Linkora Talent gives Australian security firms a managed VA for the business administration around the work — proposals, report production, evidence chasing and scheduling — with no access to client environments, security tooling or privileged credentials.
A typical VA in a security firm
Where it starts
Proposals, report production, evidence chasing
Hours
20–30 per week
Access
Your business systems only
Never
Client environments or security tooling
Illustrative. The scope line is written into the role before anyone starts.
You are not short of demand. You are short of the hours your consultants spend not consulting.
“My testers spend Friday formatting reports.”
The finding took an hour. The document took four, at a consultant’s rate.
“Half of an audit is chasing people for evidence.”
It’s a scheduling and follow-up problem wearing a compliance costume.
“We lose bids because the proposal went out late.”
Not because it was worse. Because everyone capable of writing it was on an engagement.
Everything here sits outside the security work itself. Nothing on this list touches a client system.
Illustrative — administrative work only, performed in your business systems.
A marketplace hands you a profile. A recruiter hands you a candidate. Both stop at the start date. This is what we keep doing after it.
Before anyone is proposed, the role is written down with you: the tasks, the hours, the systems, the handover points and what good looks like in the first month.
You are not sent a shortlist to sift. We propose someone we employ and already know, and you meet them before anything is signed.
Four to six weeks of structured onboarding against your systems and your protocols, with check-ins scheduled rather than hoped for, so the role beds in instead of drifting.
One named person at Linkora owns the engagement for as long as it runs. If something isn’t working, sorting it out is our job rather than another thing on your list.
Nothing happens without you agreeing to it first. There is nothing to sign to get a price.
A short form, about two minutes. Tick the tasks that keep landing on you. No call needed to get started.
Within two business days you get a written role outline and an indicative price for a role like yours. Nothing to sign, no placement fee.
We propose someone from our own team, with the reasons we picked them. You meet them, and you decide.
Four to six weeks of structured onboarding, then ongoing check-ins and a named contact for as long as the role runs.
In this sector the scope line is the product. It does not move for a given engagement, a deadline or a favour, and we would rather lose the work than blur it.
No access to any client system, network, tenant or dataset. Not read-only, not supervised, not temporarily.
No scanner, no SIEM, no EDR console, no testing platform. They do not hold a seat and do not need one.
No admin accounts, no key material, no secrets manager, no jump host. Business systems only, at least privilege.
They produce the document. They do not write, interpret, triage or rate a finding, and they do not change one.
No part in live IR, no on-call, and nothing with a breach SLA attached to it.
Where your process allows it, report production runs on the material required for the task and no more.
That your VA is a named, employed member of an administrative team who has no access to client environments, security tooling or privileged credentials; works only inside your own business systems at least privilege; is under a confidentiality agreement; and has access revoked on the last day of the engagement. We’ll put that in writing for you to pass on.
With the administration of it — chasing evidence, tracking due dates, maintaining the register, formatting the artefacts. Not the assessment, not the control design, and not the sign-off.
The Philippines, employed by Linkora. If you have a data residency or onshore requirement in a client contract, tell us before we scope — it may rule the role out, and we’d rather say so on day one than after you’ve signed.
Only if the role genuinely requires it, and then to a scoped role rather than a broad one. The default is the smallest permission set that lets the task happen.
Access removal is our job and it happens on the last day. We confirm it to you in writing so you have an artefact for your own register.
No. Anything that involves judgement about a finding stays with your consultants. What they take is everything around it — the template, the tables, the version control, the chasing and the delivery.

Based on your answers
You've used a freelancer marketplace
Then you already know where the effort lands: you screen the profiles, you write the training, you manage the work, and you start again if they leave. The tasks get done; the management never leaves your desk. A managed engagement moves that part to us.
You've used a recruitment agency
An agency's job finishes on the start date. Ours starts there. Onboarding, coaching against a written brief and cover when things change are the parts a placement fee doesn't buy — and a replacement usually means paying it again.
You've tried a local part-time hire
Usually it's not the person, it's the maths: not enough hours to justify the cost, and reception or the office manager absorbs the overflow anyway. A scoped role gives you the hours you actually need without the local overhead.
This would be your first time
Most of our clients hadn't used a VA before either. You don't need a tidy list or a process manual — we write the role brief with you, and you approve it before anyone starts.
What Linkora handles
We propose a VA from our own team whose experience fits your brief. You meet them before anything is signed, and if the fit isn't right we keep looking. No placement fee either way.
Access, tools, security basics and written expectations, structured across the first four to six weeks with Linkora running it — not improvised by you in the gaps.
You set the priorities and make the decisions; your VA owns the agreed tasks. Regular check-ins and coaching sit with us, so you're not running the arrangement alone.
Cover is arranged with you before anything changes, and if the fit stops working we propose a replacement from our team and manage the handover.
You'll have an indicative price within two business days, and typically two to four weeks from here to a first day.
That's comfortable — scoping and matching usually take two to four weeks, so there's room to get the brief right.
No commitment needed. An indicative price and a draft role brief are useful even if the answer turns out to be later.
Admin support only. Clinical judgement, and tax, BAS and legal advice, stay with your practitioners and advisers.
