Brisbane's specialist Identity and Access Management consultancy.
Modern 42 partners with Queensland Government, Brisbane banks, resources operators, Queensland Health and SEQ universities to engineer modern identity platforms on Microsoft Entra ID and BeyondTrust. Australian-owned, AGSVA cleared, identity-specialist from day one.
Identity specialists for Brisbane organisations.
Brisbane and South East Queensland sit at the intersection of state government, resources, energy, health, banking and a fast-growing 2032-Olympics technology footprint. The identity environments behind those organisations rarely look like Sydney or Melbourne ones, they are more federated, more geographically distributed, and more dependent on contractor and vendor workforces.
We engineer for that reality. Our Brisbane engagements span IAM strategy and roadmap delivery, Microsoft Entra ID engineering, BeyondTrust PAM, and ongoing managed identity services, all delivered by senior identity specialists from our Australian team.
100% Australian-owned. Sovereign delivery into Brisbane.
Brisbane organisations engaging Modern 42 work with an Australian-owned, identity-specialist team. No offshore handoffs, no generalist consultancy padding.
Wholly Australian-Owned
Not a subsidiary, franchise or local arm of an overseas firm. Modern 42 is wholly Australian-owned, founded in Canberra, and our leadership team is based here. Your IP and identity architecture stay in Australia.
Delivering into Brisbane
Modern 42 consultants travel to Brisbane to run discovery and design workshops on-site with SEQ clients. Day-to-day engineering is delivered remotely by our Australian-based team, the same senior identity specialists that work with our Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne clients.
AGSVA Cleared Engineers
Our engineers hold active Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA) clearances. For federal and security-sensitive Brisbane engagements, that means our team can work within classified and sensitive environments without additional vetting delays.
End-to-end identity engineering for Brisbane organisations.
From advisory through engineering to ongoing managed services, every Modern 42 engagement in Brisbane is delivered by named senior identity specialists.
