About Virtuelle Group
Virtuelle Group is an Australian managed IT and cyber security provider, headquartered in Rhodes, Sydney. It takes a cyber security-first approach: security is built into every layer of the IT it designs and runs, rather than sold as a separate product. It works with mid-sized and enterprise organisations, many in regulated sectors, from offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Singapore and Chicago, with 24/7 support. Virtuelle Group is ISO 27001 certified, keeps client data in Australia, and offers a 90-day performance guarantee with no long-term lock-in.
Virtuelle Group was established in 2013. It grew out of a managed service provider that Managing Director Nehru Eljiz founded in 2003, and was built on that business’s client relationships and operating experience. That continuous history is why Virtuelle Group refers to more than 20 years of experience.
In short: Virtuelle Group is a Sydney-based, cyber security-first managed IT and cyber security provider for mid-sized and enterprise organisations, ISO 27001 certified with a 90-day performance guarantee.
In one line: Virtuelle Group is a cyber security-first managed IT provider in Sydney, Australia.
