The Challenge
Public sector IT carries public trust
Government IT has to do more than work. It has to demonstrate, every step of the way, that citizen data is protected, that systems are sovereign, and that the controls expected by the Protective Security Policy Framework and the Information Security Manual are actually in place.
That bar keeps raising. Essential 8 maturity targets, hosting certification, threat activity from state-aligned actors, and a steady push toward PROTECTED for more workloads have all added weight to the same teams. Hyperscaler clouds offer scale, but operator sovereignty, data residency, and shared-tenancy concerns mean they aren't the answer on their own.
For agencies running ageing on-premises environments, the choice is uncomfortable: keep maintaining infrastructure that drains budget and attention, or move to a cloud model that needs months of compliance work before it can carry sensitive workloads.
Our Approach
A sovereign workspace, operated for you
Oasys Cloud is a fully managed Microsoft 365 environment, built and operated in Australia for the Australian public sector. Every tenant is isolated, hardened to ISM controls, and aligned to Essential Eight Maturity Level 3 from day one.
Your agency gets Microsoft 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, and the supporting controls - identity, endpoints, logging, gateway, monitoring - assembled and running as a single managed service. Sovereign hosting, Australian operators, Australian support. No offshore access, no surprise dependencies.
Sovereign by Design
Australian data centres, Australian-owned operator, Australian-citizen support. Sovereignty isn't an option to enable - it's the default.
PSPF & ISM Aligned
Controls mapped to the PSPF and ISM with continuous compliance monitoring and assessment-ready evidence packs.
Essential Eight ML3
Patching, MFA, application control, macro hardening, and backups applied out of the box - the ASD baseline, ready on day one.
Fully Managed
Patching, monitoring, incident response, change, and identity all operated by our team. Your IT staff lead outcomes, not platform plumbing.
Compliance
Meeting your PSPF and ISM obligations
Government agencies have to evidence their controls, not just implement them. The PSPF expects you to assess and treat security risks across information, personnel, physical, and governance domains. The ISM expects detailed implementation of the controls underneath. Both expect you to show your work.
Oasys Cloud is built to inherit the platform-level controls and the evidence to back them. We map each control to its source in the ISM, run continuous compliance monitoring, and provide the artefacts assessors and auditors expect to see - configuration baselines, logs, change records, and incident history.
When your agency's next IRAP assessment, internal audit, or ANAO review comes around, the platform's compliance posture is documented, traceable, and ready to hand over.
Who It's For
Built for Australian public sector
Whether you run a large federal department or a small council, the obligations are the same in kind, even if they differ in scale. Oasys Cloud gives every agency the same sovereign, PROTECTED-grade foundation - sized to suit your workload and budget.
Federal Departments & Agencies
Commonwealth entities modernising legacy environments, standing up new programs, or carving out isolated workspaces for sensitive workloads, without expanding internal infrastructure teams.
State & Territory Government
State agencies and statutory bodies that need a sovereign workspace meeting national PSPF and ISM expectations, with the operational support to keep it that way.
Local Government & Councils
Councils facing the same compliance and cyber expectations as larger agencies, without the in-house security and platform teams. A managed sovereign workspace, sized for your community.
