Digital61 Modern Workplace

Modern workplace, secure by design

Give your people the tools to work from anywhere without widening the attack surface. We build the Microsoft workplace properly: managed identity, managed devices, managed collaboration, and a change program so people actually adopt it.

Secure. Collaborative. Ready for the future of work.

A selection of the organisations our engineers deliver for.

Capability

What we deliver

A modern workplace is not a licence purchase. It is identity, devices, collaboration and security configured to one baseline, then kept there. We deliver all four together because securing any one of them in isolation moves the risk rather than removing it.

Identity and access management Entra ID with conditional access, multi factor and passwordless authentication, built on Zero Trust principles rather than on a perimeter that no longer exists.

Device lifecycle management Intune managed enrolment, configuration, patching and retirement, including Autopilot provisioning so a new starter is productive on day one.

Collaboration and productivity Microsoft 365, Teams and SharePoint designed around how your teams work, with governance on sharing, retention and external access.

Endpoint security and compliance Defender for Endpoint, compliance policies and attack surface reduction, monitored so that drift is caught rather than discovered at audit.

Change enablement and adoption Communications, champions and training, because the return on a workplace program depends entirely on whether people change how they work.

Information protection Purview sensitivity labelling, data loss prevention and retention, so information is classified and controlled without slowing anyone down.

Clients

Who we work with

Both sectors are solving the same problem, which is how to support flexible work without loosening control. What differs is the evidence required and the pace of decision making.

Public sector

Who. Agencies, departments and councils modernising from legacy desktop fleets and on premises collaboration platforms.
Assurance. Configuration aligned to the Essential Eight, the Information Security Manual and the Protective Security Policy Framework, with control mapping supplied.
Sovereignty. Australian based delivery, data residency decided deliberately, and security cleared engineers where the environment requires it.
Procurement. Delivered through established government panels and arrangements, with the design and privacy documentation your gate reviews expect.
Records. Retention, classification and records obligations designed in from the start rather than retrofitted after go live.

Private sector

Who. Australian mid market and enterprise organisations running Microsoft 365 and wanting more from it.
Drivers. Hybrid work, bring your own device, insurance requirements on multi factor authentication, and client security questionnaires.
Cost. Licence entitlement review first. Most organisations already own capability in Business Premium or E3 that they have never switched on.
Risk. Conditional access, endpoint compliance and data loss prevention that answer the control questions insurers and enterprise customers now ask.
Continuity. Co-managed operation after go live, so your internal team keeps ownership while we hold the baseline.

If a workplace program has stalled halfway, the usual cause is that identity and device management were treated as separate projects. That is the first thing we look at.

Method

How we engage

The same five steps apply whether we are modernising an agency fleet or an enterprise tenant.

DiscoverA short paid assessment of your tenant, identity configuration, device estate and licence entitlement. You keep the findings.
DesignA target configuration baseline covering identity, device, collaboration and data protection, costed and with the risks named up front.
AssureControl mapping against the frameworks you report to, plus the change, privacy and records documentation your governance requires.
DeliverStaged rollout by ring, with pilot groups, agreed rollback points, and a communications and training program running alongside.
TransitionHandover to your team or to Digital61 managed services, with documentation, runbooks and ongoing baseline enforcement.

Assurance

Standards and assurance

One baseline, one set of artefacts. Public sector clients need it for their assessors, and private sector clients increasingly need the same evidence for insurers, customers and boards.

Independent assessment, security clearances and industry recognition, held so that our clients do not have to take our word for it.

Your workforce, empowered and protected

If hybrid work has outgrown the configuration you started with, the first step is a short paid assessment of your tenant, your devices and your licence entitlement. You get a costed plan before committing to a program.
