Featuring in the Australian Financial Review's Fast Starters with a CAGR of 234%, Redwood Security is challenging the cyber advisory market as an underdog to watch.

Mitch Redshaw, Co-Founder of Redwood Security, has a clear message to cyber advisers: do more, be more, and deliver more - or your clients will place their confidence and budgets in those who will.

"For years, the consulting industry has been underserving and overcharging its clients. The market deserves better."

Since its inception in 2023, Redwood Security has quickly built a client sheet boasting Government, critical infrastructure, global organisations and ASX listed companies.

The secret to this growth? Fixing the flaws of big consultancies by delivering honest, high quality advice, and fair price-tags.

"Deliver high quality work at a great price, and the bank account will take care of itself"

A different model: experts doing the work, their performance measured on quality.

Redwood Security has become a trusted and refreshing alternative to the traditional consulting market, which is hindered by junior-heavy teams, timesheet-focused charging, and constant pressure to squeeze margins.

Placing experts first, Redwood Security prioritises the right skills with the right work, rather than bending expertise to fit a 'land-and-expand' model.

Its internal performance KPIs measure quality, customer satisfaction and 'value-added' (no-cost) outcomes. Because of this, Redwood Security's consultants are fundamentally driven to focus on quality and customer satisfaction. They're also encouraged to 'go the extra mile', where other firms would typically encourage 'identifying the next opportunity'.

It works, and the proof is in the results.

The market deserves top quality advice at fair rates

Both private and public sectors are feeling the squeeze of economic austerity, but this doesn't stop hackers. Cyber risk continues to evolve and so too must the market and its advisers, if they want to keep up, says Mitch Redshaw.

"The market is feeling economic turbulence and advisers need to put their best foot forward for their clients, now more than ever. As experts, we have a shared responsibility to keep our economy and the machinery of our government safe from cyber risk".

Redwood Security's model allows it to do more for its clients with less. It can stay flexible as needs change without its clients worrying about extra fees. Its consultants are driven to provide cost-free additions, which really has an impact. This is something Redwood Security's co-founders feel should be the status quo in industry, not a refreshing exception to the rule.

"Growth is welcome, but we'll continue to measure our success on our outcomes. If our clients feel better protected and better served with each engagement, we've done our job right."

That mindset of 'value first, cost later' pays dividends, and Redwood Security plans to expand it. As Redwood Security continues to grow, its ambition is simple: make this style of consulting the norm.

"If the consulting industry won't lift its game, their clients will move to the underdogs who already have."
