Why Businesses Call Us

Most Clients Come
to Us With a Deadline.

Usually it is a contract, an audit or an insurance renewal that will not move until their security is sorted. These are the moments CLAIPS is built for.

📄
A supplier questionnaire landed
The big resource companies ask every supplier to prove their security. We complete the questionnaire and give you the evidence to stay on the approved list.
🛡️
Your insurer wants proof
Insurers now ask for documented controls before they will approve or renew. We put them in place and give your broker the written evidence.
♿
An NDIS audit is coming
Registered providers must show their information is protected. We get you audit-ready, with written controls your auditor will accept.
✅
You just want to be sure
No deadline, but you know you have gaps. We give you a clear picture of where you stand and a simple plan to fix it.

No technical knowledge required. No obligation to proceed. The report belongs to you regardless of what you decide next.

// why_we_show_prices

Our Founder

The Person Who Does
The Work.

I am a Systems and Commissioning Engineer with over 6 years of experience across mission-critical rail signalling, IT infrastructure, and cloud technologies.

I currently work in a high-availability operational environment in Perth, supporting large-scale industrial systems where reliability, safety, and security are non-negotiable.

My background covers complex system testing, commissioning and integration across industrial and IT systems, including Linux servers, networks and cloud platforms.

Previously, I worked on large-scale metro rail projects, performing onboard system installation, communication network testing, and software integration.

This experience, where precision, documentation and compliance are non-negotiable, is the foundation of CLAIPS. I built CLAIPS to bring the security standards big organisations rely on to small and medium businesses.

No outsourcing. No shortcuts. Just proven systems that work.

🚂
Rail & OT Systems
  • CBTC, ATS, train comms systems
  • Static & dynamic testing
  • Commissioning, fault analysis

"The average Perth SMB cannot afford a CISO. But they can afford CLAIPS — and they deserve the same standard of protection that large organisations take for granted."
Pricing

Simple. Transparent.
No Surprises.

Security assessments are a fixed price, so you know exactly what you'll pay before we start. Everything else is scoped and quoted in writing within 2 business days.

Most clients start with a $3,000 assessment. It tells you exactly what needs to be fixed, in priority order, with no obligation to proceed further. The report belongs to you.
