LGA Cyber Security

Security run and priced for Australian councils.

Security built for councils.

Built for councils dealing with ageing systems, small IT teams and strict privacy rules. You can start with one of three free assessments: vulnerability scanning, a zero trust workshop or security control mapping. After that, we run ongoing SIEM monitoring from our Australian SOC.

LGA Cyber Security

The security challenges councils share.

Councils across Australia face day-to-day and structural problems that weaken their security.

We know these problems well. We have helped organisations across Australia with their security for many years, and that includes several local councils.

  • Ageing infrastructure

    Old systems and software need to be replaced or retired. Security patches are out of date. Weak spots go unfound until an attacker uses them.

  • IT admin gaps

    Security policies and standards are not applied the same way everywhere. Systems and devices are open to hacking, and endpoint defence is thin.

  • Data privacy and compliance

    Councils store more and more personal data. They need rules for how data is used and stored, and they must comply with privacy law.

Three free assessments for councils.

Each assessment is available to LGAs at no cost. Choose the one that best suits your council's needs.

Least time commitment

Vulnerability scanning

We scan up to five internet-facing URLs or IP addresses.

  • A report of every vulnerability found
  • Recommendations to fix each one
Least time commitment

Zero trust workshop

We find areas of implicit trust in the way information flows across your networks, apps, data and cloud.

  • A summary report of areas that need adjustment
  • A prioritised list of next steps to strengthen your security

Security control mapping

We highlight the usual areas of weakness in your controls and show their impact on risk.

  • Guidance on measuring and addressing key threat areas
  • Covers exfiltration, malware, system compromise, unauthorised access, ransomware and more

A dedicated security operations centre for councils.

Our Australian SOC runs on IBM QRadar. It gives councils SIEM and security monitoring, so they can see their security status in real time and act on new threats faster. Where a council has gaps in its cover, we can add proven security tools to close them.

Services for local government.

Vectra is an Australian owned cyber security company. We work with federal, state and local government. We support many councils across Australia, including the largest LGA in the country, and we built our managed security suite for them.
