Coop Security
Coop Security · Canberra, Australia
Field maps, apps, cloud and security reviews from one small Australian practice.
We deliver the files, the running system or the written report — and a plain account of what is and is not included.

Four services
Each one has its own page with what you get, how we work and what it costs.
-
Map packs
Printed site maps, plot plans, field sheets and GPS waypoints, built from one point on the map. -
App design
Native iOS and macOS apps and web apps, from discovery to the App Store. -
Cloud architecture
Design, migration and day-to-day operation of workloads on AWS and Azure, as code, with costs in view. -
Security reports
Configuration and exposure reviews of cloud and on-premise environments, with written findings in priority order.
How we work
Three steps, the same for every job
-
Step 1: Scope in writing
A short call, then a one-page scope: what we will deliver, what we will not, the price and the date.
-
Step 2: Work you can see
Drafts, test builds or the plan as it forms. Questions go to one address and get answered.
-
Step 3: Hand over everything
Files, source, access and a written summary. Nothing you would need later stays with us.
Map packs
A map pack from one point
Send a coordinate and a plot size. We draw a pack of print-ready A4 sheets from 1 m LiDAR and aerial imagery, check every sheet, and send the files.
- Four site maps: geology, aerial imagery, LiDAR canopy and topography
- Four plot plans with a randomised layout of 1 × 1 m frames
- Field sheets that match the layout, with room to write
- GPX waypoints of the frame centres for a GPS watch
- Sources and licences printed on every sheet
For field use in the ACT and surrounding NSW. Not a survey, and not legal or regulatory advice.

Where the work goes
Eight common jobs
-
Field survey
Site maps and field sheets for ecology, archaeology and soil work. Print them, mark them up, bring them back. -
Study-site figures
Location and site figures for reports and papers, with sources and licences printed on the sheet. -
Land management
A closer look at a block: the shape of the ground, the rock beneath it and where the tall trees stand. Planning information, not a survey. -
App prototypes
A clickable prototype in two to four weeks, to test an idea with real users before you pay for a build. -
Cloud migration
Moving existing workloads to AWS or Azure with infrastructure as code, a cut-over plan and a way back. -
Cost review
A line-by-line review of a cloud bill. Changes ranked by saving and by risk, including the ones to skip. -
Cloud security review
Configuration and exposure review of an AWS or Azure account. Written findings, in priority order. -
On-premise review
The same review for servers, networks and devices on your own premises. Scope agreed first.
