Monitoring active · 24 / 7

We know about your site's faults before
your team does.

Continuous monitoring for electronic security and IT. Sydney + NSW on-site, remote Australia-wide.

Every camera, access controller, intercom, switch and server on your site reports its status in real time — so faults get caught before they become incidents, and your team focuses on operational priorities.

Installed, invoiced, forgotten.

Most security and IT contractors treat your site as a one-off job. The cabling goes in, the panel is commissioned, the invoice clears — and then the system quietly drifts out of service over the next eighteen months.

Cameras drop offline one at a time. Access controllers stop logging. Swipe readers fail intermittently. NVR disks degrade. No one notices until someone can't get through a door, or footage is needed and isn't there — and by then, the contractor is booking an after-hours callout.

Our model is the opposite. We monitor every IP-addressable device continuously, resolve most issues remotely, and only invoice callouts when they're genuinely needed.

Michael knows, sometimes before we do, when a device has failed or gone offline. This alone has significantly reduced our callout costs.

First we document everything.

Before we can monitor your site, we need to know what's on it. The Audit is a scoped engagement — we walk every floor, identify every IP-connected device, map the network, organise credentials, and produce a complete documentation set that becomes the source of truth for your site. More on what we do during a site audit →

Most buildings we take over have none of this properly documented. Cabling diagrams are missing. Device passwords live in someone's personal notes. Camera serial numbers are unknown. The first job is making all of that explicit, written down, and yours. Hover any document above to lift it — click to see what each one delivers.

  • Network & bus topology — every cable mapped, including legacy spurs
  • Site plans marked up with security devices & coverage zones
  • Device configuration register — the single source of truth for every asset
  • Condition audit with device photos & capex recommendations
One-off scoped engagement. Fixed scope, fixed deliverable. The runbook is yours to keep regardless of whether you continue with The Mallen Method afterwards.

The Mallen Method: continuous monitoring as a service. Four stages, one continuous loop.

Once your site is documented, the loop runs. Issues are identified by monitoring, investigated by our team, resolved with the right action, and documented so the next time the same thing happens we're faster.

Stage 01

Identify

Continuous monitoring detects an anomaly. A camera goes offline; a switch port flaps; a panel reports a fault. We know within seconds.

Stage 02

Investigate

AI analysis generates a likely diagnosis and recommended response. A technician reviews it against the site runbook, rules out false positives, and decides on the action.

Stage 03

Resolve

Remote fix, scheduled site visit, or vendor escalation — whichever the situation needs. You get a status update with the action taken.

Stage 04

Document

The runbook is updated with what we learned. The next time this happens — on this site or any of our other sites — we're already faster.

The Mallen Stack + AI: AI-assisted analysis on a single encrypted tunnel. The engine behind the method.

The Mallen Method™ is the process. The Mallen Stack™ + AI is the technology that makes it possible — the monitoring fabric, the AI analysis layer, and the case-management automation.

A small Mallen Appliance sits on your site, watches every IP-connected device, and pushes encrypted telemetry through a single outbound tunnel to our infrastructure. The AI layer turns raw alerts into a recommended diagnosis and response. A technician reviews and acts. You get the resolution, not the noise.

  • Mallen Appliance on-site — small, hardened, indefinite warranty included
  • Single encrypted outbound tunnel — no inbound access required
  • AI-assisted analysis: diagnosis & recommended response, not raw alerts
  • Data stored in Microsoft Dataverse, hosted in Australia

Three audiences, one continuous approach.

Strata & owners corps

Site-wide security, intercom, access control and IT across residential and mixed-use properties. Clean handover documentation that travels with the building when the managing agent changes.

Commercial businesses

Corporate offices, warehouses, professional services, and multi-site operators. We work equally well as the primary IT/security provider or alongside your existing internal team.

Clubs & licensed venues

CCTV coverage that meets licensing requirements. Camera placement designed around RSA and gaming surveillance obligations. We understand what regulators actually audit for.

What we do, and what people ask

Six service lines, continuously monitored.

Services

Audit, alarms, CCTV, access, network & fractional CTO.

Electronic security and the IT underneath, delivered as one engagement — with one number to call. Every service is delivered under The Mallen Method™: continuous monitoring, AI-assisted analysis, human-confirmed action.

Two questions buyers ask before they get to a quote.

Do you specialise in any particular alarm or access control platforms?

Yes — we're an Inner Range Integriti specialist for both alarms and access control. We also work with ICT Protege, Nx Witness video management, and Milestone systems. We're a Microsoft Partner, and we run our case management on Microsoft Dynamics 365, with all data stored in Microsoft Dataverse hosted in Australia for data sovereignty.

How is pricing structured?

Monthly retainer based on the device count at your site. After a network audit confirms the device mix, you get a fixed monthly figure with no surprise callouts: routine remote work is included, and on-site visits are pre-purchased at $150/hour rather than the standard $180/hour ad-hoc rate. Indicative pricing is available via our online calculator.

Michael found and fixed a major network backbone issue that had plagued the site since inception — intermittent dropouts of swipe readers. Our callout rate went from two or three times per week to maybe once a month.

Pricing isn't public — we reserve it for prospects who've told us a bit about their site first. It's how we make sure quotes go to people who'll actually use them.

Let's talk about your site.

If you're evaluating your current security and IT spend — or inheriting a site with no documentation — a 30-minute conversation is a useful starting point. No pitch deck, just a proper discussion about what you have and what it's doing.
