Credentials

operating since 2022. thirty years of experience behind it.

We have been doing this work since 2022. What is new is the packaging: taking capability built for agencies and energy majors and making it affordable for a business with fifty to five hundred staff. Here is the record it rests on.

Who is behind it

thirty years of this, before bench cyber existed.

Bench Cyber came together during the pandemic, when a group of people who had spent their careers running security operations inside federal agencies and global energy companies decided to do it under one banner. Three decades of detection engineering, SIEM and SOAR deployment and managed threat response, in places where a missed alert is a national headline rather than an internal one.

Australian federal government

SIEM, SOAR and managed threat response inside central agencies, the parliamentary network and line departments, all operating under the ISM and the Essential Eight. The frameworks now turning up in your supplier contracts are ones we have been working to for years.

Global energy and utilities

Security operations across North American oil, gas and power. Environments combining corporate IT with operational technology, where the consequence of a detection failure is measured in more than data.

Delivered by Bench Cyber, with reference rights granted at the time. These were consulting engagements rather than managed SOC subscriptions, and we draw that distinction ourselves because it is the sort of thing worth being precise about.

What that actually means

the capability is proven. the managed service is new.

Those are two different things and it is worth separating them, because plenty of firms blur the line deliberately.

The platform
24/7

built for environments where the consequences are national.

The detection and response platform behind our SOC is deployed inside Commonwealth agencies, a major automotive manufacturer, universities and health services. Those are not our customers. They are the standard the platform is built to meet, and it is the same platform watching your network.

Delivery
72h

from signature to a soc that is watching.

Sensors deployed, a baseline established for your environment, monitoring live. Three days, not the six to twelve months it takes to stand up the same thing internally.

Sovereignty

onshore when you need it.

Where sovereignty is a contractual or insurance requirement, we deliver onshore from Canberra with your data held in country.

Scale

sized for fifty to five hundred staff.

We do not chase enterprise accounts and then squeeze the offering down. It is built for businesses your size from the start.

Commercials

Every figure is published. No price on application, no discovery call required before you can find out whether you can afford us.

one thing you will not find here.

Logos. The platform behind our SOC has an impressive deployment history, but those organisations are customers of the people who built it, not of us. Borrowing them would look good and tell you nothing about the service you would actually receive.

ask us the hard questions.

Including who runs the SOC, where it operates, and what we can prove. We will answer all three.
