingly means provable Essential Eight maturity. We get you there and keep you there.
High-value payments make you a prime target for business email compromise. We close the gaps attackers exploit for invoice fraud.
Too big to ignore, too lean for a security team. We are your security team — enterprise-grade defence, sized to you.
The Essential Eight is the Australian Signals Directorate's security baseline — eight mitigation strategies, scored across four maturity levels (ML0–ML3).
Most businesses assume they're at Level One. Most are at Level Zero on at least one control. And winning government and enterprise work increasingly means proving your maturity, not asserting it.
QROM assesses your real maturity across all eight, closes the gaps in priority order, and hands you the evidence to show an auditor, board or insurer.
Only approved applications are allowed to run.
Known-exploited app vulnerabilities patched fast.
Macros blocked or tightly restricted by default.
Browsers and Office locked down; risky content blocked.
Admin rights limited to those who need them, and reviewed.
Critical OS vulnerabilities patched on a tight clock.
Phishing-resistant MFA on every account that matters.
Backed up, isolated, and restore-tested — not assumed.
Maturity-level descriptions are summarised. QROM aligns to the ACSC Essential Eight Maturity Model and presents findings as advisory; we are not an accredited assessment body.
QROM detected the anomalous sign-in pattern, confirmed the business email compromise, and contained it before a fraudulent invoice could be paid — isolating the account, expelling the attacker, and preserving forensic evidence.
We then hardened the tenant so it couldn't recur: enforced conditional access and MFA, fixed email authentication (DKIM, DMARC, SPF), and stood up a break-glass admin account with monitoring on top.

Every model, prompt pathway and data pipeline you stand up is a new way in — and a new question your auditor will ask. QROM extends the same discipline that protects your network to the AI running on top of it.
Sovereign by default. Inference and data stay onshore. Governance, access controls and audit trails are built in, not bolted on — so the AI you run can survive the same scrutiny everything else in your estate does.
That's QuietTango — our AI practice. Secure, audit-ready, sovereign AI for regulated businesses: strategy, readiness audits and production deployment. QROM secures it; QuietTango builds it. One partnership, both sides of the line.
Meet QuietTango →We've been defending Australian businesses since 2018 — through real breaches, real incident response, and real audits.
That track record is the point. When the spend lands on someone's desk to justify, bringing in the partner your security already runs through is the defensible call — before an incident, and especially after one.
Onshore. Always on. Specialist, not generalist.
Most breaches we see don't start with malware — they start with a stolen login and weak MFA. The cheapest control with the biggest payoff is still phishing-resistant authentication on every account.
Business email compromise quietly costs Australian firms more than ransomware. Attackers watch, wait, and redirect a single payment. Email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and payment-change verification stop most of it.
Every model and data pipeline you add is new attack surface and a new audit question. Treat AI like any other production system: access controls, logging, and data that stays onshore.
A fixed-scope assessment of your real exposure — external attack surface, identity and access, endpoint coverage, email and cloud configuration — measured against the Essential Eight and the frameworks your industry answers to. You get a board-ready report with what's exploitable now, your indicative Essential Eight maturity level, quick wins, and a prioritised fix-it order. (See "The security review" above for the full picture.)
Yes. We're built for the organisations too big to ignore security but too lean for a full in-house team. You get enterprise-grade defence sized to you, not a tool you have to run yourself.
Onshore. Australian data sovereignty is a default, not an upgrade — your detection data and any AI infrastructure stay in Australia.
That's core to what we do. We assess your current maturity, close the gaps with concrete hardening, and produce the evidence your auditor, board or insurer needs.
We're the call you make first. Rapid containment, forensic investigation, recovery, and the documentation your insurer and regulator will require — handled with the goal of telling your stakeholders before anyone else does.
A fixed-scope assessment — not a sales call. We examine what an attacker would: your external attack surface, identity and access, endpoint coverage, email authentication, backups, and your maturity across all eight Essential Eight controls.
You leave with a board-ready report — what's exploitable now, your indicative Essential Eight maturity, the quick wins, and a prioritised plan to close the gaps. Fixed fee, fixed scope, no surprises.
We confirm boundaries, access and what matters most to you. You get a fixed fee and a clear scope before anything starts.
We test what's actually exploitable and measure your maturity across all eight Essential Eight controls — evidence, not assumptions.
A board-ready report: what's exposed now, your indicative maturity level, quick wins, and a prioritised plan to close the gaps.
Start with a security review — pick a time and we'll show you where you stand, what's exposed, and what to fix first.
