What I do

Fixed-price services, built for small teams.

Most "AI consultants" just resell a ChatGPT login. I build private AI that runs on your own premises, and I check your security the way an attacker would look at it — then hand you a plain report.

Does your privacy policy mention AI yet?

From 10 December 2026, Australian privacy law requires businesses to disclose when a computer program makes, or substantially helps make, decisions that significantly affect people. If you use AI to screen applicants, tenants or claims, your policy likely needs updating. I'll tell you plainly whether it applies to you — and point you to a privacy lawyer for the wording.
