Managed IT for financial services — CPS 234-aware operations.

Service Desk, M365 and identity for APRA-regulated mid-market. Co-managed with your internal team. Named accountability. Audit-grade tickets. Engineering depth from Colombo for everything that isn't security.

Two states, one operating model

The IT-Manager state at a mid-market FS is specific: ticket queue running, but the audit-evidence story is thin. Co-managed in name, MSP-led in practice. CPS 234 §15 control-test season approaches and the documentation is in seven different places.

The Head-of-Risk state is sharper: the IT operating model has to translate into risk-register language. Tolerable disruption windows, dependency registers, control-effectiveness ratings, evidence retention. None of which the average MSP produces.

We built our Service Desk for both states.

How we work with mid-market FS IT teams

  1. Co-managed Service Desk with named accountability

    Your team keeps ownership. Our team embeds. Single named technical lead and single named lead on the account.

  2. Audit-grade ticketing and evidence retention

    Every ticket categorised, mapped, retained. CPS 234 §15 control-test ready. Quarterly evidence pack included on Defence-equivalent service tiers.

  3. Identity and M365 hardened to CPS 234 §35–§36

    Conditional Access, PIM, MFA on privileged paths, sovereign data location. Mapped line-by-line.

  4. ITIL-aligned, no surprises

    Boring done well. SLA targets published. First-fix rates published quarterly. Change management with the discipline a regulator expects.

  5. Engineering depth from Colombo for everything that isn't security

    Migrations, integrations, identity rollouts, M365 work. Named, accountable. Security work itself stays with senior named analysts — that line never moves.

Senior security with named accountability. Engineering depth from Colombo for everything that isn't security.
