Compliance365 is an Australian specialist practice delivering cyber, privacy, and AI governance for mid-market and enterprise organisations — senior-led, fixed-price, with audit-ready evidence at every milestone.
Compliance365 is a deliberately small specialist practice. Engagements are delivered by a senior practitioner end-to-end — the same person who scopes the programme designs the controls, configures the environment, and signs off the evidence. No partner pitching, no junior handover, no account manager between you and the work.
That structure is a choice, not a limitation. We work with a focused number of clients at any one time so that every engagement gets senior attention. If you're looking for a large consultancy with hundreds of consultants and a project pyramid, that's not us. If you want the person who scopes your programme to be the same person delivering it, that's exactly who we are.

15+ years of practitioner experience across Australian SaaS, government-adjacent technology, healthcare, and defence-supply-chain organisations.
Compliance too often arrives as a project that disrupts the organisation, absorbs months of senior time, produces a folder of policies nobody reads, and still leaves the team anxious about the next audit.
We've seen the same pattern across Australian SaaS companies, mid-market manufacturers, regulated healthcare businesses, and government-adjacent technology firms:
The truth is that most organisations already have most of what they need. What's missing is a clear, defensible way to turn existing reality into evidence that auditors, customers, and procurement teams can trust.
Compliance365 was built to close that gap — with a methodology that's lean, repeatable, and built around what auditors actually look for, not what generates the most billable hours.
We're not a large consulting firm, a GRC platform, or an IT managed services provider with a compliance add-on. We're a specialist practice — which means the way we work is structurally different.
Every engagement is delivered by a senior practitioner. The same person who scopes the programme, designs the controls, configures the environment, and signs off the evidence. No handoffs to junior staff, no account manager between you and the person doing the work.
All engagements are fixed-price with milestone-based payments tied to evidenced outcomes. You only pay when controls are demonstrably delivered to the agreed standard. This protects you from cost overruns and aligns our incentives with your outcome — not our utilisation.
We capture configuration exports, policy records, and decision logs as work happens — not retrospectively at milestone close. Evidence that's reconstructed is evidence that doesn't survive scrutiny. Ours does.
Controls, policies, and runbooks are built inside your Microsoft 365 environment — not in a third-party GRC platform that creates dependency and ongoing subscription cost. Everything we build belongs to you from day one.
Where operational reality requires a deviation from the framework, we document it, risk-assess it, time-bound it, and get it approved. ML2 or ISO 27001 with a clean exception register is more defensible than a certificate hiding known gaps.
We work within the Australian regulatory context — PSPF, SOCI Act, Privacy Act, APRA guidance, ASD frameworks. Not a US-first methodology localised for Australian compliance theatre, but a practice built around how Australian procurement, regulation, and assurance actually work.
Engagements completed across Australian SaaS, healthcare, defence-adjacent technology, and government-adjacent organisations.
Three practice areas, all delivered using the same methodology and evidence infrastructure — so if you need more than one, the work overlaps rather than duplicates.
ISO 27001, Essential Eight, SOC 2, DISP/ISM/IRAP, NIST CSF — practical controls, fast uplift, and audit-ready evidence. From first assessment through to certification and ongoing sustainment.
ISO 27701, Australian Privacy Act compliance — DPIAs, ROPAs, data rights workflows, consent management, and third-party privacy risk. Built on top of ISO 27001 so there's no duplication of effort.
ISO 42001 AI Management System — model inventory, risk and impact assessments, human oversight, monitoring, and audit-ready evidence. Aligned to the Australian AI Safety Standard and EU AI Act supply chain obligations.
Five principles that govern how we scope, deliver, and hand over every engagement. Each letter is something we'll be held to — not a slogan.
For example: if you've come to us for ISO 27001 but what you actually need is Essential Eight ML1 to get over a procurement line, we'll tell you that — and scope a smaller engagement. We've turned away work where the client didn't need us yet. The 30-min call is genuinely diagnostic, not a sales pitch.
For example: when an engagement closes, surveillance audit support and follow-on work is offered at preferential rates to existing clients — not at new-engagement pricing. We'd rather earn the next three years of work through trust than maximise revenue on year one. Clients who came to us for SOC 2 have come back for ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and surveillance work.
For example: every control we implement comes with an evidence artefact your team can show an auditor, a customer, or a board. Not a policy document claiming the control exists — a configuration export, a workflow log, a decision record. If it can't be independently verified, it's not done.
For example: two weeks before any external certification audit, we run an internal dress rehearsal of the audit. If we wouldn't pass our own review, we don't book the external one. That discipline — not luck or shortcuts — is what produces the 100% first-time pass rate.
For example: every engagement closes with operational runbooks, configuration repositories, and drift detection in place — so your team can sustain the posture without ongoing dependency on us. You own the policies, the evidence, the M365 configurations. We'd rather build something you can run than something that locks you in.
We work with Australian organisations that need to demonstrate cyber, privacy, or AI governance to customers, insurers, regulators, or government procurement panels.
100–500 staff. Complex environments, real operational constraints, vCISO governance, and procurement panels that demand evidence. ISO 27001, Essential Eight, SOC 2.
Enterprise procurement requires SOC 2 or ISO 27001 before signing. We deliver both — often simultaneously — with reusable evidence for every deal.
Defence panel entry, DISP, IRAP, and Essential Eight maturity for government-adjacent organisations. M365 stack mapped to ASD and ISM requirements.
My Health Records Act, Privacy Act, APRA CPS 234 — ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 delivered together with DPIA workflows and hospital procurement-ready evidence.
A 30-minute call is the fastest way to find out. We'll ask about your situation, tell you honestly what you need, and give you a realistic picture of timeline and cost. No sales pitch, no obligation.
