Otis™ Deployment Models

One Capability, Your Choice of Data Residency

Every Otis™ engagement is directed by a senior consultant and every finding is human-validated. Choose where model inference runs based on your regulatory and procurement requirements.

Otis™
ZDR

(Zero Data Retention)

Suitable For

– Commercial organisations, SaaS and scale-ups, and teams without an onshore-processing mandate that want broader coverage than a time-boxed test allows.

Includes:

  • Senior consultant directing every engagement
  • Full Otis™ augmented coverage across in-scope targets
  • 100% human-validated findings
  • Live reporting dashboard and 1-on-1 debrief
  • Isolated engagement environment with a single controlled egress
  • Zero data retention on model inference; no client data used for training

Otis™ ZDR delivers the complete Otis-augmented engagement: senior consultant direction from start to finish, broad coverage across your agreed scope, and every finding validated by a qualified expert. Model inference runs on certified US infrastructure under strict zero data retention.

Start with ZDR

Otis™ Sovereign

APRA-regulated entities, SOCI critical infrastructure, government and government-adjacent organisations, the Defence supply chain, and anyone whose procurement requires sovereign, onshore delivery.

Everything in Otis™ ZDR, plus:

  • Australian-hosted model inference on AWS Bedrock
  • IRAP PROTECTED-assessed infrastructure
  • No third-party model provider in the data path
  • KMS-managed encryption keys
  • End-to-end audit trail suitable for regulator and procurement evidence

Otis™ Sovereign keeps every part of the engagement in Australia, including model inference. Inference runs on AWS Bedrock in Australian regions, on infrastructure IRAP-assessed at the PROTECTED level, the same standard the Australian Government relies on for its own classified workloads.

Start with Sovereign

Not sure which fits? We'll recommend a deployment model during scoping, based on your obligations, not our margin.

Otis™ Augmented Delivery

Who is Otis™ for?

Otis™ Sovereign keeps engagement data isolated and processed entirely in Australia, including model inference.

Complex Systems
Where dep coverage is crucial

Where scale and complexity mean a time-boxed test can only ever sample. Otis assesses more of the surface that would otherwise go untested.

  • Applications with numerous user roles and permission tiers
    01
  • Multi-tenant SaaS and API-heavy platforms
    02
  • Intricate business workflows and logic
    03
Large Attack Surfaces
Where coverage is the hardest to guarantee

Where the surface is too broad, or changes too fast, for annual sampling to keep pace. Otis extends how much can be assessed in the same window.

  • Sprawling external infrastructure
    01
  • Environments that change faster than annual testing
    02
  • Teams needing broad assurance without longer timelines
    03
Regulated & Data-Sensitive
The data matters as much as the findings

Where sovereignty and governance are procurement requirements, not preferences. Otis™ Sovereign keeps engagement data isolated and processed in Australia.

  • APRA, SOCI and government-adjacent obligations
    01
  • Organisations requiring sovereign, onshore delivery
    02
  • Teams underserved by shallow or heavily sampled tests
    03

01

Initial Conversation

A short briefing with a senior consultant to understand your environment, constraints, and what a successful engagement needs to protect.

02

Detailed Scoping & Threat Modelling

A senior consultant leads a focused session to threat model your enviroment, map your attack surface and shape a tailored test scope based on real-world risks.

03

Proposal & Engagement Design

Scope, coverage, consultant direction and your deployment model (ZDR or Sovereign) are locked in so Otis can be used effectively across your environment.

04

Planning & Access

Windows, credentials, and rules of engagement are set so testing can start cleanly, with your consultant steering Otis from the first action.

05

Expert-Directed Testing

A senior consultant directs Otis throughout catching shallow paths early and pushing into the workflows, roles, and hosts that matter most.

06

Live Reporting

View findings in real time via a live dashboard. Track progress, ask questions, and get remediation advice as your consultant validates them.

07

1-on-1 Delivery& Debrief

Receive a 1-on-1 walkthrough of results, with risk contextualised against your environment, business impact, and compensating controls.

