Why It Matters

Why choose an Australian-owned Microsoft identity partner?

Identity is the foundation of your organisation's security posture. Choosing a Microsoft Entra consulting partner in Australia means working with engineers who understand the regulatory landscape, security clearance requirements, and procurement frameworks unique to Australian government and enterprise organisations.

As a 100% Australian-owned Microsoft identity partner, Modern 42 provides genuine sovereign capability. All delivery is performed by our local team — your data, your environment, and your identity architecture are supported entirely within Australia by AGSVA cleared engineers.

We are not a generalist IT consultancy that dabbles in identity. Modern 42 specialises exclusively in Identity and Access Management, Privileged Access Management, and Cloud Security. Every engagement benefits from the depth that comes with focused specialisation across advisory, engineering, and managed services.

From initial assessment through to ongoing managed services, our Microsoft Entra consulting covers every aspect of your identity environment.

Discuss your Entra ID requirements

Conditional Access Framework & Review

We review your Conditional Access policies to identify bypass risks and coverage gaps, then design a framework that keeps your security posture strong as your environment evolves. Start with our Conditional Access Review advisory service.

Entra ID Architecture & Deployment

Our engineers design and deploy Microsoft Entra ID environments tailored to your organisation's requirements. From greenfield implementations to optimising existing tenants. See our full Secure Entra ID engineering service.

Identity Lifecycle Management

Joiner, mover, leaver automation driven by your HR source of truth. Provision, update, and deprovision accounts consistently across Entra ID and connected systems. Part of our Workforce IAM & IGA service.

Identity Observability & Monitoring

Continuous visibility across your entire identity estate through our identity observability platform, Apporetum. Correlate data across HR, AD, Entra ID, and disconnected systems from a single pane of glass.

Privileged Access Management

Secure your most sensitive accounts with privileged access management. We implement PIM, just-in-time access, and BeyondTrust PAM solutions alongside your Entra ID environment.

SSO Application Migration

Migrate legacy application authentication to Entra ID single sign-on, reducing credential sprawl and improving your security posture. Our SSO migration service handles SAML, OIDC, and legacy protocols.

Entra External ID & CIAM

Migrating from Azure AD B2C? Our B2C to Entra External ID migration service handles the full lifecycle with zero customer disruption. Start with a CIAM readiness assessment.

Application Governance

Gain visibility into legacy protocols, highly privileged service principals, and workload identity risks. Our application governance assessment uncovers risks and establishes ongoing controls.

IAM Strategy & Architecture Advisory

Before engineering begins, get the strategy right. Our IAM & PAM strategy and architecture advisory services establish the direction and design before a single configuration change is made.

Australian-Owned Microsoft Partner

100% Australian-owned. Sovereign identity delivery.

For Australian organisations that require sovereign capability, Modern 42 delivers without compromise.

Wholly Australian-Owned

Modern 42 is not a subsidiary, franchise, or local arm of an overseas firm. We are wholly Australian-owned, founded in Canberra, and our leadership team is based here. When you engage Modern 42 as your Microsoft identity partner in Australia, your investment stays local.

Canberra HQ, National Reach

Headquartered in Canberra with a Sydney presence, we operate across every major capital city. Being Canberra-based means we understand government procurement frameworks, security clearance requirements, and the sensitivity of public sector identity environments.

AGSVA Cleared Engineers

Our engineers hold active Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA) clearances. For federal government agencies and regulated industries, this means our Microsoft Entra consulting team can work within classified and sensitive environments without additional vetting delays.

Industries

Microsoft Entra consulting across Australia's most regulated sectors.

Our Microsoft Entra consulting clients span the breadth of Australian industry. We have delivered identity projects for federal government agencies, two of the top 10 ASX-listed organisations, and clients across healthcare, transport, pharmaceutical, education, and retail.

Each sector brings unique compliance, regulatory, and operational requirements. Our experience across these environments means we understand the frameworks that matter to your organisation — whether that is the ASD Essential Eight and ISM for government, APRA CPS 234 for financial services, or the Privacy Act for healthcare.
