About HCS
Hanley's Consulting Services — Perth-based IT and cyber security consulting since 1998. Founded and still run by Gary Hanley.
27 years of stopping small-business IT disasters.
Hanley's Consulting Services was founded in 1998 by Gary Hanley. Same founder, same phone number, still based in Perth. We work with business owners who don't have time to be their own IT department — and want the person answering the phone to actually know their setup.
Gary Hanley, founder
Gary started in IT in 1992, working at BGC before moving on to contract roles with McMahon, Wesfarmers, and the Water Corporation. He founded HCS in 1998 to give small and mid-sized businesses the same quality of IT support the big corporates were getting — without the corporate overhead.
Alongside the consulting, Gary holds a Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security from Edith Cowan University and built DMARC Busta, a SaaS platform used by MSPs to manage email authentication for their clients.
When he's not in front of a terminal, Gary is out camping and four-wheel-driving across WA with his family.
How we work
- Integrity. Plain-English reporting. No lock-in. If something isn't working, we say so.
- Partnership. One dedicated consultant per client. We learn your environment, not a generic playbook.
- Accountability. We measure our own performance against what we promised. You get regular check-ins and you always know the status.
- Depth over breadth. We stay current on the things that matter for small business — Essential Eight, Microsoft 365, DMARC, endpoint security — and refer out for the rest.
