Hobart cyber security
Penetration testing and compliance for Tasmanian businesses, without the mainland travel premium.
We specialise in cyber security services
What drives security spending in Hobart. Tasmania is a small market with some unusually specialised parts. Antarctic and Southern Ocean science, aquaculture and food export, tourism, and a state government and health system serving a widely dispersed population. Renewable energy generation and the Basslink interconnector add a critical infrastructure dimension considerably larger than the state's population would suggest.
The frameworks that come up most.
- ISO 27001 where you sell into mainland enterprise or export, because it is the credential offshore buyers actually recognise.
- Security of Critical Infrastructure Act for energy generation, transmission and port operators, with obligations tightened by the 2025 amendments.
- ASD Essential Eight as a practical baseline, particularly for Tasmanian Government suppliers.
- SOC 2 for the small but real technology sector, especially anyone selling into the United States.
- Cyber Security Act 2024 ransomware payment reporting, in force since 30 May 2025 for businesses over $3 million turnover, with a 72 hour deadline.
The practical reality for Tasmanian businesses. Specialist security capability is thin on the ground here, which is why most Tasmanian organisations buy from the mainland. That is entirely sensible, but check what you are actually paying for. External network, web application, API and cloud penetration testing are performed remotely regardless of where the tester is sitting. If a quote includes flights and accommodation for work that does not require anyone to be in the room, ask why.
CREST Accredited Penetration Testing in Hobart
Siege Cyber is a CREST-accredited company for penetration testing. The accreditation is assessed and held at company level and is verifiable on the CREST member register. In Hobart that matters because the market is small enough that most organisations buy testing rarely, and accreditation is the simplest way to tell a real penetration test from an automated scan with a cover page.
What we actually do. Penetration testing across web applications, APIs, networks and cloud, and fixed-price compliance programmes reaching ISO 27001 certification at month five or SOC 2 Type 1 at month four. We are Brisbane based, we work with Tasmanian clients remotely, and the people who run your test are the people who write your report and take your questions afterwards.
Partnering with Managed Service Providers (MSP)
We partner with other cyber security organisations, such as MSPs, Resellers, Cyber Insurance providers, Consultants and Compliance professionals to maximise their cyber security capabilities and protect their clients.
By building relationships with our partners, we are able to better understand and service their clients' need. Our partners can trust that their clients receive the industry-best cyber security services from Australia's leading cyber security experts.

testing methodologies
Cyber Security Testing Methods to Suit Hobart Businesses.
Most Tasmanian scopes are external network, web application and cloud testing, all of which are performed remotely regardless of where the tester sits. We will tell you plainly on the rare occasion a scope genuinely needs someone on the island, which is mostly wireless and physical assessment work.
