Penetration Testing Services Australia | ACSC & IRAP Compliant

Penetration testing services Australia protect your critical infrastructure against cyber threats while meeting ACSC Essential Eight, IRAP, and Privacy Act 1988 requirements. Techtweek Infotech delivers authorised security assessments with data residency in ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) and ap-southeast-4 (Melbourne), ensuring your Australian business stays compliant and resilient.

ACSC Essential Eight & IRAP-Aligned Penetration Testing

The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) Essential Eight mitigation strategies form the backbone of Australian security governance. Our penetration testing engagements directly validate your implementation of Application Whitelisting, Patch Management, and Administrative Privileges controls—the three hardest to perfect. We perform adversary simulation across your networks, applications, and cloud infrastructure (AWS ap-southeast-2 and ap-southeast-4 regions) to expose gaps before attackers do.

For IRAP-assessed agencies and organisations pursuing ASD certification, we conduct penetration testing as part of your baseline assessment and annual re-certification cycles. Our team understands ISM controls and Australian Government security classification markings. Typical engagement cost: A$8,500–A$45,000 depending on scope and environment complexity.

Privacy Act 1988 & APPs Compliance Through Security Testing

The Privacy Act 1988, administered by the OAIC, requires Australian Privacy Principle 1 (APP 1: Open and transparent management) and APP 11 (Security of personal information). Penetration testing demonstrates your due diligence in protecting customer and employee data. We test your data handling workflows, database access controls, and encryption implementations to confirm compliance.

Whether you operate in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or Perth, we test your compliance posture across internal systems and cloud deployments. Our reports directly support your Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) and demonstrate reasonable security safeguards to the OAIC if incidents occur.

APRA CPS 234 & Financial Services Security Assessments

If you’re an authorised deposit-taking institution or financial services licensee under APRA CPS 234, penetration testing is a core component of your security testing and assurance framework. We conduct targeted assessments of your customer-facing platforms, payment systems, and internal networks to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before external threat actors do.

Our testing aligns with APRA’s requirement for at least annual external penetration testing. Costs typically range A$12,000–A$60,000 depending on system complexity and regulatory scope. We operate from AWS regions in Sydney and Melbourne, ensuring data sovereignty and rapid remediation support during business hours.
