Penetration Testing Advisory
This service enables you to seek guidance on penetration testing including test scope recommendations, and review and advice on post-engagement deliverables such as findings and recommendation reports.
This is a whole-of-government advisory service for penetration testing activities.
Pre-engagement
The Cyber Defence Centre will work with you and provide guidance on your penetration testing activities. This includes completing pre-engagement documentation for existing Standing Offer Arrangements for Queensland Government penetration testing services, such as Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMRICT 18097).
Post-engagement
The Cyber Defence Centre will provide advice when reviewing your post-engagement deliverables. This may include assisting stakeholders when interpreting the findings and recommendations in the report to ensure identified risks can be managed effectively.
