IT Consulting Perth
Secure, compliant andintelligent systems
We plan, build and hand over AI, security, cloud and network projects for Australian organisations.
The work between IT support and the boardroom
Plenty of providers keep systems running. Fewer can make AI safe to use, take a compliance framework through to working controls, and leave your people able to run what was built. That is the work we are set up for.
AI you can explain to your board
Readiness, Copilot, agents and process automation, designed with defined data access, evaluation and a person in the loop where the risk calls for it. ISO/IEC 42001 when you need to show it.
Explore AI & automation → ComplianceFrom framework to configuration
DISP, RFFR, SMB1001, Essential Eight and ISO/IEC 27001, taken from the requirement to the setting that meets it, with the evidence recorded.
Explore compliance → EducationYour people, trained
Role-based workshops on approved AI tools, safe information handling and checking outputs, and a handover your team can run.
Staff training → AdvisorySenior advice without a full-time hire
Fractional CTO, roadmaps, architecture and vendor selection, with decisions made around your priorities and budget.
Fractional CTO →Start with an assessment
When the environment is unclear, a structured assessment establishes where you stand.
We examine the agreed systems and evidence, identify the gaps and develop a practical improvement roadmap. The findings can guide work delivered by Umbrella Tech, your internal team or your existing provider.
Seven practices, one team
The specialist work comes first. The foundations underneath it, security, cloud and networks, are planned with it so later work builds on what is already in place.
How the practices fit together →-
01
AI & Automation
Get data and permissions ready, train your people, then automate with staff kept in the loop.
-
02
Governance & Compliance
Work towards Essential Eight, SMB1001, ISO 27001 and DISP with controls tied to the systems you run.
-
03
Technology Advisory
Roadmaps, architecture and vendor choices grounded in your priorities and budget.
-
04
Project Delivery
Scoped, managed delivery from discovery through to a documented handover.
-
05
Cybersecurity
Find out where you stand, then put identity, device and network controls in place.
-
06
Microsoft Cloud
Plan, migrate and govern Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams and Azure.
-
07
Network & Infrastructure
Design and upgrade firewalls, Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, servers and backup.
Intelligent workflows with clear controls
We look for opportunities to connect systems, reduce repetitive handling and improve visibility. That can involve APIs, workflow automation, AI assistants or integrations with Microsoft 365 and SharePoint.

Secure by design. Built to be audited.
Security and governance belong in the design of a system.
We consider identity, access, information protection, recovery, logging and operational ownership from the beginning. The controls and evidence are scoped around your organisation’s requirements and maintained through clear responsibilities.
- Designed inControls are part of the architecture, not added after go-live.
- EvidencedDecisions, configuration and test outcomes are recorded.
- OwnedEach control has a clear operational owner after handover.

Assess
Understand the current environment, business requirements, risks and constraints. Confirm what evidence and access are needed.
Design
Define the target system, technical controls, integrations and delivery approach. Record important decisions and dependencies.
Implement
Deliver the agreed changes in a controlled sequence, with responsibilities and communication established before work starts.
Validate
Test the required functions and controls. Record outcomes, resolve defects and make remaining exceptions visible.
Improve
Provide documentation and handover, then identify further opportunities to improve reliability, governance and efficiency.
Specialist capability alongside your team
Umbrella Tech is set up to support organisations whose systems need deliberate design: growing businesses, regulated environments, professional services, resources organisations and government suppliers. We work directly with clients, or alongside internal IT teams and MSPs.
