Decision-first scoping
Before a single test runs, we agree the decision the output will change — invest, divest, accept, fix. Lot Fourteen engagements without a named decision-maker don't get past scoping. That discipline keeps work focused.
Managed Detection & Response in Lot Fourteen — built for the cyber sector that drives the region. Managed detection and response with our engineers operating inside your stack — your SIEM, your EDR, your cloud — with engineering-grade detections, escalation that respects your on-call, and exit-friendly knowledge transfer.
The cyber, space, defence concentration around Lot Fourteen sees targeted intrusion, supply chain abuse against client tooling and analyst-credential theft. Our managed detection & response work in SA / Adelaide cyber and space precinct is scoped against this real threat profile, not a generic checklist.
Every finding ships with a control reference against ASD Essential Eight and SOCI Act, with ACSC guidance cited where it changes the remediation priority. Board reporting follows the APRA CPS 234 expectation set.
Basalt delivers managed detection & response to organisations across Lot Fourteen and the wider SA / Adelaide cyber and space precinct region (population ~2k). The cyber, space, defence sectors that anchor the region face a distinct threat profile — targeted intrusion, supply chain abuse against client tooling and analyst-credential theft — and our engagements are scoped to that, not a generic playbook. Reporting maps cleanly to the ASD Essential Eight and SOCI Act that Australian boards already use, with regulator context (ACSC) called out where it changes a remediation priority.
Before a single test runs, we agree the decision the output will change — invest, divest, accept, fix. Lot Fourteen engagements without a named decision-maker don't get past scoping. That discipline keeps work focused.
Every finding is tagged against ASD Essential Eight and SOCI Act controls with ACSC guidance cited where it shifts a remediation priority. Your compliance team stops re-mapping our reports.
Managed Detection & Response doesn't end at the report. Basalt's Lot Fourteen clients run retainer reviews on a quarterly cadence so the security posture compounds rather than drifting back six months after the engagement.
Cyber security in Australia can't be done with last year's threat models. The Basalt practice runs against current attacker tradecraft — agentic AI abuse, MCP and AI-tool supply chain, post-quantum readiness — alongside the legacy infrastructure work that still keeps most organisations awake at night.
Most Lot Fourteen engagements scope inside one week and start within two. Retainer clients can trigger work the same day. We do not pipeline Australian clients through junior teams — a senior consultant scopes and runs the work end-to-end.
Both. Sensitive work — classified-adjacent environments, live incident response, OT walkthroughs — gets on-site time in Lot Fourteen and the wider SA / Adelaide cyber and space precinct region. Routine assessments and detection engineering run remote with a tight feedback loop.
Every finding ships with a control reference against the ASD Essential Eight and SOCI Act so your compliance team is not re-mapping our report. Where ACSC guidance exists for the specific finding, we cite it inline. Board-level reporting follows the APRA CPS 234 expectation set.
The cyber sector concentration in Lot Fourteen drives a different threat model than a generic Australian engagement — targeted intrusion, supply chain abuse against client tooling and analyst-credential theft. Our scoping reflects that, and so does the test library we bring to the work.
Yes — this is core to how we work. Basalt actively researches and tests against agentic AI tool-abuse and indirect prompt injection at scale, MCP server and AI-tool supply chain compromise and identity-first attack chains across federated SaaS. Most regional providers haven't mapped these attack paths; we run them in production against client systems with explicit scope.
