SECURE AI.
SECURE EVERYTHING.
AI-first cybersecurity consulting. We help Australian businesses navigate the AI revolution securely — backed by deep foundations in traditional cyber.
AI is moving faster than most security can keep up.
That's the gap we close.
AI-FIRST.
CYBER
ALWAYS.
The world is moving to AI. Most businesses are flying blind — adopting tools they don't understand, with risks they can't see. Atomic Cyber exists to change that.
We lead with AI security consulting and back it up with deep-rooted traditional cyber expertise. From ISO 42001 readiness to NIST assessments and incident response — we've got the full stack covered.
AI-FIRST
We lead with AI risk, governance, and strategy — it's not an add-on, it's the focus.
CYBER ROOTS
Built on deep foundations in traditional cybersecurity consulting.
LOCAL
Melbourne-based. Focused on securing Australian businesses for the AI era.
INDEPENDENT
Fully vendor-neutral advice. We recommend what's right for you — not what pays us a commission.
SERVICES
AI security at the top. Traditional cyber at the base. A full-stack consulting model built for where the market is heading.
SECURE AI CONSULTING
Navigate the AI revolution without getting burned. We assess your AI adoption, identify risks across your supply chain, and build governance frameworks that let you move fast and stay secure.
AI RISK ASSESSMENTS
Comprehensive risk assessments for AI systems — from third-party tools to in-house models. We identify exposure, bias risk, data leakage, and supply chain vulnerabilities.
ISO 42001 — AI READY
Get ahead of the curve with ISO 42001 readiness. We guide you through the AI management system standard — from gap analysis to implementation and audit prep.
AI LITERACY
Cut through the hype and the fear. We walk your team through the unknown — simplifying complex AI concepts, killing the FUD, and painting a realistic picture of what's actually possible (and what's not).
NIST CYBER ASSESSMENTS
We benchmark your security posture against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework — identifying gaps, prioritising risks, and giving you a clear path forward.
SECURITY STRATEGY
A custom security roadmap built for your stage, stack, and budget. We align security with your business goals so you're not just compliant — you're confident.
INCIDENT RESPONSE STRATEGY
Don't wait for a breach to figure out your plan. We build and refine your IR playbooks so your team knows exactly what to do when it matters most.
PENTEST PROGRAMS & STRATEGY
We design and manage ongoing penetration testing programs — scoping, scheduling, vendor coordination, and translating findings into action.
TABLETOP EXERCISES
Realistic, scenario-based exercises that stress-test your response capabilities. We facilitate sessions that expose weaknesses before a real incident does.
HOW WE WORK.
No theatre. No padding. No junior consultants cutting their teeth on your business. From the first call you're working directly with the people doing the work — and we get straight into what actually matters.
Get in the room
A direct conversation, not a sales funnel. Senior people, your real problems, on the table from day one. We work out what genuinely needs solving — and we'll tell you straight if you don't need us yet.
Do the work, with you
We embed alongside your team, not above it — sitting with the people who actually run your systems. Hands-on assessment against the frameworks that matter to you (ISO 42001, NIST CSF 2.0, Essential Eight), translated into findings you can act on, not a 90-page PDF nobody opens.
Leave you stronger
Board-ready deliverables and a team that genuinely understands them. Roadmaps, playbooks and policies built to be owned by you — not to keep you on a retainer. We've done our job when you're measurably harder to compromise.
MEET THE TEAM.
Senior practitioners who speak business — not buzzwords. Every engagement is led by people who've done the work.
ZANE
Built Atomic Cyber to cut through the noise. Years in cyber and AI — now helping Australian businesses secure their future without the corporate theatre.
CAROLINA
The force behind the Atomic Cyber brand. Runs marketing, events, and client experience — making sure the way we show up matches the work we deliver.
OPS
Keeps the engine running. Engineering background with a knack for making sure things actually get done — on time, on scope, no drama.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT.
We're new — and we're not going to pretend otherwise with a wall of stock quotes. Here's what we hold ourselves to instead.
Senior people, every time
The people on your first call are the people doing the work. No bait-and-switch, no quietly handing your engagement to juniors once the contract's signed.
Advice with no agenda
We don't resell products or take vendor commissions. What we recommend is what we'd do in your seat — nothing more, nothing you don't need.
Plain English, always
No fear-mongering, no jargon, no shelfware. Findings you can act on and explain to your board in a single sentence.
We tell you the truth
Including when you don't need us, when the fix is cheaper than you feared, or when the honest answer isn't the one you were hoping for.
FRAMEWORKS WE WORK WITH.
Australian regulatory context mapped to practical work — not checkbox compliance theatre.
A certification-ready AI management system — from gap analysis through to audit prep.
A maturity-scored security roadmap with your biggest gaps prioritised first.
A maturity uplift plan aligned to current ACSC guidance.
Incident response playbooks with OAIC breach-notification readiness built in.
Practical guardrails mapped to your current stage of AI adoption.
NEWS & THINKING.
Our take on what's happening in cyber, AI, and the Australian security landscape.
Running AI Without Governance Isn't Innovation. It's Debt.
The security bill for Australia's AI pilot obsession is coming. $142 billion in projected value — but who's pricing the risk? Shadow AI, ungoverned agents, and the retrofitting problem nobody wants to talk about.
