Billy Hosking

About

I'm the Managing Director of Kavira Technology, a Melbourne-based, cyber-first managed services provider working with Australian SMBs across Saas, Deep tech, professional services, and the not-for-profit sector.

I help founders and leadership teams treat cybersecurity and IT as a business function, not an afterthought: building risk assessments and remediation roadmaps, running compliance programs (ISO 27001, SOC 2, ISO 42001), building out and managing IT operations systems, cybersecurity, and engineering cloud and M365/Azure environments.

Before scaling Kavira, I built its go-to-market, pricing, and delivery model from the ground up, and I still run sales and strategy day to day. I also did the same thing for 3 other IT and cybersecurity businesses.

If you're a founder trying to work out what "good" looks like for IT and security without hiring a full internal team, that's where I'm most useful.

Big wins

• Renewed ISO 27001 certification and rolled out global MDM/EDR and conditional access for a fast-scaling SaaS platform, taking IT off the leadership team's plate entirely
• Replaced a multi-partner professional services firm's underperforming IT provider with SLA-backed response times, taking IT from a daily headache to something the Managing Partner says they "genuinely don't think about anymore"
• Took an AI consultancy from startup to enterprise-ready scale with a secure-by-default managed environment and zero internal IT hires
