Newcastle and Hunter region identity and access management consultancy.
Modern 42 delivers identity and privileged access engineering for Hunter-region councils, universities, energy and industrial operators on Microsoft Entra ID and BeyondTrust. Specialist depth from an Australian-owned team that ships outcomes, not slide decks.
Identity specialists for Newcastle organisations.
The Hunter is one of the most economically diverse regions in NSW outside Sydney. Higher education, councils, energy generation and transmission, port logistics, advanced manufacturing and distributed health services all sit within an hour of Newcastle CBD. The identity environments behind those organisations are anything but small, and they sit in a difficult middle ground for most consultancies: too complex for a generalist local MSP, too distributed for a metropolitan firm that flies in once and disappears.
Modern 42 closes that gap. Hunter-region engagements get the same senior identity specialists we put on our Sydney and Canberra work, with discovery and design run on-site and day-to-day engineering delivered by named resources working to fixed work packages.
100% Australian-owned. Sovereign delivery into Newcastle.
Newcastle 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 Newcastle
Modern 42 consultants travel to Newcastle to run discovery and design workshops on-site with Hunter-region clients. Day-to-day engineering is delivered 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 Newcastle engagements, that means our team can work within classified and sensitive environments without additional vetting delays.
End-to-end identity engineering for Newcastle organisations.
From advisory through engineering to ongoing managed services, every Modern 42 engagement in Newcastle is delivered by named senior identity specialists.
