We help small and medium-sized businesses across Australia take a clear-eyed, proactive approach to cybersecurity. No jargon, no fear - just real visibility into your risk, and a practical path to strengthening your defences.
Whether you have an in-house IT team or an external provider, there's a structural challenge that almost every SMB faces - the people responsible for your security are also the people assessing whether it's good enough.
Skilled professionals - but asking a team to assess their own work creates a blind spot. Gaps in coverage are genuinely difficult to see from the inside.
MSPs and consultants are often certified vendor partners with commercial incentives. The advice you receive may be shaped by more than just your needs.
Leadership ends up with a security picture written by the people responsible for it. That's not governance - it's delegation.
Risk-based vulnerability management goes beyond traditional scanning. It's about understanding your unique risk profile and taking targeted action.
Focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most. By prioritising real risk, you strengthen the areas that make the biggest difference to your business.
Direct your time, budget, and team effort where it counts. RBVM helps you work strategically, not reactively - getting more value from every dollar spent.
Understand the risk behind each vulnerability so you can make confident, data-driven decisions about where to invest in your security infrastructure.
Demonstrate your commitment to frameworks like the ACSC Essential Eight and SMB1001, supporting compliance and building trust with customers, partners and your supply chain.
Show customers, partners, and stakeholders that you take cybersecurity seriously. A proactive approach builds confidence and gives you a competitive edge.
Proactively addressing vulnerabilities is far more cost-effective than dealing with the fallout from a breach - lost revenue, legal fees, and reputational damage.
Our RBVM service aligns to the standards that matter most for Australian businesses - giving you a clear path from risk to resilience.

In four clear steps, we shine a spotlight on your real risk and guide you towards practical remediation.
We work with your team to deploy agents and scanners across your infrastructure, so risk has nowhere to hide. Our approach is thorough but non-disruptive to your daily operations.
Using a combination of active scanners, agents, passive network monitoring, cloud connectors, and integrations, we achieve maximum coverage - reducing blind spots and giving you a clear picture of your entire environment.
We identify vulnerabilities including software flaws, missing patches, malware, and misconfigurations. Our analysis goes deep into your IT setup to surface the risks that truly matter.
We meet monthly to deliver actionable reports that prioritise remediation based on real risk. Progress reports keep all stakeholders informed and confident in the direction you're heading.
VMAAS (Vulnerability Management as a Service) Australia was founded in late 2022 by two IT veterans - Adam Burgess and Simon Greenwood.
Adam brings immense experience designing, integrating, deploying, and protecting large enterprise networks. Simon comes from the managed technology space and has worked to design, build, scale, and secure businesses of all sizes across all sectors in the APAC region for decades.
Together, they bring over 50 years of real-world experience and have worked alongside each other for close to 20 years. The conversations about risk kept getting louder - not enough was being done to simplify what had become a minefield of complexity and cost for the average business.
VMAAS was forged to change that.
Our founders bring decades of hands-on experience across enterprise networking, managed services, and cybersecurity.
We're based in Townsville and Brisbane, but we're happy to work wherever you are across Australia.
We built VMAAS specifically to make risk-based vulnerability management accessible and affordable for small and medium-sized businesses.
"Since adopting risk-based vulnerability management, our organisation has experienced a significant improvement in our overall security posture. We're now able to identify and remediate high-risk vulnerabilities much faster than before."
