Why Cipher Projects

Built for how the Sunshine Coast actually operates

Perfect Time Zone Overlap

AEST (GMT+10)

Sunshine Coast 11am-4pm equals Vietnam 8am-1pm

Daily standups that work for both teams. Same-day communication every business day.

Local Sunshine Coast Understanding

Aligned to Sunshine Coast environments that hold sensitive clinical, aged-care and operational data around the Sunshine Coast Health Precinct, plus food and agribusiness systems across hinterland producers and regional supply chains, where Essential Eight, privacy obligations and incident response cannot wait for a vacant headcount

We understand Australian business culture and Sunshine Coast's unique requirements.

Australian Legal Framework

Australian contracts. Invoiced from Australia. Legal comfort for your CFO and board.

Full compliance with Australian business standards and expectations.

AI Capabilities

Security that uses AI — and secures it too

We bring AI into detection and triage, and we make sure the AI tools your teams adopt don't open new holes.

AI-assisted threat detection

Behavioural analytics across logs and cloud events to flag anomalies faster than rules alone.

Automated vulnerability management

Continuous scanning, triage and prioritisation so the highest-risk findings close first.

Secure AI adoption

Guardrails, access control and audit on the AI tools your teams are already using.

Cloud security posture

Continuous CSPM across AWS, Azure and GCP with policy-as-code.

The old way

A backlog of vulnerabilities and no one on the Coast to own them

The Cipher way

A dedicated team closing them, sprint by sprint
