DPI Consulting TA as AuthNTICK has been operating since 2014. We operate multiple lines of business, including application development, systems integration and professional services. Nevertheless, our primary focus is on integrating secure development practices as part of a lean-agile system development process.
Our consulting clients have included Australia’s major national and international banks, the Department of Defence and the Australian Federal Police. As one of Australia’s specialist cybersecurity consulting firms, DPI Consulting has provided security consulting and implementation services for the public and private sectors. We are Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) partners and participate in Traffic Light Protocol programs.
We are presently working in the Department of Defence as a subcontractor delivering cybersecurity projects. Based on this work, we provide high-quality solutions at competitive prices. Our key competitive advantage is our capacity to complete design and development cycles, whilst meeting key non-functional requirements, in much shorter time periods than is presently experienced in the Department of Defence.
