Escalate Consulting Pty Ltd

What Escalate Consulting Pty Ltd does

Escalate Consulting Pty Ltd is an Australian privately-held business resilience consulting firm headquartered in Brisbane that provides business continuity planning, crisis management, emergency management, and regulatory compliance services to enterprise, government, and SME clients. The firm serves more than 50 organisations across financial services, retail, mining, energy, education, health, logistics, and the public sector, including named ASX-grade clients such as Woolworths Group, CS Energy, Aware Super, Allkem, Pepper Money, Perenti, and Griffith University. It differentiates through a 100% certified Business Continuity consultant base (MBCI/CBCI credentials), deep regulatory expertise in APRA CPS 230, CPS/SPS 232, SOCI, and ISO 22301/22317, and codified methodologies including the Continuity Five framework and a Business Resilience Maturity Model. Strategic Advisor Dawson Petie and founder/Managing Director Simon Petie anchor a leadership team with backgrounds in emergency management, law enforcement, fire rescue, and the military.

The firm's core technology asset is ReadyBC, a proprietary cloud-based business continuity management software platform that maps organisational dependencies and generates real-time resource lists to support continuity program management across organisations of varying size and complexity. Beyond ReadyBC, the offering is predominantly services-led: tailored continuity planning, business resilience reviews, critical function and critical operations testing, simulation exercises, post-incident reviews, ECO and warden training, and the CBCI 7.0 certification course. International delivery is supported through offices in Singapore, Cebu, Manila, London, and New York alongside Australian hubs in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth.

The business model is project-based professional services with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing. Customer acquisition relies on direct enterprise sales, content marketing (blog, case studies, SEO), and inbound lead capture through website quote forms, phone, and email. The firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no institutional shareholders, and it operates without public pricing, publicly disclosed revenue, or any recorded M&A activity.

Broad incumbents

• KPMG Australia – Operational Resilience: Big Four advisory practice serving APRA-regulated clients on CPS 230, BCM and operational resilience. Competes with Escalate for financial-services BC mandates but as part of a much broader risk consulting portfolio.
• EY-Parthenon – Risk Consulting (Australia): Big Four risk consulting practice with operational resilience and BCM capability serving Australian banks, insurers and infrastructure operators. Competes with Escalate for regulated-industry resilience work.
• PwC Australia – Crisis and Resilience: Big Four advisory offering BCM, crisis response and regulatory resilience services. A frequent competitor for the same APRA and SOCI engagements Escalate targets, bundled with broader consulting and audit relationships.
• Deloitte Australia – Risk Advisory: Big Four risk advisory with established operational resilience, crisis management and continuity services across APRA-regulated and critical infrastructure clients. Overlaps directly with Escalate on BC and SOCI-related engagements.

Direct peers

• SAI Global: Risk, compliance and standards advisory firm (now part of Ansell) active in Australia across BCM, ISO 22301 and regulatory compliance. Closely comparable to Escalate's compliance-focused service lines and ISO 22301 positioning.
• Fusion Risk Management: Specialist business continuity and operational resilience software platform providing dependency mapping, crisis management and continuity planning tools. Most direct software competitor to Escalate's ReadyBC platform.
• Control Risks: Global specialist risk and resilience consultancy offering crisis management, business continuity and security advisory to enterprises. Highly comparable to Escalate's resilience/crisis consulting core, though at significantly greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Baringa Partners: Independent consulting firm with a strong energy, financial services and operational risk practice including resilience and BCM advisory. Comparable mid-sized specialist peer with similar vertical mix to Escalate, particularly in energy/resources.

Emerging players

• Riskonnect: Enterprise GRC/operational risk platform with business continuity and resilience modules. Comparable on the technology side of Escalate's ReadyBC offering and increasingly competing for regulated-industry buyers.
• Resolver: Integrated GRC/ERM/BCM software vendor offering business continuity, incident management and risk modules. Comparable to ReadyBC as a SaaS platform target, often paired with consulting partners like Escalate.
