Penetration Testing Perth
CyberCTRL delivers external and Grey Box penetration testing for Perth 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 Pilbara mining operators, run an oil and gas services platform, sit on a WA Government supplier panel, or operate a SaaS or e-commerce business out of West Perth or Subiaco, 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. No flights, no time-zone scheduling games.
What Perth businesses need from a penetration test
Perth is the operational and corporate hub for Australia's mining, energy and resources sector. Perth businesses being asked for penetration test evidence are usually responding to one of three pressures: a tier-one resources client running a supplier cyber uplift, a WA Government procurement or panel requirement, or an enterprise customer's vendor risk questionnaire that won't move forward without a dated, methodology-disclosed report.
For WA Government suppliers, the WA Cyber Security Centre and the WA Government Digital Strategy set baseline security and supply-chain expectations, including documented testing of public-facing services. For mining and resources suppliers, prime contractors are increasingly mandating Essential Eight Maturity Model evidence in their tier-2 and tier-3 supply chain. CyberCTRL reports give you that evidence in the format auditors, the WA Cyber Security Centre, and prime contractors recognise.
The traditional path is a $20k+ engagement, a 4-to-6 week wait, and often the awkward question of whether the consultant has to fly across the country. None of that suits a Perth oil and gas services supplier responding to a tier-one risk questionnaire, a Subiaco SaaS startup chasing a SOC 2 deadline, or a WA Government panellist needing evidence before a contract renewal. We do the methodical part in a day. Distance from the eastern states is irrelevant.

FAQ
Do you have an office in Perth?
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 Perth or wider Western Australian customers.
How quickly can I get a Perth-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. The time zone difference doesn't slow you down because the platform runs around the clock.
Will the report support WA Cyber Security Centre and WA government procurement 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 the WA Cyber Security Centre, WA Government Digital Strategy and procurement security standards, 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.
