Common questions
Frequently asked
Is Core42 the same as Core42 (G42) in Abu Dhabi?
No. Core42 at core42.com.au is an independent Australian protective security advisory firm for the built environment, legally registered as Define42 Pty Ltd (ABN 37 650 545 341), with offices in Sydney and Perth. It has no affiliation, ownership connection or commercial relationship with Core42, the Abu Dhabi-based AI and cloud computing company that is a subsidiary of G42.
What is Core42?
Core42 is an Australian security consultancy specialising in protective security for the built environment. It provides security risk assessments, threat assessments and TVRAs, CPTED and crime risk assessment, hostile vehicle mitigation, protective design, and security systems assurance for major projects and for organisations. It was founded in 2020 and is Australian owned and operated.
Where is Core42 located?
Core42 has offices in Sydney (Chippendale, NSW) and Perth (St Georges Terrace, WA), and delivers projects in every Australian capital city including Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart and Darwin, as well as internationally in Singapore and Malaysia.
Is Core42 SCEC endorsed?
Yes. Daniel Versaci is an SCEC Endorsed Security Zone Consultant, which allows Core42 to provide physical security advice to Australian Government agencies on the design and construction of security zones as defined in the Protective Security Policy Framework and ASIO-T4 Technical Notes.
Is Core42 licensed to provide security consulting in Australia?
Yes. Core42 holds security licences in New South Wales (000107808), Queensland (4967035) and Western Australia (73019). Security consulting is licensed at state and territory level in Australia, and each licence permits security advisory work in that jurisdiction.
Who owns Core42 and who leads the work?
Core42 was co-founded by Codee Ludbey and Daniel Versaci and remains independently Australian owned. Both principals are Board Certified Protection Professionals. The people who win the work deliver the work.
What makes Core42 different from other security consultancies?
Core42 builds its own evidence base rather than relying on convention. Its methods are published under peer review in Crime Science and in Terrorism and Political Violence, its vehicle-as-a-weapon analysis is the first peer-reviewed dataset to examine ideological and non-ideological vehicle attacks together, and its study of 100 consultant CPTED reports coded against ISO 22341 is the first systematic assessment of what that practice actually produces in Australia.
