Engagement Models

DingoSec offers a small set of engagement models that reflect how most clients actually work: short, focused projects; retainers for advice and incident response; and longer-term partnership for Essential 8 and platform work.

Fixed-Scope Projects

Clearly defined pieces of work with an agreed outcome and price.

  • Microsoft 365 security baseline review and uplift.
  • Firewall ruleset clean-up and documentation.
  • Targeted Essential 8 gap assessment and roadmap.

Time & Materials / Contracting

For organisations that need a security engineer embedded into a project or team.

  • Short-term backfill for security engineering roles.
  • Support for large migrations or acquisitions.
  • Hands-on tuning of existing tools and platforms.

Advisory Retainer

Light-weight ongoing engagement for questions, design reviews, and incident response support.

  • Monthly or quarterly check-ins.
  • On-call guidance for incidents and investigations.
  • Review of proposed changes and architectures.

Essential 8 Program Support

Support for organisations that need to build and maintain an Essential 8 programme.
