Cyber security · GRC · AI

Make cyber security simple.

Deteqted is a Melbourne cyber security and governance, risk & compliance practice. We help regulated organisations meet their obligations, manage risk, put AI to work on security and build security that lasts.

What we do

Two practices, one team

Governance and hands-on security are usually sold separately. We bring them together, so your policy, your risk register and your controls tell the same story.

AI & frontier models

Put frontier AI to work on security

For three years we have engineered with frontier large language models — Claude, OpenAI, Gemini and Meta — for cyber security. We help organisations automate security testing, operations and GRC with them: safely, measurably, and with a person deciding on the record.

Our product

ControlDesk: cyber GRC that decides before the fact.

ControlDesk is the cyber GRC platform Deteqted built, with native AI governance for mid-market security teams. Risk decisions get made before a vendor is chosen, a contract signed, a system built or an AI model deployed: purpose-built AI does the first pass, a person decides on the record, and every decision lands in one register.

  • One register

    Risks, controls, obligations, findings, evidence, incidents, assets, policies and a decision ledger in one place.

  • AI assessment lenses

    Third-party risk, privacy, maturity, business impact, agreements and AI governance — AI does the first pass, a person decides.

  • Built for Australian rules

    Hosted in AWS Sydney, with APRA CPS 230 and CPS 234 obligation packs, the Australian Privacy Principles and Essential Eight.

  • Connects to your tools

    Cloud posture, identity, endpoint, vulnerability, ticketing and SIEM integrations, plus a REST API and webhooks.
