We assess, design, build and operate identity and privilege platforms for Australia's most regulated organisations. Advisory-led. Engineering-driven. 100% Australian-owned and sovereign.
Trusted by leading Australian organisations
Modern 42 is a specialist identity and privilege consultancy. Our consultants, architects, engineers and developers provide end-to-end services, from strategy and architecture through to hands-on engineering and operations. We are highly experienced, accredited and respected for what we do.
Every engagement starts with understanding your requirements. We work alongside your team to build pragmatic solutions that integrate people, processes, and automation, delivering incremental value and buying down risk. Our philosophy: maximise what you already have, not sell you more licences.
Strategy meets execution. Every Modern 42 engagement is scoped to your needs and right-sized for your organisation.
We like to start by understanding your business, not your technology. Knowing the whys often drives the hows. Identity maturity assessments, IAM strategy and roadmap development, architecture reviews, and zero trust readiness.
Our specialist architects and engineers go beyond the documentation. PAM migrations, identity modernisation, CIAM engineering, and identity observability, delivered by the team that Australia's most complex environments trust.

Different sector, same stakes?
Book a 30-min discussionWe are not a generalist consultancy. Modern 42 specialises in every aspect of your identity perimeter: workforce, partner, customer, agentic, privileged, and non-person identities. Each engagement is shaped to your needs.
Our engineers don't just implement, they are guided by senior advisory that understands your business context first. We tailor technology to your needs, from no-code configuration through to full end-to-end delivery.
We listen before we advise. Every engagement starts with understanding your challenges, constraints, and goals, then advising on the right direction, not just the fastest one.
Most organisations aren't getting full value from their existing tools. We consolidate what you don't need, maximise the platforms you keep, and close the gap between the security posture you're paying for and the one you have.
Our M42 Labs division discovers and discloses vulnerabilities (CVEs) in the platforms we implement. Our engineers understand these products beyond the documentation, and that knowledge flows directly into every engagement.
Entirely Australian-owned with active security clearances. We deliver sovereign capability for organisations that require it. Your data, environment, and people, all supported locally.
We equip your team to maintain and evolve your identity environment independently. Knowledge transfer is a standard part of every engagement.
Advanced certifications and delivery partnerships with the vendors behind Australia's leading enterprise identity and privilege platforms.
