Questions

Common questions.

Can you work alongside our existing IT provider?

Yes. We can take responsibility for your full environment, or focus on security, integration and automation while your current provider continues day-to-day support.

What does onboarding involve?

We begin with a discovery review of your devices, accounts, software and risks. We then agree a scope and roadmap with you before any changes are made.

What size of business do you support?

Small and medium businesses that need structured IT management, stronger security, or both.

Where are you based?

Covenant Defence is based in Ballarat, Victoria, and supports organisations across Australia. Services are delivered remotely, with on-site work arranged where required.

What should we do if we suspect a breach?

Contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will assess the situation, help contain the threat and guide your recovery.

What does a security assessment include?

An independent review of your environment from an attacker's perspective. We identify vulnerabilities, validate your existing controls and provide a prioritised remediation plan.
