Sound Familiar?

These are the most common issues we see when organisations come to us for help with endpoint management and security compliance.

⚠️

Devices Are Unmanaged

Laptops, phones, and tablets connecting to your network without proper configuration profiles, compliance policies, or security baselines in place.

🔓

Essential Eight Gaps

You know you need to align with the ACSC Essential Eight, but you’re unsure of your current maturity level or where to start with remediation.

🔀

Complex Device Mix

Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android all in use across the business with no consistent management, patching, or security enforcement.

📋

Audit Pressure

Board, insurers, or regulators are asking for evidence of security controls and you don’t have the documentation or tooling to demonstrate compliance.

💰

Licensing Confusion

You’re paying for Microsoft 365 but not using the security features already included in your licences — Intune, Defender, Conditional Access, Purview.

👤

No Senior IT Guidance

Your internal team is operational but lacks the architecture-level expertise to design and implement a proper endpoint security strategy.

Endpoint Security & Compliance Services

We don’t just advise — we design, implement, and validate. Every engagement is hands-on, architecture-led, and aligned to Australian compliance expectations.

🛡️

Microsoft Intune Implementation

Full Device Lifecycle Management

We deploy and configure Microsoft Intune to give you complete control over every device in your organisation — from enrollment through to retirement. Configuration profiles, compliance policies, app deployment, and conditional access — designed for your environment, not a generic template.

  • Windows, macOS, iOS & Android enrollment
  • Windows Autopilot deployment
  • Configuration profiles & security baselines
  • Compliance policies & conditional access
  • Application deployment & management
  • Defender for Endpoint integration
  • BYOD policies & containerisation
  • Windows 365 Cloud PC management
🔒

Essential Eight Compliance

ACSC-Aligned Security Uplift

  • Essential Eight maturity assessment
  • Gap analysis & remediation roadmap
  • Application control implementation
  • Patch management & OS hardening

  • Admin privilege restriction
  • Microsoft 365 security hardening
  • Audit-ready documentation & evidence

Microsoft 365 & Azure Security

Cloud Security Architecture

Your Microsoft 365 and Azure environment is likely under-configured for security. We review your tenant, tighten the controls, and implement the security features that are already included in your existing licences — often saving you money while improving your posture.

  • Entra ID (Azure AD) configuration
  • Conditional access policy design
  • Defender for Endpoint & Office 365
  • Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
  • Microsoft Purview compliance
  • Azure security posture review
  • Licensing optimisation
  • Identity & access governance
