Independent AI advisory for Australian boards and leadership teams. We help you separate what works from what's being sold, and see what becomes possible when you get it right.
You get a senior AI security practitioner focused entirely on your business challenges. No junior consultants. No pre-built slide decks. No vendor commissions. We test what we recommend because we run our own AI lab.
Most engagements deliver a written output within weeks, not months. You walk away with something your board can act on.
Deep assessment of your AI readiness, maturity, and team capability. Delivered as a board presentation or written Briefing Note your leadership can act on.
Review vendor proposals and claims before you sign. We test what they're promising against what's technically deliverable.
Diagnose stuck pilots. Stress-test RAG pipelines and agentic workflows. Go/no-go recommendation for your steering committee.
Map your AI use cases against APRA CPS 230, DTA, and ASIC requirements. Build the framework before the deadline, not after.
Fractional AI leadership. We attend your risk committees, challenge vendor proposals, and track regulatory changes on an ongoing basis.
Local inference architecture for sensitive workloads. Zero data leakage, verified processing paths, true sovereignty. Not a marketing claim.
Technical analysis, regulatory context, and practical guidance. Informed by hands-on R&D.
A practical framework for catching bias at every stage of AI-assisted decision making. Six checks that force honest evaluation of AI output, and why the discomfort of seeking disconfirmation is the foundation of creative AI use.
The Australian Government banned DeepSeek for a reason. But the risk isn't one app. It's every AI tool your staff are using without your knowledge, and every prompt that sends your data somewhere you can't control.
The known risks of AI are real and manageable. The harder part is building the human understanding to use it well. A realistic look at failure modes, unexpected discoveries, and why the learning matters more than the technology.
28 years in cybersecurity and cyber-intelligence. Six years of applied AI research, qualified under the Australian R&D Tax Incentive. Every engagement led personally. Every recommendation tested on our own infrastructure before it reaches yours.
