The Challenge
Defence work demands PROTECTED. Building it is hard
If you're part of Australia's defence supply chain, you already know the bar is high. Defence contracts increasingly require suppliers to handle information at PROTECTED or OFFICIAL:Sensitive, and that means building an IT Environment that meets ISM controls and Essential 8 maturity levels.
For most organisations, that means standing up a separate, hardened environment: dedicated tenancies, endpoint controls, gateway configurations, audit logging, and continuous compliance monitoring. It's a significant investment in time, expertise, and capital, and it's table stakes before you can start the actual work.
On top of that, Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) membership requires you to implement Essential 8 maturity programs, or PROTECTED systems once you progress past entry level. Meeting these obligations is essential for winning and retaining defence contracts, but the compliance burden can be overwhelming - especially for SMEs.
Our Approach
A managed workspace that handles the hard parts
Oasys Cloud takes a different approach. Instead of asking you to build and maintain a PROTECTED-grade environment from scratch, we provide one as a managed service, ready for your team from day one.
Every workspace comes with Microsoft 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, ISM hardening, and up to Essential Eight Maturity Level 3 baselines already applied. You get your own isolated tenant, completely separate from other organisations, with all the security controls Defence expects.
ISM Hardened
Every control mapped to the ISM, with continuous compliance monitoring and automated reporting.
Virtual Desktop
Secure Azure Virtual Desktop with managed endpoints, accessible from any approved device.
Partner Collaboration
Work securely with Defence primes and other contractors using Teams, SharePoint, and controlled sharing.
Essential Eight
Maturity Level 3 baselines applied out of the box: patching, MFA, application control, and more.
Compliance
Supporting your DISP obligations
The Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) is the Australian Government's framework for assessing and managing the security of defence industry. As a DISP member, you're expected to demonstrate maturity in cyber security, and have systems endorsed for PROTECTED as you move up higher levels of membership.
Oasys Cloud directly supports your cyber security obligations. Our managed workspace provides the technical controls, monitoring, and evidence you need to satisfy DISP assessments without building a dedicated environment yourself.
We provide continuous compliance reporting, audit-ready documentation, and direct support during your DISP assessment cycles. When DISP or DCIAB need evidence that your environment meets the standard, you'll have it.
Who It's For
Built for the defence supply chain
Whether you're a prime contractor managing multi-billion dollar programs or an SME delivering specialist engineering services, the compliance requirements are the same. Oasys Cloud levels the playing field by giving every organisation in the supply chain access to the same PROTECTED-grade infrastructure.
Defence Primes
Large contractors who need isolated environments for specific programs or contracts, with the flexibility to scale up and down as programs move through phases.
SME Contractors
Specialist firms that deliver critical capabilities but lack the internal IT resources to build and maintain a PROTECTED environment on their own.
Technology Vendors
Software and technology companies entering the defence market who need a compliant environment to develop, test, and deliver solutions to Defence customers.
