These facilities serve hybrid cloud architectures, edge computing requirements, and businesses requiring on-premises infrastructure integrated with public cloud services.

Data Sovereignty and Australian Government Requirements

Data sovereignty remains a critical concern for Australian businesses, particularly in regulated industries and government sectors. Understanding and implementing proper data residency controls is fundamental to cloud adoption in Australia.

Australian Data Residency Requirements Australian businesses must comply with the Privacy Act 1988, which governs how personal information is collected, used, and disclosed. For government entities and regulated industries, stricter requirements apply through the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) and industry-specific regulations. Cloud architectures must ensure Australian personal data is stored and processed within Australian borders, with clear controls on data transfers to overseas locations.

IRAP Certification and Protected Certification The Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) provides independent assessment of cloud services against the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM). IRAP Protected certification is required for government agencies handling protected-level information. We design cloud architectures using IRAP-assessed services from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, implementing the security controls required by the ISM.

Essential 8 Implementation The Australian Cyber Security Centre's Essential 8 mitigation strategies form the baseline security requirements for government agencies and increasingly for private sector organizations. Our cloud implementations incorporate Essential 8 controls including application whitelisting, patching applications and operating systems, restricting administrative privileges, and implementing multi-factor authentication across cloud environments.

Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) Government agencies must comply with the PSPF, which establishes requirements for protecting government people, information, and assets. Cloud solutions for government clients must address PSPF Policy 8 (Information Security) and Policy 10 (Safeguarding Information from Cyber Threats). We provide cloud governance frameworks, security architectures, and operational processes that demonstrate PSPF compliance.

Cloud.gov.au Alignment The DTA's cloud.gov.au framework provides guidance for Australian government cloud adoption. We align cloud strategies with this framework, addressing requirements for cloud service assessment, data sovereignty, security, and vendor management. Our approach ensures government clients can confidently adopt cloud services while meeting policy obligations.

Industry-Specific Compliance Financial services must address APRA CPS 234 requirements for information security, healthcare organizations must protect health records under My Health Records legislation and Privacy Act requirements, and telecommunications providers face obligations under the Telecommunications Act. Our cloud solutions incorporate controls specific to each regulatory framework.

Cloud Migration Strategies for Australian Businesses

Cloud migration requires careful planning to minimize risk, control costs, and ensure business continuity. We employ proven methodologies tailored to Australian business requirements and regulatory obligations.

Migration Assessment and Planning Every successful migration begins with comprehensive assessment. We analyze your existing infrastructure, applications, data, and dependencies to develop detailed migration plans. Assessment includes application portfolio analysis, dependency mapping, data classification, regulatory requirement identification, and total cost of ownership (TCO) modeling comparing on-premises costs to cloud alternatives.

The 7 R's Migration Framework We apply the industry-standard 7 R's framework adapted for Australian requirements:

• Rehost (Lift-and-shift): Migrate applications to cloud infrastructure with minimal changes, ideal for legacy applications requiring rapid migration with data sovereignty guarantees
• Replatform (Lift-tinker-shift): Make targeted optimizations during migration, such as moving databases to managed RDS or SQL Database services while maintaining application code
• Repurchase (Drop-and-shop): Replace existing applications with SaaS alternatives, common for CRM, HR, and collaboration tools with Australian data residency options
• Refactor/Re-architect: Redesign applications to be cloud-native, leveraging serverless, containers, and managed services for optimal cloud benefits
• Retire: Decommission applications no longer needed, reducing migration scope and ongoing costs
• Retain: Keep certain applications on-premises temporarily or permanently due to regulatory, technical, or business constraints
• Relocate: Move applications between cloud providers or regions, increasingly relevant as businesses optimize multi-cloud strategies

Data Migration and Sovereignty Data migration requires careful handling, particularly for large datasets and sensitive information. We employ multiple strategies including AWS DataSync, Azure Data Box, Google Transfer Service for bulk data movement, database migration services for minimal downtime database transitions, and network-optimized transfers for ongoing synchronization. All data migration maintains Australian data residency with encrypted transfer and comprehensive audit trails.

Zero-Downtime Migration Approaches Business-critical applications require migration strategies that eliminate or minimize downtime. We implement blue-green deployments, rolling migrations, and database replication strategies that enable seamless cutover with immediate rollback capability. Testing and validation in non-production environments ensures production migrations execute flawlessly.
