What we hear from mining services SMBs

The four problems that come up on almost every first call.

Engineers on six different VPNs

FIFO and DIDO crews end up logging into a different prime contractor portal at every site. No central identity, no MFA enforcement, no easy way to offboard a contractor when they roll off a project.

Site laptops getting lost or stolen

Laptops travel through Brisbane, Mackay and Perth airports every week. Without enforced encryption, remote wipe and conditional access, a lost laptop becomes a notifiable incident.

Prime contractor security questionnaires

Winning Bowen Basin, Pilbara or Goldfields work increasingly means filling in a 60-page security questionnaire. Most mining services SMBs cannot evidence half the controls being asked for.

On-prem servers in cyclone country

Workshops in Mackay, Karratha, Townsville and Port Hedland still rely on local file servers. One serious wet season event and the business is offline for days, not hours.

What we deliver

The same controls primes ask for, delivered as a managed service.

Hardened, encrypted site laptops

BitLocker enforced, conditional access tied to compliant devices, remote wipe ready, EDR on every endpoint. Site laptops you can lose without losing the business.

Secure remote access for FIFO crews

Modern identity-based access (Entra ID, Conditional Access, ZTNA where it makes sense) instead of legacy VPNs. Engineers log in once and reach what they need across any prime contractor system.

Essential Eight uplift for tenders

Mapped to ACSC Essential Eight maturity levels, with documented evidence ready for prime contractor security questionnaires, cyber insurance renewals and SOCI Act obligations.

Cloud-first M365 and Azure

Microsoft 365 hardened to a defensible baseline. Files in SharePoint, not a workshop server. Survives cyclone season because nothing critical lives on a single piece of regional hardware.

DISP and prime contractor evidence

We help mining services suppliers produce the documentation primes actually want. Network diagrams, identity policy, incident response plan, patch evidence, backup test logs, the lot.

Multi-site IT consistency

One IT setup across Brisbane head office, Mackay workshop, Pilbara accommodation and Perth admin. Same security baseline, same engineers, same monthly invoice.
