Penetration Testing Sydney
CyberCTRL delivers external and Grey Box penetration testing for Sydney businesses from $1,550 ex GST, with a defensible PDF report in your inbox within a day. We are Australian-owned and operated, with our company NAP registered in Sydney and infrastructure hosted in AWS Asia Pacific (Sydney).
Whether you run a fintech in the CBD, a legal practice in North Sydney, an e-commerce platform out of Surry Hills, or a SaaS product serving NSW government, the scoping process is the same: configure your domain, website and external IPs, click Start, and receive an audit-ready report aligned to the ASD Information Security Manual and OWASP.
What Sydney businesses need from a penetration test
Sydney is the headquarters of Australia's financial services sector and the country's most concentrated fintech and SaaS market. Practically every Sydney business of any scale is touching APRA CPS 234, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or PCI DSS, and is being asked by enterprise customers or insurers to prove that someone has actually tested their internet-facing systems within the last twelve months.
For NSW government suppliers and panellists, the NSW Cyber Security Policy sets a baseline expectation that agencies and their vendors maintain demonstrable cyber security controls. For financial services firms regulated by APRA, CPS 234 explicitly requires regular testing of information security control effectiveness. CyberCTRL reports give you the dated, methodology-disclosed, CVSS-scored evidence those frameworks expect, in the format auditors are used to seeing.
The traditional path is a $20k+ engagement with a 4-to-6 week wait. That doesn't suit a growing fintech that ships weekly, a legal or accounting firm renewing professional indemnity cover, or a Sydney SME running an e-commerce site that needs evidence before a contract is awarded. We do the methodical part in a day so your team can spend their time on the fix, not chasing quotes.

FAQ
Do you have an office in Sydney?
CyberCTRL is Australian-owned and operated, with our company NAP registered in Sydney. 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.
How quickly can I get a Sydney-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 APRA CPS 234 and NSW Cyber Security Policy 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. Auditors and procurement teams accept them as evidence for APRA CPS 234, ISO 27001, SOC 2, the NSW Cyber Security Policy, 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.
