IT Security Services
We run our own business on the same security we sell. When we tell you something is safe, we’re trusting our own data to it every day. Every client gets that standard, backed by a CISO on our team.
The Security Questions Keeping Owners Up At Night
Most cyber attacks on Australian businesses start small: someone opens a convincing email, or a laptop misses last month’s security update, and an attacker finds a way in.
We often hear these concerns from businesses looking at IT security services, and have years of experience dealing with all cyber security issues.
Staff using AI tools with no policy?
We write your AI use policy and set up approved tools with access permissions to keep client data private.
Worried about threats lurking in your systems?
Our onshore team monitors your environment 24/7 and isolates infected devices before an attack can spread.
Uncertain about an upcoming compliance audit?
We measure your environment against relevant industry standards, close any gaps, and prep your documentation.
How exposed are you through vendors?
We review and secure every connection third parties have into your systems.

We Know Where Your Industry Is Exposed
Professional Services
Law and accounting firms are prime targets for email fraud, with criminals posing as clients or partners to redirect trust account and settlement funds. Every matter carries confidentiality obligations, and AML/CTF rules now add verification and record-keeping duties.
We ensure:
- Payment verification and email controls around trust account transfers
- Matter-level access, so staff open only the files they work on
- Secure client portals for sharing documents and tax records
- AML/CTF identity verification and record-keeping controls
Wholesale, Logistics & Distribution
Distributors rely on systems that are connected around the clock, from warehouse scanners to supplier EDI feeds. One compromised connection can halt dispatch, and each acquisition brings in systems with an unknown history.
We set up:
- Security for EDI links and supplier portals
- Network segmentation that separates warehouse devices from office systems
- Monitoring and support that cover overnight and weekend shifts
- Recovery plans built around your warehouse management and ERP systems
The People Behind Your Protection
We Lead By Example
We run our tech stack on the same security controls and setup we deploy for clients. Every tool we recommend protects our own data first, so we know how it behaves and how to run it properly.
Onshore & Sovereign
We’re fully Australian-owned, and our entire team works onshore. Client data is hosted in Australian data centres, and every support call and security alert is handled by our own people.
Genuine In-House CISO
Our vCISO is a permanent member of the Networx team, and clients work with them directly. They lead assessments, audit preparation, and set the security direction for every client environment.

We’ve been looking after Australian businesses since 2000, and most of our top 20 clients have been with us for more than ten years. Much of our growth has come from their referrals, which comes from a team that answers the phone and speaks plainly about what needs fixing.
If you want a cyber security service provider you can stay with for the long term, book a consultation. You’ll meet the people who will look after your business and leave with a clear plan for your next twelve months.
IT Security Services: Frequently Asked Questions
Cyber security services protect your business’s systems and data from cyber attacks. They cover 24/7 monitoring, threat response, compliance, data loss prevention, and staff training.
The most effective approach is ongoing: a provider looks after your environment continuously and steps in the moment something looks wrong. As a Sydney IT security services company, Networx delivers this as one managed service, run by an onshore team with a CISO on staff.
The cost of cyber security services depends mainly on how many people and devices you need to protect, and which standards you need to meet.
Networx charges a fixed monthly fee per user for managed IT security, so your costs stay predictable as you grow. Most clients start with a security assessment, which gives them a costed roadmap before committing to anything ongoing.
An MSP (managed service provider) runs your day-to-day IT, such as devices, networks, Microsoft 365, and user support. An MSSP (managed security service provider) specialises in security, including threat monitoring, incident response, and compliance.
Many businesses end up with one of each, which means two providers and gaps where their responsibilities meet. Networx covers both with one team. The engineers who manage your systems work alongside the security team watching them, all led by our in-house CISO.
Incident response is a serious part of our cyber security management. If something goes wrong, the process runs like this:
- Detect. Our 24/7 monitoring flags suspicious activity, and an onshore engineer reviews it straight away.
- Contain. We isolate affected devices and accounts to stop the attack spreading.
- Notify you. Your nominated contact hears from a person, followed by regular updates until the incident is closed.
- Investigate. Our CISO leads the work to find how the attacker got in and removes their access.
- Recover. We restore affected systems from tested backups and confirm everything is working before handing back.
- Report and harden. You receive an incident report, help with reporting obligations such as the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, and the fixes needed to stop it happening again.
