A Powerful AI Agent with a Serious Security Problem

Most non technical users give up on OpenClaw after hours of YAML files, API keys, and server configuration. The ones who push through often wish they hadn't. Cisco, CrowdStrike, and Gartner have all published security warnings.

36% of community built skills contain flaws. 341 confirmed malicious skills have been discovered. A single misconfiguration can expose your entire system. The platform isn't the problem, careless deployment is.

Deployed Right, Locked Down, and Maintained by Specialists

OpenClaw is open source, MIT licensed, and bring your own API key. The platform itself is extraordinary. The problem is everything around it: security hardening, channel routing, skill vetting, server configuration, and ongoing monitoring. We handle all of it.

Audit

We audit your operations and design your agent

We identify the tasks where an AI agent adds genuine value. Customer support triage, email management, document processing, conversational access to your business systems, onboarding workflows. The output is a clear spec covering what the agent does, which channels it operates in, and what it can and cannot access.

Most businesses find 5 to 10 high impact tasks suited to AI agents in the first audit.

Build

We build, harden, and deploy on your infrastructure

Your OpenClaw instance runs locally on hardware you control, typically a Mac Mini. We configure channel routing (WhatsApp, Slack, email, SMS), install only vetted skills, set up the heartbeat scheduler for background tasks, and apply security hardening at every layer. No exposed ports. No unvetted community code. No default credentials left in place.

Average build time: 7 to 14 business days including security review and integration testing.

Launch

We monitor, refine, and keep it secure

Agents go live in your chosen channels and workflows. We monitor performance for 30 days, tracking accuracy, resolution rates, escalation patterns, and edge cases. We also monitor for security advisories affecting OpenClaw or any installed skills and patch proactively. Your agent gets better over time, and stays protected while it does.

30 days of post launch monitoring, refinement, and security patching included.

Fifteen hours a week. That’s what we were losing to copying data between our CRM and our accounting software. Koray built an automation, and it dropped to zero.

Sarah Mitchell Director, Mitchel and Co

Two hours a day, every day, moving data between our practice management system and Xero. Koray fixed it in a week.

James Whitfield Operations Manager , Meridian Legal

It just runs. I keep waiting for it to break, and it doesn’t.

Sarah Nguyen Director, Bayside Financial Planning

I was sceptical. Construction isn’t exactly a software industry but we were losing quotes because we weren’t following up fast enough

Tom Hargreaves Founder, Structura Constructions

Koray set the whole thing up, walked us through it, and then it just worked.

Priya Kapoor Practice Manager, Greenwood Medical Centre

Every enquiry gets a response in minutes and lands in the right pipeline automatically.

Daniel Costa Sales Manager, Atlas Property Group

Tax season used to mean late nights moving client data between systems. This year, we didn’t do any of that.

FAQs

What OpenClaw actually does, what the risks are, and how we handle both.

Book your free audit
What can OpenClaw actually do for my business?

OpenClaw agents handle customer support triage (resolving 60 to 80% of enquiries without a human), email management, document processing, Shopify automation, CRM updates, scheduling, onboarding workflows, and more. The agent connects through WhatsApp, Slack, email, or any messaging platform your team already uses, and it takes real actions across your tools.

Why is security such a big deal with OpenClaw?

OpenClaw runs on your local machine and can execute shell commands, access files, send emails, and browse the web. If it's misconfigured, those capabilities are exposed to anyone who finds your instance. Security researchers found over 42,000 exposed instances in a single scan. The platform is powerful specifically because it has deep access, which is the same reason it needs proper hardening.

Can I set up OpenClaw myself?

The software is free and open source. In practice, most non technical users spend three or more hours on setup and still end up with a partially working configuration. The YAML config files, API key management, channel routing, skill installation, and server hardening require comfort with the command line. If you have a dev on staff, it's doable. If you don't, that's where we come in.

How do you vet the skills you install?

ClawHub has over 5,700 community built skills, but 36% of them contain security flaws and 341 have been confirmed malicious. We review every skill before installation, checking for data exfiltration, excessive permissions, and code quality. If a skill doesn't pass review, we build a custom alternative that does the same job safely.

Is my data safe with OpenClaw?

Your OpenClaw instance runs on hardware you control. Your data stays on your machine. We configure the agent to follow least privilege access principles, and we comply with Australian Privacy Principles. Nothing is sent to third parties or used to train external models. The AI itself is powered by Claude from Anthropic, and API calls to Claude are covered by their data retention policies.

What does the heartbeat scheduler do?

The heartbeat scheduler wakes your agent at set intervals to run tasks without anyone prompting it. Think of it as a background worker that checks your inbox, processes new orders, reviews open tickets, or runs any recurring task you define. It means the agent works around the clock, not just when someone sends it a message.

Are there other agencies in Australia offering this?

As of early 2026, we're the only Australian agency specialising in managed OpenClaw deployments. There are a handful of providers globally (mostly in the US and Middle East), but none with local support, local infrastructure knowledge, or compliance with Australian privacy requirements.
