Who Is Affinity MSP?

Affinity MSP is an Australian-owned and operated managed security provider (MSP) headquartered in Mount Waverley, Victoria. We specialise in helping Australian small and medium businesses protect their digital infrastructure from cyber threats through proactive security assessments, managed security services, and incident response.

Our team of certified cybersecurity professionals serves businesses across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and regional Australia. We understand the unique challenges facing Australian organisations — from compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 to meeting the Australian Signals Directorate's Essential Eight security framework.

Our Free Cybersecurity Assessment Tool

Affinity MSP offers a free, no-obligation external attack surface scan through our security portal at affinityscan.com.au. This tool provides Australian businesses with an instant snapshot of their external security posture, including:

  • Subdomain discovery — identifies all publicly visible subdomains associated with your domain
  • Port scanning — detects open ports and exposed services that attackers could exploit
  • SSL/TLS analysis — validates certificate configuration and encryption strength
  • Email security audit — checks SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to prevent email spoofing
  • Vulnerability detection — cross-references exposed services against known CVE databases
  • Remote access detection — identifies exposed RDP, VPN, Citrix, and other remote services
  • WordPress security scan — checks for known WordPress vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
The scan uses enterprise-grade tools including Shodan, Censys, and proprietary scanning technology to deliver results comparable to professional penetration testing reconnaissance.

Managed Security Services

Beyond the free scan, Affinity MSP provides ongoing managed security for businesses that need continuous protection:

Continuous Attack Surface Monitoring

We monitor your external-facing infrastructure around the clock, alerting you immediately when new vulnerabilities appear or configurations change.

Vulnerability Management

Our team identifies, prioritises, and helps remediate vulnerabilities based on real-world exploitability and business impact — not just CVSS scores.

Email Security Hardening

We implement and manage SPF, DKIM, and DMARC policies to protect your domain from phishing and business email compromise (BEC) attacks.

Incident Response

When a security incident occurs, our Australian-based incident response team provides rapid containment, investigation, and recovery support.

Compliance Support

We help Australian businesses meet their obligations under the Privacy Act 1988, the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, and industry-specific regulations in healthcare, finance, and government.

Why Choose an Australian Provider?

Choosing an Australian-based cybersecurity provider matters for several reasons:

  1. Data sovereignty — your security data stays in Australia, subject to Australian law
  2. Local expertise — we understand Australian regulatory requirements and threat landscape
  3. Same timezone support — critical during security incidents when every minute counts
  4. Compliance alignment — our services are designed around Australian compliance frameworks
  5. Accountability — we are subject to Australian consumer protection and privacy laws
