We are not reselling a product line dressed up as advice. Our recommendations follow your risk profile, not our commercials. If you do not need a penetration test, we will tell you and explain what would actually move the needle.

Senior cybersecurity consultants do the work, not juniors with a slide deck. CREST-certified penetration testers, ISO 27001 lead auditors, OSCP, CISSP, SABSA and CISA holders sit at your table from day one.

Every Cliffside engagement starts with a vendor-neutral evaluation. Our flagship Lighthouse Assessment delivers transferable findings you can take to any provider. No lock-in, no upsell.

We tell Australian organisations what they actually need, not what we want to sell. Assessment first, recommendations second, even when honesty costs us revenue.

Cliffside is an Australian cybersecurity consultancy headquartered in Sydney. We deliver brutally honest cybersecurity advice to boards, CISOs and security leaders across energy, financial services, government and critical infrastructure.

We exist because the cybersecurity industry has a trust problem. Vendors diagnose problems that conveniently match their service catalogue. Large consulting firms sell senior expertise then deliver juniors. Every assessment somehow recommends the assessor's own products. Cliffside is the antidote: assessment first, recommendations second, even when honesty costs us revenue.

What we do

We help Australian organisations operate at the intersection of security, compliance and pragmatism. Our six practice areas cover Strategy and Architecture, Compliance and Audits, Cloud Security (AWS, Azure, M365), Managed Services (SOC, awareness training, vendor risk), Security Testing and Assurance, and Secure AI and Automation.

Our flagship is the Lighthouse Assessment, a vendor-neutral security evaluation with transferable findings. You can take the results to any provider. No lock-in. No upsell.
