Penetration testing services for Brisbane organisations
Brisbane businesses get the full range of penetration testing services: web application and API testing, external infrastructure, internal and Active Directory assessments, mobile applications and wireless. Every engagement is a fixed price quoted from your scope, and ends with a prioritised, evidence-backed report, a free remediation retest, and a letter of attestation for clients, partners and auditors.

Built for Queensland: government, resources, and a city that's building
Queensland government agencies and their suppliers face real security assurance expectations — we scope and report against the Essential Eight and IRAP without overstating what a single test proves. Brisbane's resources and energy sector brings a different problem: corporate networks one hop from operational environments, where an internal test must verify segmentation actually holds — not just that the diagram says so. And the buildout ahead of Brisbane 2032 — venues, transport, digital infrastructure — means new suppliers, new attack surface, and SOCI Act obligations for critical infrastructure operators.
Remote-first delivery, on-site in Brisbane when it matters
Web application, external infrastructure and mobile engagements run fully remote — it mirrors how real attackers operate and keeps your fixed price on testing time, not travel. Wireless testing is always on-site at your Brisbane premises; radio doesn't travel over a VPN. Internal testing runs via a pre-configured VPN implant device shipped to your office, a jump host you provide, or on-site — the same manual, senior-led exploitation either way.
Compliance-driven testing: CPS 234, PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and more
Most Brisbane organisations call us with a framework behind the request. We scope and report against the one you answer to — the Essential Eight, ISO 27001, SOC 2, APRA CPS 234, PCI DSS, IRAP, the SOCI Act and ST4S — and map every finding to the control it affects. PCI DSS 11.4 requires penetration testing at least annually for in-scope entities; APRA CPS 234 requires regulated entities to test the effectiveness of their information-security controls. Full detail: penetration testing for Australian compliance.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a penetration test cost in Brisbane?
Every engagement is fixed-price, quoted up front from your scope — the applications, IP ranges, users and depth of testing. A firm number before testing starts, free remediation retest included.
Do you have a Brisbane office?
No — and we won't pretend otherwise. Core Sentinel is based at Governor Phillip Tower, 1 Farrer Place, Sydney NSW 2000, and works Australia-wide. Most testing is remote; wireless is always on-site at your Brisbane premises, and internal testing runs via a shipped VPN implant device, a jump host, or on-site.
How often should we run a penetration test?
Annual testing is the common baseline, plus after any significant change — a new application, major release or infrastructure migration. Some frameworks set the cadence: PCI DSS 11.4 requires testing at least annually for in-scope entities. Either way, the free remediation retest is included.
