IPVM investigated Australian security consulting regulations to see how Verkada's disruptive business model fits, or not, with Australian law.

In this note, based on feedback from Australia's two most populous provinces covering both Sydney and Melbourne, as well as from Verkada, IPVM assesses what the regulations are and how Verkada is or is not conforming with Australian law.
