Why We Understand Government

Our team has worked inside government. We've navigated the frameworks, met the compliance requirements, and delivered under scrutiny.

Compliance Is Non-Negotiable

What we know: Essential Eight isn't optional—it's mandated. ISM controls must be evidenced. PSPF requirements shape how systems are designed.

How this helps you: Solutions designed to meet compliance requirements from day one, with documentation auditors actually accept.

Procurement Has Rules

What we know: Government procurement follows defined processes. Panel arrangements, value-for-money assessments, probity requirements.

How this helps you: We know how to engage appropriately, provide compliant proposals, and deliver against government contracts.

Security Classification Matters

What we know: OFFICIAL, OFFICIAL:Sensitive, PROTECTED—each classification has specific handling requirements.

How this helps you: Architectures designed for appropriate classification levels, with security controls mapped to ISM requirements.

Scrutiny Is Constant

What we know: Government projects face oversight from internal audit, ANAO, parliamentary committees, media.

How this helps you: Decisions documented, architectures justified, and implementations that stand up to scrutiny.

What We've Delivered

Real outcomes from real government engagements. Details anonymised to protect client confidentiality.

Federal Agency Platform Recovery

A federal agency had a critical platform project at risk of failure. Multiple vendors involved, unclear architecture, and a looming deadline for national service delivery.

Outcomes

  • $5.5M project salvaged
  • Platform supporting national operations
  • 99.95% availability achieved
  • Zero security incidents

Defence Environment Security Uplift

A Defence-related environment needed security uplift to meet compliance requirements. Existing controls were inconsistent and poorly documented.

Outcomes

  • Compliance requirements met
  • Security posture dramatically improved
  • Documentation supporting successful assessment
  • Zero security incidents during delivery

Agency Automation Program

A federal agency was drowning in manual processes. Approvals took days, data was re-keyed between systems, and staff spent hours on tasks that should take minutes.

Outcomes

  • Process time reduced from 4.5 days to 1 hour
  • $1.8M annual cost savings identified
  • Staff freed for higher-value work
  • Foundation for ongoing automation
