Compliance365 — cyber, privacy and AI governance consulting for Australian organisations

Who we work with

We work with Australian organisations that need to demonstrate cyber, privacy, or AI governance to customers, insurers, regulators, or government procurement panels — and need it done properly, without the Big-4 price tag.

Mid-market & Enterprise

100–500 staff. Complex environments, real operational constraints, and procurement panels that demand evidence — not just a policy document. ISO 27001, Essential Eight, SOC 2, and ISO 42001 with vCISO and steering committee integration.

SaaS & Technology

Enterprise procurement teams require SOC 2 or ISO 27001 before signing. We deliver both — often simultaneously — so your sales team has reusable evidence for every deal, without engineering disruption.

Government & Defence

Defence panel entry, DISP, IRAP, and Essential Eight maturity for government-adjacent organisations. We map your existing M365 stack to ASD and ISM requirements and get you panel-ready.

Healthcare & Regulated Sectors

My Health Records Act, Privacy Act, APRA CPS 234 — we implement ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 together, with DPIA workflows and audit-ready evidence that satisfies both regulators and enterprise health system procurement.

The 3 situations we solve most often

Most clients come to us in one of three situations. If any of these sounds familiar, a 30-minute call is the fastest way forward.

Three common compliance situations: no certification, slow turnaround, credibility gaps

What you get — and what you don't

Our approach is deliberately different from large consulting firms and GRC subscription platforms. Here's the honest comparison.

❌ Traditional consultants & GRC tools

  • 6–18 month timelines
  • Heavy engineering disruption
  • High six-figure costs, often uncapped
  • Generic templates that don't fit your environment
  • New tools forced on your team
  • Junior staff learning on your project
  • Siloed certifications — one at a time

✓ ComplianceReady™ — Compliance365

  • Audit-ready in 8–14 weeks (or 6 months for full ML2 programmes)
  • Zero disruption — everything inside your existing environment
  • Fixed-price, milestone-gated — no surprises
  • Configured to your specific environment, not templates
  • No new tools or licences required for most controls
  • Senior practitioner end-to-end — same person scopes and delivers
  • Multi-framework: ISO 27001 + SOC 2 + Essential Eight together

Our 4-phase ComplianceReady™ system

Structured, fast, and built entirely inside your existing environment. Every phase closes with evidence — no waiting until the end to find out if you'll pass.

01 — Assess

We map exactly what's in scope, identify real gaps against the framework, and produce a prioritised remediation roadmap — using your current Microsoft 365 environment, not a generic template.

02 — Implement

Targeted, minimal remediation. We build controls, policies, workflows, and automated evidence capture directly inside your environment — ring-based deployment so nothing breaks operations.

03 — Evidence

Evidence captured at the point of change — never reconstructed afterwards. Each milestone pack is QA reviewed for completeness, defensibility, and currency before sign-off.

04 — Certify

Full support through external certification — assessor Q&A, final evidence packaging, and a calm, surprise-free audit experience. 100% first-time pass rate across all engagements.

Frameworks we deliver

All frameworks are delivered using the same methodology and evidence infrastructure — so if you need more than one, the work overlaps rather than duplicates.

ISO 27001

Information security management. Gap analysis, risk treatment, SoA, and audit-ready evidence automated in Microsoft 365. The baseline certification most enterprise and government buyers require.

Essential Eight

ASD's eight cyber security controls assessed and uplifted to ML2. Fixed-price, milestone-gated with ASD-aligned evidence packs. Mandatory for Commonwealth entities, increasingly required across mid-market and government supply chains.

Learn more →

ISO 42001 — AI Governance

AI Management System covering model inventory, risk assessments, human oversight, and monitoring. Aligned to the Australian AI Safety Standard and EU AI Act supply chain obligations. The certification enterprise AI buyers are demanding in 2025.

Learn more →

SOC 2 Type I & II

Trust Services Criteria mapped to your systems. Type I and Type II readiness with reusable, automated evidence. The certification US and global enterprise buyers require before signing SaaS contracts.

Learn more →

ISO 27701 — Privacy

Extends ISO 27001 into privacy management. DPIAs, ROPAs, data rights workflows, and third-party privacy risk — all streamlined inside Microsoft 365 without new tools. Aligned to the Australian Privacy Act and GDPR obligations.

Learn more →

DISP / ISM / IRAP

Defence Industry Security Programme, Information Security Manual, and IRAP assessment readiness. Map your existing Microsoft E5 environment to ASD and ISM requirements and get government panel-ready.

Also available: NIST CSF — mapped to ISO 27001 and Essential Eight.

What clients say

"We needed ISO 27001 for a state government contract. Compliance365 got us certified in 10 weeks with minimal disruption — using our existing Microsoft stack. No new tools, no consultants on-site. Genuinely a game-changer for our pipeline."

Head of Security — State Government Technology Partner, Canberra

"SOC 2 was a direct sales blocker — three enterprise deals were stuck in procurement. Compliance365 delivered Type II readiness in weeks, at a fraction of the usual cost. The reusable evidence pack has since closed multiple six-figure deals."

VP Engineering — B2B SaaS Platform, 120 employees, Melbourne

"Implementing ISO 42001 for AI governance felt daunting. Compliance365 made it fast, practical, and fully integrated with our existing processes. Audit-ready in under 3 months — and it immediately opened doors with hospital procurement teams."

CTO — SaaS Medical Platform, Healthcare Tech, Sydney

"We needed ISO 27001 and Essential Eight simultaneously for defence panel entry. Most consultants told us it would take a year. Compliance365 mapped both frameworks to our existing M365 environment and had us panel-ready in 11 weeks."

Common questions

Answered plainly — no jargon, no evasion.

Will this disrupt my engineering or operations team?

No. Everything is built directly inside your existing environment — Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Intune, Defender. No new tools, no forced change management, no endless meetings. Your team stays focused on their actual work.

How long does it actually take?

Assessments deliver in 2–3 weeks. Full uplift and certification programmes typically run 8–14 weeks for SMB scope, and up to 6 months for mid-market programmes covering all controls. We give you a realistic timeline on the first call — not a number designed to win the pitch.

What does it cost?

All engagements are fixed-price with milestone-based payments — you only pay when outcomes are demonstrably delivered. Typical programmes run at 60–80% less than large consulting firms. We scope honestly so there are no surprises.

Which frameworks do you cover?

ISO 27001, ISO 27701 (Privacy), ISO 42001 (AI Governance), SOC 2, Essential Eight, DISP/ISM/IRAP, and NIST CSF — plus cross-framework mappings so a single evidence set covers multiple certifications.

Do we need ISO 42001 for AI Governance?

If you build, deploy, or use AI systems and sell to enterprise or government buyers, ISO 42001 is rapidly becoming a procurement requirement. We deliver it in parallel with ISO 27001 — usually at minimal extra cost.

Can you work with our existing vCISO or security team?

Yes — we regularly operate under vCISO governance and integrate with existing steering committees and risk frameworks. Our delivery methodology plugs into your governance rather than duplicating it.

Can we get multiple certifications at once?

Yes — this is one of our core strengths. We map a single set of controls across ISO 27001, SOC 2, Essential Eight, and ISO 42001 simultaneously, so you avoid duplicated effort and cost.
