How GABEY can help

01 / ASSESS

Independent Assessment

Does the evidence support your decision?

Examine provider claims, technology arrangements and security controls against your requirements. Identify material risks, evidence gaps and matters that need resolution before acceptance or change.

Engagement outputs

Assessment findings, supporting evidence, identified limitations and recommendations.

02 / ENGINEER

Architecture & Engineering

What needs to be designed, connected or improved?

Translate business and operational requirements into security architecture, systems integration and software development. Define access boundaries, dependencies and acceptance criteria for implementation.

Engagement outputs

Architecture designs, integration specifications, implementation work and validation evidence, according to the agreed scope.

03 / DEVELOP

Research & Development

What needs investigation before operational use?

Investigate emerging security questions through research, prototypes and demonstrators. Describe each initiative according to its development status, observed results and known limitations.

Research outputs

Research material, prototypes, demonstrators and documented findings, according to the initiative.

Evidarq™ · Independent provider assessment

Provider assurance, commissioned by you.

Evidarq is GABEY's methodology for assessing service providers against a client's agreed requirements and the available evidence. The client commissions the assessment. GABEY examines the agreed scope and provides findings to support the client's decision.

GABEY recommends. The client decides.

A defined scope and a clear decision boundary

Agree the assessment requirements and evidence arrangements before work begins.
Examine relevant access, service dependencies, responsibilities and supporting evidence within the agreed scope.
Report findings, evidence gaps and limitations for the client's consideration.
The client retains authority over provider appointment, acceptance and access.

Start with the decision you need to make. Describe the proposed change, the operational requirement or the concern you need examined. GABEY can then define an appropriate assessment or engineering scope.

// Who we are

Experienced in complex environments.
Focused on your requirements.

GABEY Consulting is an Australian technology and security engineering consultancy. Our principal brings delivery experience across government, telecommunications and critical infrastructure, informing our approach to security architecture, systems integration and independent assessment.

Each engagement starts with a clear understanding of your requirements, responsibilities and intended outcomes. We agree the scope, identify the expertise required, and define the evidence needed to assess delivery.

DISCUSS YOUR REQUIREMENT

What we examine

Understand the dependencies. Test the assumptions.

A technology decision can depend on more than the system being purchased. Access arrangements, service providers, software dependencies and decision authority all affect operational risk. GABEY examines the relevant boundaries within an agreed scope and reports what the evidence supports, including material gaps and limitations.

Identity and access

Who can access the environment, how is access authorised, and how is it withdrawn? Examine authentication, privileges and access records against the responsibilities and activities they are intended to support.

Devices and configuration

What evidence supports the condition of the devices involved? Examine relevant configuration, maintenance and security information rather than relying on device recognition alone.

Networks and data flows

Where does information travel, and which systems can reach it? Examine connections, destinations and access boundaries against the intended operating arrangements.

Providers and service dependencies

Who supports the service beyond the contracted provider? Examine relevant subcontractors, hosting arrangements, support access and responsibilities using the available technical, contractual and operational evidence.

Software and integration

Does the implementation meet the agreed requirements? Examine interfaces, permissions, dependencies and failure handling, with validation against defined acceptance criteria.

Decisions and authority

Who or what may approve a change, release information or trigger an action? Examine approval boundaries, automated permissions and records of execution against the organisation's intended authority arrangements.

When these questions matter

Before provider access

Establish the access required, the parties involved and the evidence needed before the client authorises access or service handover.

Before a system change

Identify affected interfaces, dependencies and responsibilities. Define acceptance criteria and the evidence required to assess the change.

Before enabling automation

Define which actions may be automated, which require approval, and what should happen when information is incomplete or the process fails.

Evidence to support an accountable decision.

The assessment should make clear what was examined, what was demonstrated and what remains unresolved. GABEY provides findings and recommendations within the agreed scope. The client retains authority over acceptance, access and operational change.

Research & Development

Investigating emerging risks. Developing the evidence.

GABEY's research explores questions about digital trust, security and the authority to act. Research material, prototypes and demonstrators provide ways to examine these questions and document findings within defined conditions.

01 / AUTHORITY

AI and automated decisions

When should a system be permitted to act?

Research questions include the boundary between a generated recommendation and an authorised action, the role of approval controls, and the evidence needed to examine what occurred.

02 / AUTHENTICITY

Identity and digital interactions

What supports an assertion of authenticity?

Research questions include how credentials, session information and interaction evidence contribute to specific identity and authenticity claims, including the limitations of each source.

03 / ASSURANCE

Evidence and decision boundaries

What does the available evidence justify?

Research questions include how assumptions, dependencies and conditions affect a decision, and how findings can be presented with a clear scope and stated limitations.

Understand the status of each initiative.

When reviewing an initiative, distinguish its research findings, demonstrated behaviour and intended future use. Any operational use requires assessment against the relevant requirements and deployment conditions.
