Service 03 · Cybersecurity, Identity & Governance

Security that starts with identity.

Most breaches walk in through an account, not a firewall. We design security around who and what is allowed to act in your environment, then extend the same discipline to the automation and AI systems that act on your behalf.

Honest scope

We do not sell a compliance badge. We design, implement and operate controls, and we document what is and is not covered so you can make your own compliance claims accurately.

SEC-01

Identity & access

Entra ID and Google Cloud Identity design, conditional and context-aware access, multi-factor enforcement, privileged role management and least-privilege application identities for automation and AI.

  • Entra ID · Google
  • conditional access
  • PIM
SEC-02

Endpoint & device

Intune and Google endpoint management compliance and configuration, Defender for Endpoint, device-based access decisions and lifecycle from enrolment to retirement.

  • Intune · Google endpoint
  • Defender
  • compliance
SEC-03

Email & collaboration security

Exchange Online Protection, Defender for Office 365, Gmail security and DLP, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, safe links and attachments, and sharing governance in SharePoint, Teams, Google Drive and Slack.

  • DMARC
  • anti-phishing
  • sharing policy

SEC-04

Backup & recovery

Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and cloud backup with tested restores, recovery runbooks and retention that matches your obligations rather than a default.

  • SaaS backup
  • tested restore
  • runbooks
SEC-05

Governance & data boundaries

Data classification, retention, sensitivity labels, documented data flows and explicit decisions about where data may and may not go, including to AI models.

  • labels
  • retention
  • data flows
SEC-06

AI governance

Approval gates, audit, cost visibility, model selection policy and failure boundaries for agents and automation, written down in language a board can read.

  • approvals
  • audit
  • model policy
SEC-07

Security baselines as code

Tenant and cloud security configuration captured and enforced with PowerShell, Graph and the Google Admin SDK so drift is detected instead of discovered.

  • PowerShell
  • Graph · Admin SDK
  • drift detection
SEC-08

Reviews & roadmaps

Environment reviews against recognised frameworks such as the Australian Essential Eight, producing a prioritised roadmap rather than a score.

  • secure score
How we talk about security

Careful language, verifiable claims.

We will not tell you that your data never leaves your tenant unless the architecture proves it. We will tell you that every system is architected around your existing Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or cloud environment and its security boundaries, and that data flows and third-party processing are explicitly designed, documented and controlled.

Next step

Start with an identity and tenant review.

A focused review of identity, access, device and email controls, with a prioritised roadmap you can act on with or without us.
