What we hear from Mackay mining services SMBs
The four problems that come up on almost every first call from Paget, Mackay Harbour and the Bowen Basin.
FIFO crews on multiple prime contractor portals
Engineers fly out of Mackay airport into Moranbah, Dysart, Coppabella and Middlemount and end up logging into a different system at every site. No central identity, no MFA, no easy way to offboard a contractor when they roll off.
Workshop laptops in cyclone country
Paget and Mackay Harbour workshops still rely on local file servers and on-prem AD. One serious wet season event and the business is offline for days, not hours. Insurers now expect immutable backup with tested restores.
Prime contractor security questionnaires
Winning ongoing Bowen Basin work increasingly means filling in a 60-page questionnaire mapped to ACSC Essential Eight, ISO 27001 and DISP. Most Mackay mining services SMBs cannot evidence half the controls being asked for.
Site laptops getting lost or stolen
Laptops travel through Mackay, Brisbane and Townsville airports every week. Without enforced BitLocker, conditional access and remote wipe, a lost laptop becomes a notifiable incident under the Privacy Act.
What we deliver
The same controls primes ask for, delivered as a managed service from a Mackay-aware MSP.
Hardened, encrypted FIFO laptops
BitLocker enforced, conditional access tied to compliant devices, remote wipe ready, EDR on every endpoint. Laptops you can lose between Mackay and Moranbah without losing the business.
Secure remote access for Bowen Basin engineers
Identity-based access through Microsoft Entra ID and Conditional Access instead of legacy site VPNs. Engineers log in once and reach what they need across Moranbah, Dysart, Coppabella and Middlemount.
Essential Eight uplift for prime 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 Paget workshop server. Survives cyclone season because nothing critical lives on a single piece of regional hardware.
DISP and prime contractor evidence
We help Mackay 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 Mackay head office, Paget workshop, Bowen Basin site offices and any Brisbane or Townsville presence. Same security baseline, same engineers, same monthly invoice.
