Pick one from each row to unlock

Compliance shouldn't require a new $30k/year platform.

Most consultants will tell you that getting ISO 27001 or SOC 2 means buying a GRC platform — Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, or one of the Australian alternatives. Then they'll spend three months configuring it, train your team on yet another tool, and bill you for both.

We deliver the same certifications inside your existing Microsoft 365 environment. Evidence captured in SharePoint. Controls enforced through Intune and Defender. Audit packs assembled in tools you already pay for. No new licences. No new vendor relationships. No platform you'll still be paying for in three years when you've outgrown it.

That's it. That's the whole pitch. You get the certificate, the auditor signs off, and you keep the money you would have spent on tooling.

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.

A recent engagement

One example of how a typical engagement looks end-to-end. Specifics anonymised; numbers are real.

B2B SaaS Platform, 120 employees, Melbourne

The situation: Three enterprise deals stuck in procurement, all waiting for SOC 2 Type II. Sales team needed certification in weeks, not months.

The constraint: Already mid-evaluation of a major GRC platform. Quote came in at $35k/year platform licence plus $60k consulting — $95k year one, $130k over three years.

What we did: Mapped SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria directly to existing M365 controls. Built evidence capture in SharePoint with automated Power BI reporting. No new tools introduced. Type I readiness in 6 weeks, Type II evidence pack delivered alongside.

The outcome: Type II readiness in 10 weeks at less than half the platform-led quote. Three deals closed within 60 days of certification. The reusable evidence pack has since supported multiple subsequent enterprise procurement responses.

"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."

We compete with three things. Here's how we differ from each.

Most buyers are evaluating us against Big 4 consulting, a GRC platform, or another Australian boutique. Honest comparison below.

vs. Big 4 consulting

Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, RSM and similar.

  • Same certifications, 60–80% lower fees
  • Senior practitioner end-to-end, not juniors learning on your project
  • Fixed price, milestone-gated, no scope creep
  • Direct accountability — one point of contact, not a delivery pyramid

vs. GRC platforms

Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, 6clicks and similar.

  • No annual platform licence ($45–180k saved over 3 years)
  • No new tool for your team to learn or maintain
  • Evidence lives in Microsoft 365, where your team already works
  • Senior practitioner included — not just software

vs. Other Australian boutiques

CyberSapiens, Cyber Forte, CyberPulse and similar.

  • Microsoft 365-native delivery, not framework-agnostic templates
  • ISO 42001 (AI Governance) early-mover specialisation
  • 100% first-time pass rate, documented across all engagements
  • Cross-framework mapping — one evidence set, multiple certifications

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

"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, with no annual GRC platform licence on top. We scope honestly so there are no surprises.

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.