08

Retesting & Follow on

Fixes are verified, residual risk is confirmed, and follow-on testing is scoped where the environment or the threat has moved on.

“A critical aspect to Otis is the human judgement that decides where to go deep, and that still comes from an experienced security specialist. The machine covers the ground. The expert decides what matters.”

Stuart Shanahan

Director of Parabellum Technical Services

Australian Innovation
Run by Experts
01
Built by the people who use it
+

Otis™ was designed, developed and tested in-house by Parabellum's security researchers and offensive security experts, consultants who hold Australian government security clearances and have delivered advanced offensive security engagements for ASX 100 & Fortune 500 companies, all levels of Government, Banking, Energy & Resources, the Defence supply chain and critical Infrastructure entities.

The tradecraft of modern adversaries, threat actors and security consultants is built into the capability itself, not written into a methodology document that gets referenced when someone remembers to. The people who built Otis™ are the people who direct it.

02
Coverage that doesn't depend on available hours
+

Most penetration tests sample. Not by choice but by arithmetic. A tester covers what they can reach in the days available, and whatever falls outside that window may go untested. The client assumes the surface was covered. The tester knows it was sampled.

Parabellum consultants use Otis™ to assess substantially more of the agreed scope than a time-bound manualtest can reach, equating to more roles, more workflows, more hosts, rather than a sample.

03
Expert-piloted, continuously
+

Fully agentic & autonomous tools plateau. An agent finds something shallow, marks the objective met, and moves on because nobody is watching to tell it that it stopped one step short of something that mattered. We call it the lazy agent, and it is why unsupervised autonomy often produces volume rather than insight.

A senior Parabellum consultant directs every Otis™ augmented engagement from start to finish. Not scoping at the front and reviewing at the back but rather, steering, throughout. Recognising the moment an agent settles for something shallow, and redirecting it to the path that actually matters.

The coverage of a machine. The judgment of a senior offensive security expert. On the same engagement.

04
Every finding validated by a Parabellum expert
+

100% human-validated findings. No finding reaches your report without being checked by a qualified Parabellum consultant, validated, prioritised, and explained in the context of your environment.

What you receive is an assurance a named consultant stands behind. Not a queue of machine output for your team to triage.

05
Secure by architecture. Sovereign by choice.
+

Every Otis™ engagement, on either tier, runs in an isolated environment, walled off with a single controlled egress so your engagement never touches another. Encryption in transit and at rest, and every action logged and attributable.

Otis™ Sovereign runs model inference on AWS Bedrock in Australia, on infrastructure IRAP-assessed at the PROTECTED level. Your data is processed in Australia and is never sent to a third-party model provider, with KMS-managed keys throughout.

Otis™ ZDR runs model inference on SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001-certified infrastructure in the United States under zero data retention. The model provider does not store prompts or outputs, except where required by law or to prevent abuse, and never uses them for training. Engagement records stay in Australia.

Parabellum also participates in the security and safety programmes of frontier AI providers including Anthropic and OpenAI, programmes those providers carefully vet membership into.

06
Built to keep improving
+

Otis™ is where our research compounds. Every engagement teaches our consultants something about how modern systems fail, and that tradecraft is encoded back into the capability, so each assessment benefits from the ones before it.
‍
What never feeds back is your data on either tier. No client data is used to train any model, not anonymised, not aggregated, not opt-in. The learning comes from our researchers, not from your environment.

07
Matched to the engagement
+

Otis™ augmented delivery applies to external network, wireless network, web application, thick client, APIs, mobile application and source code security testing today.

Where your AI-use policy requires onshore processing, Otis™ Sovereign keeps every step in Australia. Where a scope isn't Otis™ capable, or your internal policy restricts AI use entirely, the same senior consultants deliver by hand, using advanced certifcatons, years of experience across complex environments and advanced manual offensive tooling.

Scope an Otis™ Engagement

Tell us about your environment and obligations. We'll scope the right coverage and recommend ZDR or Sovereign deployment, with a senior consultant accountable from first call to final report.
