With compliance a prerequisite to survival, more businesses are turning to specialist IT consultants for security advice and assistance.

Through our Professional Security Services solution – part of the managed security portfolio – Telstra provides access to a professional IT security consulting service. This is designed to help you fully test your systems, detect any vulnerabilities and ensure you comply with relevant security standards.

Independent security advice and verification is assured through our partnership with Integralis, a leading global provider of IT security services. Our consultants are highly experienced experts in this field, with in-depth knowledge of industry standards such as ISO/IEC 27001. As well as helping you gain an understanding of the scope and requirements of applicable standards, we work with you to identify any additional security measures needed for compliance.

With new IT vulnerabilities emerging daily, Telstra’s security consulting service includes regular or ad-hoc vulnerability assessments to check your perimeters for weaknesses. Findings can be viewed immediately via the online customer portal.

Through rigorous manual testing our IT consultants can also perform probing penetration tests in an attempt to ‘hack’ into your security systems and networks. If we succeed, we will then advise you as to how to make them more secure.
