Vendor management
Stop sitting on hold to your internet provider.
The internet drops, the phones stop, a software tool throws an error. Someone in your team ends up on hold, logging tickets in portals they have never seen. Call us instead. We work out which supplier owns the problem and chase them until it is fixed.
- No markup
- Contracts stay in your name
- Renewals tracked

Licence check
What are unused licences costing you?
Three numbers from your last invoice and your staff list. Most businesses find at least a few seats belonging to people who have left.
Paying for nobody
$2,160a year
- Unused licences

- Each month
- $180
Money out, and a login nobody watches.
An account that belongs to someone who left is still a way in. We check every licence against your staff list, cancel what nobody needs and close the old accounts.
Licences are one line on a long supplier list. We do the same for internet, phones and every software subscription.
Supplier risk
Your suppliers are part of your security.
Every supplier with a login to your systems is a way in. Knowing who has access to what, and taking it away when the work ends, is part of managing them.

Questions
What people ask before they call.
Do we have to move our contracts to you?
No. Contracts and billing stay in your name. We are added as an authorised contact so we can raise faults and tickets for you. If a better option comes up at renewal, we tell you and you decide.
Do you add a markup to supplier pricing?
No. You pay the supplier directly at their rate. Managing them is part of the service, and the savings come from catching unused licences, missed credits and bad renewals.
Which suppliers can you manage?
Internet and phone carriers like Telstra, Optus, TPG and Aussie Broadband, plus software providers such as Microsoft, Google, Xero, MYOB and Adobe. If yours is not on that list, we will still manage it.
Why does supplier management matter for security?
Because your suppliers can reach your data. Nearly half of breaches in the 2026 Verizon DBIR involved a third party. Knowing who has access to what, and closing accounts nobody uses, is part of the job.
What happens if one of our suppliers has a data breach?
If your customers' personal information was involved, it can still be your breach to assess and report. Under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, a business covered by the Privacy Act generally has up to 30 days to assess a suspected breach, and must notify the OAIC and the people affected if serious harm is likely. We find out from the supplier what was exposed, cut their access if needed and help you through the assessment.
Next step
Send us your supplier list.
We will tell you what is due for renewal, what is unused and what needs attention.
