Sentaris is the best kept secret in Cyber Security. Our team of senior professionals are highly experienced and trusted by businesses of all sizes, including many of Australia’s largest companies. We deeply value our clients, and our success is significantly attributed to the word-of-mouth referrals we receive, reflecting our commitment to building strong, lasting relationships.
At Sentaris, we recognise that cyber security isn’t just about technology – it’s about safeguarding your business. Founded in 2015 by Justin Waite, an experienced leader with 16 years of experience in Australia’s largest banks, Sentaris emerged from a critical need for business-focused security services. Justin encountered numerous businesses that lacked a holistic understanding of security risks, particularly in Penetration Testing.
A year later, Frank Virgato joined Sentaris, sharing Justin’s vision. Frank’s background as a senior IT leader further strengthened our ability to view security through a business risk lens.
Justin and Frank lead Sentaris as business partners, guiding some of Australia’s largest companies toward robust security solutions.
Today, Sentaris has employees across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane who are dedicated to serving clients nationally and internationally. We’ve expanded our range of Security Services beyond Penetration Testing to better meet the needs of our clients and leverage the expertise of our staff. Despite our broad service offering, we remain committed to our vision of delivering high-quality, business-focused solutions.
We believe that collaboration is the key to achieving the best results for our clients when testing in agile environments. We take pride in creating a supportive atmosphere where both technical and non-technical team members work together seamlessly to deliver the best results possible.
Sentaris uses a risk-based, business-focused approach for all of our services. We aim to deliver consistent, practical and positive results for our clients through a simple three-step process:
Our risk-based approach involves closely collaborating with clients to understand their business and specific risks, enabling our consultants to identify and prioritise the most critical areas. This results in tailored advice and practical recommendations that reduce real-world business risks while keeping security costs low.
Our collaborative approach means we work closely with our clients from start to finish. We deliver results that not only meet but exceed expectations by tailoring our services to each client’s unique needs.
We use a project-oriented approach based on industry standards to ensure that our deliverables are provided on time, meet quality standards, and are completed in the most effective and efficient manner possible, all while minimising business disruptions for our clients.
