Professional security assessments, compliance support, and strategic cyber risk management for Australian organisations

Cyber security is no longer optional for Australian businesses. With increasing regulatory expectations, sophisticated attack vectors, and the costly consequences of data breaches, organisations need more than just firewalls and antivirus software.

Joomstore provides independent, practical cyber security consulting services tailored to the operational realities of Australian businesses. Our approach is grounded in decades of experience securing web infrastructure, managing compliance obligations, and building defences that actually work in the real world.

We help you understand your risk landscape, meet compliance requirements, and implement security controls that are proportionate, sustainable, and effective.

Why Organisations Engage Cyber Security Consultants

Most organisations don't have full-time cyber security staff, but still need to:

• Understand their actual security posture and risk exposure
• Meet compliance obligations (Essential Eight, APRA, Privacy Act, GDPR, PCI-DSS, etc.)
• Identify vulnerabilities before attackers do
• Build security strategies that align with business objectives
• Respond effectively to security incidents
• Prepare for cyber insurance requirements or vendor security questionnaires

This is where independent cyber security consulting provides clarity, capability, and confidence.

Our Cyber Security Consulting Services

1. Security Assessments & Vulnerability Testing

We conduct thorough security assessments of your digital infrastructure to identify weaknesses before they're exploited:

• External vulnerability scanning: Identifying internet-facing vulnerabilities in websites, servers, and network infrastructure
• Web application security testing: Manual and automated testing of custom applications, CMS platforms, and third-party integrations
• Configuration audits: Reviewing server configurations, access controls, and security settings
• Security posture reviews: Comprehensive assessment of your overall security maturity and risk exposure

All findings are documented with clear risk ratings, remediation guidance, and timelines for resolution.

2. Compliance & Framework Implementation

We help organisations meet their security compliance obligations through practical, evidence-based implementation:

• Essential Eight alignment: Mapping current controls against ACSC's Essential Eight framework and closing gaps
• Privacy Act compliance: Supporting Australian Privacy Principles (APP) obligations, particularly around data security
• Industry-specific requirements: APRA CPS 234, PCI-DSS for payment handling, GDPR for international operations
• Cyber insurance readiness: Ensuring your security controls meet insurer expectations

We don't impose unnecessary overhead. Our approach is to implement what's proportionate, defensible, and sustainable for your organisation.

3. Incident Response & Breach Management

If something goes wrong, rapid, coordinated response is critical:

• Incident triage and containment: Immediate response to suspected breaches or security events
• Forensic investigation: Determining what happened, what was accessed, and how the breach occurred
• Remediation and recovery: Restoring systems securely and closing the attack vector
• Notification support: Guidance on legal obligations under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme
• Post-incident review: Lessons learned and security improvements to prevent recurrence

We've managed breaches for organisations across Australia, often working alongside legal counsel and forensic specialists where required.

4. Security Strategy & Risk Management

Beyond technical controls, effective cyber security requires strategic thinking:

• Cyber risk assessments: Identifying your critical assets, threat landscape, and risk appetite
• Security roadmaps: Multi-year plans for maturing security capabilities in line with business growth
• Third-party risk management: Evaluating the security posture of vendors, suppliers, and service providers
• Board and executive reporting: Translating technical risk into language that supports decision-making

We help leadership teams understand where security investment is needed and why.

5. Secure Development & DevSecOps Support

For organisations building or maintaining custom software, we provide security guidance throughout the development lifecycle:

• Secure architecture review: Evaluating design decisions before code is written
• Code review and static analysis: Identifying security flaws in application code
• Penetration testing: Simulating real-world attacks against applications pre-launch
• DevSecOps integration: Embedding security controls into CI/CD pipelines

Security built in from the start is always more effective than security bolted on later.

6. Security Training & Awareness

Your people are often your first line of defence—or your greatest vulnerability:

• Security awareness training: Practical, role-appropriate training for staff on phishing, passwords, and safe computing
• Technical team upskilling: Training developers and IT teams on secure coding, configuration, and threat detection
• Executive briefings: Translating cyber risk for boards and leadership teams

Effective security culture starts with understanding, not just compliance.

Who We Work With

Our cyber security consulting services are designed for Australian organisations that need practical, experienced guidance:

• SMEs and mid-market businesses without dedicated security teams
• Professional services firms (legal, accounting, advisory) managing sensitive client data
• Not-for-profits and community organisations with limited IT budgets but real security obligations
• Government contractors required to meet PSPF or Protected-level security controls
• E-commerce and SaaS providers handling customer data or payment information

If you're responsible for protecting digital assets, customer data, or business systems, we can help.
