An easy decision.

Our services include:

and more, for the Commercial and Government sector.

Due to the specific nature of threats and countermeasures in Physical Security and in IT/Information Security, organisations frequently focus on only one area or the other. Meanwhile, major remaining threats are ignored or considered "too hard". In the 21st century however, it is critical that organisations address security in both areas - from brick walls to firewalls. As increasingly valuable assets move online, and elsewhere more and more physical security is supported by high technology, Calamity bridges the critical nexus between the physical and online worlds to achieve double protection from end-to-end.

Calamity has an in-depth understanding of these issues, with some of Australia's brightest security consultants, best-of-breed security implementation, manpower and related services. We can provide a true end-to-end security solution.

From guards and guns, to cameras, alarms, firewalls, networks and hackers, Calamity has proven expertise. We have some of Australia's brightest security minds and can deliver best-of-breed security implementation, manpower and related services. Calamity can help your organisation manage risk, and improve business at the same time. Our clients love us for it.

Stopping Intruders in the Real World and Online World

The security of any environment is only as strong as its weakest link. If your business is only protected against half of the threats it faces daily, effectively you are still completely unprotected. For example, there is little advantage having strong firewalls and systems that the world's best hackers and crackers couldn’t penetrate, if somebody could still walk in from the street or follow an employee into your building and steal a laptop or a server and all the information it contained. This happens all the time.

Conversely, having a fortress for an office, with armed guards, cameras and alarms, is worthless if someone on the other side of the world could steal information over your network, often worth far more than the physical assets being protected on-site. That is assuming your guards, cameras and alarms are even working properly. If you are not addressing security from both directions, you have a very weak link.

Physical security managers (who might deal with 'guns, guards and gates') often know little about Information Security (infosec) and IT Security threats. As IT systems are mission-critical to most businesses, any downtime as a result of malicious activity or innocent mistakes by untrained staff, could have catastrophic results on the business' bottom line. Good Information Security practices significantly reduce this risk.

However, top IT and IT-security experts (responsible for servers, firewalls, routers, antivirus) whilst often charged with security responsibility, are seldom experienced in protecting buildings and their occupants against sophisticated criminal enterprise or environmental hazard.

Criminals absolutely recognise these weaknesses and continually go after 'low hanging fruit' - businesses who are not as well protected as their competitors, where there is little chance of being caught or even challenged. Calamity fully understands both physical and information security issues, the unique risks they present, and how to best manage this risk. From technical countermeasures, ethical hacking, hardening of system environments to putting alarms, cameras and guards in your premises, or integrating security enterprise-wide, Calamity will help you manage risk and achieve peace of mind.

New Technology, New Threats

In this century, Information is one of the most valuable assets many companies own, often exceeding the worth of physical objects. Modern customer expectations mean companies are exposing more and more of themselves to the Internet and the outside world via their networks.

This exposure and the massive increase in the number of threats facing modern companies with the speed at which new threats are developed, has resulted in exponential growth of reported security incidents. Locking doors isn't enough any more.

At the same time, physical security technology, from cameras and alarms to biometrics, weapons detection, door controls and building management systems, are now connected to, and managed by, computers and IT networks. If your IT systems aren't up to scratch, online criminals can quite literally open the doors to your company.

However, the 'old risks' have not disappeared either. Calamity fully understands traditional security issues such as theft, vandalism or assault as well as growing challenges such as terrorism, and how to manage these issues effectively.

Managing Risk From Every Direction

Calamity can help you develop and implement systems and ways of doing business which improve security, manage risk and best of all, reduce expense, by protecting all assets, physical or information based.

It is far smarter to proactively discover problems before they hurt you, rather than only find out later - when you have already lost. If you have existing systems, technology, procedures and policies, we can test and measure them to see if you are as well protected as you think and improve them. If you need to develop new ways of addressing risk, we can help your organisation achieve this.

If you are starting out or growing your business and recognise that good security is cheap early, expensive late, we look forward to your call.
