Cyber Smart Defence

Cyber Smart Defence is a security testing firm that grew out of a web development company. Clients began asking the developers to check and secure their systems, and the business turned that work into a specialist service.

It says it audited newly built systems before handing them over, then hired trained security engineers as clients became more security-aware. This lets it assess systems objectively.
