Affordable security validation that satisfies insurers and protects citizens
Local councils are increasingly targeted by ransomware operators and face growing pressure from cyber liability insurers to demonstrate security controls. NodeZero provides cost-effective continuous testing that replaces expensive annual pentesting engagements and provides the evidence insurers demand.
Your specific challenges
Ransomware is an existential threat
Australian councils have been hit by ransomware repeatedly. Service disruption affecting rates, waste, libraries, and community services has immediate citizen impact.
Insurance demands evidence
Cyber liability insurers are increasingly requiring penetration testing evidence before issuing or renewing policies. Without it, premiums increase or coverage is denied.
Limited budgets and expertise
Most councils run small IT teams on tight cyber budgets. Consulting pentests costing tens of thousands of dollars per engagement are unaffordable at any regular cadence.
Built for your situation
Cost-effective continuous testing
Autonomous pentesting is estimated at 50-70% lower cost than equivalent consulting pentesting — with unlimited re-testing via Quick Verify.
Insurance-ready evidence
NodeZero reports provide the penetration-testing evidence cyber insurers ask for at policy issue and renewal.
Ransomware resilience validation
Segmentation testing validates whether ransomware could spread from one compromised system across your entire council network. Prove containment works before an incident.
