Australian. Cleared. Specialist.
ACT Cyber is an Australian-owned cyber consultancy with a deliberately narrow practice — Microsoft 365, Azure and hybrid environments delivered to the ISM PROTECTED standard. Founded and led by practitioners who build for audit, not around it.
Most PROTECTED programmes take too long, cost too much, and arrive at IRAP with gaps that should never have been there. We exist to change that.
Our mandate is narrow on purpose. We do not try to be everything to everyone. We focus on Microsoft cloud and hybrid environments, ISM PROTECTED aligned, because that is where deep specialist knowledge saves clients months of effort and tens of thousands of dollars.
Engagements are led by a senior consulting principal. Artefacts are produced by the same hand that builds the environment — no handover gap between architect and writer. Every configuration traces back to a control, and every control is mapped to evidence that an IRAP assessor will accept.
Principles that shape the work.
Build for the assessor in the room.
Every design decision, every artefact, every configuration is produced knowing an IRAP assessor will read it. If it won't pass scrutiny, we don't ship it.
Platform over paperwork.
ISM controls satisfied by Microsoft platform configuration beat controls satisfied only by documentation. Prove it in the tenancy, not just the SSP.
Specialist, not generalist.
We don't try to be everything. PROTECTED Microsoft environments are the brief — that's where depth matters, and depth is where clients save time and cost.
Sovereignty, end-to-end.
Australian-owned, Australian-staffed, Australian-delivered. Clearances, data, decisions and contracts all stay onshore.
