Most SMEs do not need a lab. They need one or two AI use cases in production, governed properly, supported after go-live. We scope, build and support them using the same disciplines we ran inside enterprise IT.
Sydney operating base · On-site across NSW · Remote across Australia
A two-week review of your processes, data estate and tooling. Every candidate use case scored on value, effort, data sensitivity and regulatory exposure.
Licensing, delivery, change and run costs against a measurable benefit. Written the way an enterprise investment committee expects, sized for an SME approval.
Tenant hardening, data boundary and permission review, DLP and retention settings, and pilot rollout to a controlled user group before any wide release.
AI acceptable use policy, human-in-the-loop rules, AI risk register and vendor assessment records mapped to ISO 42001 and the Australian Voluntary AI Safety Standard.
Role-based sessions on what to use AI for, what never to paste into it, and how to check output. Includes a short internal guide your team keeps.
A monthly retainer covering usage review, incident triage, vendor changes, roadmap updates and a written board or owner update.
Identify your primary AI use case, then secure the environment before you scale it. Twenty-five practical checks used on live SME engagements, written for a business without a compliance department.
Most SME AI programmes stall because they start with a tool instead of a decision. Pick one use case that carries measurable value and acceptable data exposure, and park the rest.

Not another consulting firm. Former enterprise CIOs bringing operator-grade cyber and AI leadership to Australian SMEs.
Cyber strategy, compliance and AI sit with one operator who has led technology inside banking, healthcare, higher education and government.
ISO 42001 practitioners. We secure the enterprise for AI before spinning up flashy tools. Frameworks first, tooling second.
Cybersecurity strategy, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 compliance, and AI consulting delivered as one plan with shared evidence and a single audit cycle.
Sydney-based, delivering across NSW. On-site when it matters, remote-first when it does not.
Every engagement includes FORTE/CYBERx platform access. Our consultants use it live in your board meetings — you keep using it after we leave.
Share the decision or constraint. A senior operator replies within one business day — no sales pod, no scripted discovery.
Run two full decision analyses free, compare practical paths and create a Decision Record and Tactical Plan.
Usually yes, but only for a narrow set of tasks. The businesses that get value start with two or three high-volume, low-risk workflows — quoting, document drafting, customer triage, reporting — rather than an organisation-wide rollout. We size the work to the return.
The same person who has run enterprise technology governance sits in your leadership meetings. You get enterprise discipline on data, vendors, risk and change management without carrying an executive salary.
Only if the tenancy is configured for it. We review data boundaries, permissions, retention and DLP before any rollout, and we set explicit rules for what may never be entered into a public tool.
No certification is required. We use ISO 42001 and the Australian Voluntary AI Safety Standard as the shape of the governance so you are ready if a client, insurer or regulator asks.
Most failures happen in month three, not week one. Our support retainer covers adoption review, prompt and workflow refinement, vendor updates, incident triage and a written update for your board or owner.
Fixed-scope for the review and implementation phases, then a monthly retainer for support. Pricing is consultative and scoped after a discovery call.
