Sydney's specialist Identity and Access Management consultancy.
Modern 42 partners with Sydney banks, insurers, ASX-listed enterprises and NSW Government agencies to engineer modern identity platforms on Microsoft Entra ID and BeyondTrust. Australian-owned, AGSVA cleared, identity-specialist from day one.
Identity specialists for Sydney organisations.
Sydney is Australia's financial services capital and home to two of the top 10 ASX-listed organisations we already work with. Our Sydney engagements focus on what NSW boards care about most: APRA CPS 234 alignment, board-ready identity risk reporting, Conditional Access frameworks that survive M&A activity, and PAM programs that hold up under regulator scrutiny.
We are not a generalist IT consultancy with a Sydney address, we are 100% identity specialists. Our Sydney work spans Microsoft Entra ID engineering, BeyondTrust PAM delivery, IGA platform selection, and ongoing managed identity services for organisations that need senior identity capacity without the overheads of building it internally.
100% Australian-owned. Sovereign delivery into Sydney.
Sydney 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 Sydney
Modern 42 runs a large hybrid workforce, including senior identity consultants based in Sydney who work on-site at customer offices across the CBD, North Sydney, Macquarie Park and Parramatta. We work the way Sydney enterprise teams work, senior practitioners at the table, not slide carriers.
AGSVA Cleared Engineers
Our engineers hold active Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA) clearances. For federal and security-sensitive Sydney engagements, that means our team can work within classified and sensitive environments without additional vetting delays.
