Penetration Testing Brisbane
CyberCTRL delivers external and Grey Box penetration testing for Brisbane businesses from $1,550 ex GST, with a defensible PDF report in your inbox within a day. We are Australian-owned and operated, and all platform infrastructure runs in AWS Asia Pacific (Sydney) so your data stays in Australia.
Whether you supply the Bowen Basin mining sector, run a healthcare practice or allied health platform, sit on a Queensland Government supplier panel, or operate an agribusiness or logistics SaaS out of South East Queensland, the scoping process is the same: configure your domain, website and external IPs, click Start, and receive a report aligned to the ASD Information Security Manual and OWASP.
What Brisbane businesses need from a penetration test
Brisbane sits at the centre of Queensland's mining services, government services, healthcare and agribusiness economy. Brisbane businesses being asked for penetration test evidence typically respond to one of three pressures: a prime contractor in the resources sector running a supplier risk uplift, a Queensland Government procurement process, or a healthcare or insurance customer demanding documented testing of an internet-facing platform.
For Queensland Government suppliers, IS18 (the Queensland Government information security policy) and the Queensland Government Cyber Security Unit set baseline expectations for security controls and evidence of testing. Healthcare providers handling personal health information have Privacy Act and My Health Records Act obligations. CyberCTRL reports give you the dated, methodology-disclosed, CVSS-scored evidence those frameworks expect, in the format auditors and prime contractors recognise.
The traditional path is a $20k+ engagement with a 4-to-6 week wait. That doesn't suit a Brisbane allied health platform chasing My Health Record connectivity, a mining services supplier responding to a tier-one client's risk questionnaire, or a Fortitude Valley SaaS startup needing evidence before a contract renewal. We do the methodical part in a day so your team can spend their time on the fix.

FAQ
Do you have an office in Brisbane?
CyberCTRL is Australian-owned and operated. The engagement itself is fully remote: we test your internet-facing infrastructure from AWS Sydney. No travel costs, no scheduling delays, no on-site visits required for Brisbane or wider Queensland customers.
How quickly can I get a Brisbane-based test started?
Sign up, complete payment, configure scope (your domain, website, and up to 10 external IP addresses), then click Start. The active scan typically runs 60 minutes to 2 hours, with the finished PDF report delivered within a day. No quote cycles, no scoping calls.
Will the report support Queensland Government IS18 and Cyber Security Unit evidence?
Yes. Reports are aligned to the ASD Information Security Manual and the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide, and include CVSS scores, reference URLs, and methodology disclosure. They support evidence for Queensland Government IS18 information security policy, the Queensland Government Cyber Security Unit, plus APRA CPS 234, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and Essential Eight Maturity Model uplift work.
What if my systems are hosted overseas?
Geography of the target doesn't matter. We test any internet-reachable infrastructure regardless of where it's hosted. Your account data, scan results, and PDF reports remain in AWS Sydney and never leave Australian jurisdiction.
