Government & Public Sector Technology
Secure, accessible digital services that meet the standards Australian government actually holds you to. We build for IRAP assessment, the Essential Eight and data sovereignty from day one.
Government software is judged on more than function: it must demonstrate security, accessibility, data sovereignty and value for public money. We build systems aligned to the Information Security Manual and the ACSC Essential Eight, designed to support IRAP assessment, delivered against the Digital Service Standard, and hosted in sovereign Australian environments.
Challenges we solve
Security and IRAP alignment
Agencies expect systems assessed against the ISM and prepared for IRAP, with the Essential Eight mitigations in place. Security controls and evidence need to be built in, not bolted on before an assessment.
Data sovereignty and hosting
Government data frequently must remain onshore and under Australian control. Hosting decisions, provider certifications and data flows all need to be demonstrably sovereign.
Accessibility and inclusion
Public services must be usable by everyone, which means meeting WCAG accessibility standards and the Digital Service Standard. Accessibility is a legal and ethical baseline, not an enhancement.
Legacy modernisation without disruption
Critical services often run on ageing systems that cannot simply be switched off. Modernisation has to be incremental, low-risk and continuous throughout.
Secure delivery aligned to the Essential Eight and ISM
We build and operate systems with security controls mapped to the Information Security Manual and the Essential Eight, and we prepare the documentation and evidence agencies need for IRAP assessment. Security is embedded in the development pipeline rather than reviewed at the end.
- Essential Eight mitigations and ISM-aligned controls
- Support for IRAP assessment with documented evidence
- Sovereign Australian hosting and clear data residency
- Secure DevOps with automated security testing
Accessible, standards-based citizen services
We deliver digital services against the Digital Service Standard and WCAG, tested with real users including those with accessibility needs, so services are inclusive and defensible.
- WCAG-conformant, accessibility-tested interfaces
- User research and iterative delivery aligned to the Digital Service Standard
- Integration with identity and existing agency systems
Legacy modernisation and cloud
We modernise legacy systems incrementally, wrapping and replacing components so services stay available throughout. Cloud migration is planned around sovereignty, cost and operational risk rather than a big-bang cutover.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you build to the Essential Eight and support IRAP assessment?
- Yes. We align systems to the ACSC Essential Eight and the Information Security Manual, embed security controls in delivery, and produce the documentation and evidence needed to support an IRAP assessment.
- Can you guarantee Australian data sovereignty?
- We design for onshore hosting in sovereign Australian environments with clearly documented data flows and residency, and we select infrastructure and providers whose certifications meet your agency's sovereignty requirements.
- How do you approach accessibility for public services?
- We build to WCAG and the Digital Service Standard and test with real users, including people who rely on assistive technology, so services are accessible by default rather than remediated after launch.
