PMT Security, a leader in the Australian security industry since 1979, has officially launched a new division dedicated to providing comprehensive security solutions for data centres. The new Data Centre and Critical Infrastructure Solutions division aims to meet the growing need for advanced, reliable, and compliant security infrastructure in Australia’s expanding data centre landscape. With the growing demands of SaaS, cloud solutions and AI, the data centre market is expanding exponentially. The need to provide an end-to-end solution for securing the next wave of the Data Centres is an essential element of planning and design, to be considered alongside critical services such as power and cooling.
The new division will be steered by Nick Degney as the National GM for Data Centres and Critical Infrastructure, alongside Nick Koletsis who fills the role of Head of Customer Success for Data Centres and Critical Infrastructure. The two bring a wealth of experience in all areas of the data centre landscape from pre-site selection and design experience to build, fit out and operations.
“With the range of experience that these new roles provide from both a sub-contractor and client background, we are positioning PMT to really capitalise on a growing data centre market. Couple this with their experience in customer service, and you have a team dedicated to providing the best-in-class support to all customers,” said Darren Taylor, Managing Director, PMT.
Supporting the DC and Government verticals is George Dionisopoulos from GRC4 who is providing invaluable guidance and support to the team. George has a wealth of experience in the security industry and is a specialist within the data centre security space. His previous role as the Head of Security for NEXTDC and prior to that AAPT positions him to offer his expertise and real-world guidance PMT begins to build out the new vertical.
As data centres play an increasingly vital role in the world’s digital economy, securing these facilities against physical and cyber threats has become paramount.
PMT Security’s Data Centre Solutions offer end-to-end system design, installation, and ongoing maintenance to safeguard both the physical and digital assets of data centre operators. The company is also a long-term partner of many tier one global manufacturers in the data centre space.
“Data centres are the backbone of modern business operations, and we understand the critical need for security in these environments,” continues Darren Taylor. “With the launch of our dedicated division, we are offering tailored solutions that integrate advanced technologies including access control, CCTV, automation and communications backed up by our managed services, to ensure the highest levels of protection and compliance.”
Key offerings include:
- Customised Security Solutions: PMT Security delivers bespoke security systems that integrate access control, visitor management, and advanced surveillance to secure data centres while maintaining operational efficiency.

- Locally–stored and owned data and assets: PMT Security is an Australian-owned company, and has strict governance over data and other assets to ensure safe storage and secure transfer within Australia.
Nick Koletsis states: “PMT has a history of finding complementary technologies to overcome business challenges. Drawing on the company’s expertise and long history of delivering premium security services, there is a very clear opportunity here for the team to lead the way in data centre security in Australia at a time when cloud solutions are growing exponentially, and data estates grow in time with the explosion of Artificial Intelligence solutions.”
PMT Security’s new division ensures compliance with Australian Standards and provides proactive, scalable solutions designed to keep data centres secure in an evolving digital landscape.
