Dedicated To Your Protection
Information Security best practices are part of our culture, not an optional service
How are we different?
People
We believe personality and a genuine desire to want to help others is the most important quality in every person we employ. Soft skills can’t be easily taught, whereas if the individual has the passion and the desire, they can learn anything. You will love working with our team, because they are regular, down to earth human beings, who you can hold a normal conversation with, who won’t look at their shoes as they ask you where the server room is, and don’t get “all weird” about social interaction.
Experience
Our goal is to make technology your friend, to make it easy, and to make it work. With nearly 20 years in business, we have worked for businesses of all shapes and sizes, varying industries, locations and even countries! We have tinkered, hacked and played with solutions of all shapes and sizes. As a result, we know what works, what’s reliable, and what businesses with 5 to 500 employees need to operate efficiently.
Creativity
Our team love to think outside the box and over the years have found ingenious ways to deliver exceptional results for our clients. We understand that no two businesses are the same. We consider your needs, your people, your strategic objectives and of course your budget. Our team love a challenge and we push, innovative and challenge the norm - even when others say its impossible!

The Beginning
David (then 22) founded Insane Technologies after obtaining a contract to support a Gold Coast superannuation administration firm. The firm had been plagued with viruses and David was engaged to clean the environment and implement new servers and security.
Village Roadshow Studios
Through a series of projects for Village Roadshow Theme Parks, Insane Technologies was contracted to build a web portal for then Movie World Studios. This engagement turned into the development of our proprietary Network Access Control (NAC) solution "NetShepherd" - which allowed studio administration to securely manage the network for film & tv productions working out of the facility.
Cyber Security Awareness
David and the team started running workshops for clients, business owners and managers to educate them on emerging cyber threats.
Australian Computer Society
Insane Technologies won an award by the Australian Computer Society for the category of "Small Teams Skills Transformation" for introducing information security and privacy law training into our career development program - providing our SMB clients with skilled IT professionals who understood privacy and security.
Cyber Insurance Industry
As a by-product of the exposure created by the Australian Computer Society award, we were introduced to the cyber insurance industry. This lead to an engagement by a major UK based insurer to provider cyber incident response services to their Australian insured as part of a "follow the sun" panel of cyber experts.
