About
We're small on purpose.
Parade Warrior is a Sydney, Australia cyber consultancy based at Tower One, International Towers, Barangaroo. We work with Australian mid-market businesses and AI-native scale-ups on the cyber problems that actually matter in the agentic era.
We stay small because the work is better that way. Our clients get a senior practitioner, not a graduate with a checklist. Our delivery is AI-augmented, so a team of a few can out-throughput a firm of thirty.
How we work
Productized, fixed price.
Most engagements have a defined scope, deliverable, and price before you sign.
Senior-only.
Every engagement is led by someone with twenty-plus years of practice.
AI-augmented.
We use our own internal agents to draft, map, and validate. You pay for judgement, not typing.
Opinionated.
We'll tell you what we think. If we don't think we're the right fit, we'll say so.
What we believe
- 01The agentic era is going to break more security programs than the cloud era did, faster.
- 02ISO 27001 is necessary and not sufficient. ISO 42001 is becoming both.
- 03Most cyber consulting is sold by the hour because it's hard to quote outcomes. We think that's a tooling problem, not a fundamental one.
- 04Australian mid-market businesses deserve the same quality of security advice as ASX 50 firms — at a price that makes sense for them.
