Why Sydney
A Microsoft 365 CSP that configures what it sells.
Sydney's Microsoft 365 market is crowded with commodity resellers. Modern 42 competes on depth, not just price: we are a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security with an Identity and Access Management specialisation, and two of the top 10 ASX-listed organisations are clients of our identity practice.
Sydney also concentrates both the regulation and the risk. APRA-regulated banks, insurers and super funds answer to CPS 234 and CPS 230, critical-infrastructure operators fall under the SOCI Act, and financial services remain a leading target for ransomware and identity-based attack. For these organisations the Microsoft 365 plan they choose determines which Entra ID, Defender and Purview controls can be switched on to evidence those obligations, so licensing and security posture cannot be treated as separate problems.
It also means we right-size your licensing rather than upsell it. We review how your teams operate, the obligations you answer to, and the subscriptions you already pay for, then recommend the Microsoft 365 mix that matches your organisation, often a blend of tiers across different roles, consolidated overlapping plans, or trimmed seats you are no longer using.

FAQ
Microsoft 365 CSP in Sydney
Common questions from Sydney enterprises buying or switching Microsoft 365 licensing.
Yes. Right-sizing is central to how we work, and as a security specialist we focus on fit rather than the biggest SKU. We review how your teams operate, the regulatory obligations you carry such as APRA CPS 234 and CPS 230, and the plans and add-ons you already hold, then recommend the Microsoft 365 mix that matches. That can mean different tiers for different roles, consolidating overlapping subscriptions, or trimming seats you are not using. Our pricing calculator lets you model the options, and a short licensing review confirms the right plan for your fleet.
Both standards put your information security and operational resilience, including material technology service providers, under scrutiny. The licence tier you buy determines which Entra ID, Conditional Access, Defender and Purview controls are even available to you. Modern 42 helps you choose a plan that supports the controls you need, and configures and evidences them, which is something a commodity reseller cannot do.
Microsoft confirmed increases from 1 July 2026 for plans including Microsoft 365 E3 and E5, with Business Premium and Office 365 E1 held flat. The new price applies at your next renewal after 1 July, so renewing before 30 June can lock current pricing for your term. We run a pre-renewal review to confirm whether that is the right move for your fleet.
It depends on your size, your regulatory obligations and which security capabilities you will actually use. Business Premium (held flat in July 2026) is strong value for organisations up to 300 seats. E5 unlocks Entra ID P2 (including Privileged Identity Management) and the full Defender and Purview stack. We use our pricing calculator and a short review to recommend the right tier rather than the most expensive one.
Yes. Switching CSP partner does not move your Microsoft 365 tenant, mailboxes, SharePoint or Entra ID objects. Only the billing relationship and delegated administration change. We coordinate the Partner Center transfer with you and your current partner. See our guide on how to switch your Microsoft CSP partner.
It is a Microsoft designation, with an additional Identity and Access Management specialisation, that recognises demonstrated capability across the Microsoft security and identity stack. For a regulated buyer it means the partner behind your licences can actually design and operate Conditional Access, Entra ID Governance and Privileged Identity Management, not just sell you the SKU.
Copilot inherits your existing access model, so oversharing and weak identity governance become AI problems fast. We get your data access, sensitivity labelling and identity posture right before rollout. We can supply the Copilot licences and do the readiness work as one engagement.
