Melbourne's specialist Identity and Access Management consultancy.
Modern 42 partners with Victorian Government, Melbourne banks, healthcare networks and ASX retail and property groups to engineer modern identity platforms on Microsoft Entra ID, Entra External ID and BeyondTrust. Specialist depth, not generalist consultancy.
Identity specialists for Melbourne organisations.
Melbourne is one of our strongest delivery markets outside Canberra. We work with Victorian Government departments on workforce IAM and CIAM, with national health services organisations on Conditional Access uplift, and with Melbourne-headquartered ASX retail and property groups on multi-year PAM and IGA programs.
We engineer for the Victorian context, protective security frameworks, Cyber Incident Response Service (CIRS) expectations, and the operational realities of running identity for organisations that span universities, councils, statewide health networks and national retail footprints.
100% Australian-owned. Sovereign delivery into Melbourne.

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 Melbourne
Modern 42 consultants regularly work on-site with Melbourne clients across the CBD, Docklands and inner-east. Engagements are delivered by our Australian-based team, with senior architects backing every work package, no fly-in, fly-out staff from offshore.
