Cybersecurity · Essential Eight

Facing a security deadline? That's usually how it starts.

Most of our clients don't call about AI first. They call because something with a date attached just landed on their desk. Sound familiar?

📄

The insurance renewal shock

Your cyber premium doubled — or renewal now depends on controls you can't evidence. We get you to a maturity level your insurer accepts, with the paperwork to prove it.

📋

The tender questionnaire

An enterprise customer or government buyer wants Essential Eight answers before they'll shortlist you. We've seen businesses lose tenders on this alone. It's fixable — fast.

🔗

The supply-chain audit

Your biggest customer is pushing security requirements down their supply chain. Meet them once with an audited evidence pack — then keep it current without thinking about it.

Essential Eight Uplift — Maturity Level 1 or 2, in 6–10 weeks

Fixed price, quoted upfront. Delivered with an audited evidence pack your insurer, auditor and enterprise customers accept. Then our Security Assurance subscription keeps your evidence current month after month — compliance as an operation, not an annual panic.

Who we serve

Two industries. Deep, not wide.

We don't consult to everyone. We work where our experience compounds — so you get advice from people who speak your industry's language, benchmarked against businesses like yours.

🛒

Retail & Wholesale Distribution

Demand forecasting, stock-out reduction, margin visibility, quote automation, and ERP that keeps pace with multi-channel growth. For merchants and distributors from 30 to 300 staff who know their spreadsheets are costing them money.

🏭

Manufacturing & Logistics

Production and QA paperwork automation, supply-chain visibility, compliance evidence for enterprise customers, and the security maturity your tenders now demand. For operators who win on reliability and can't afford IT surprises.

How we work

Land. Expand. Run.

Small first step, visible results, and a partner who's still accountable long after go-live.

1

Land — Readiness Assessment (3 weeks)

A paid, fixed-price diagnostic across your AI, data, security and process maturity. You get a scored report, a 12-month roadmap, three costed quick wins — and a benchmark against industry peers. The fee is fully credited against any implementation within 90 days.

2

Expand — Fixed-price packages

Implementation drawn from your roadmap: security uplift, automation, dashboards, Copilot or ERP modernisation. Every package has a defined outcome, a fixed duration and a fixed price. If we misjudge the effort, that's our cost — not yours.

3

Run — Managed AI, security assurance & vCIO

We operate what we build: agents monitored, models maintained, security evidence kept current, and a quarterly board-ready review of what your technology returned. Your AI, run like your payroll — reliably, by professionals.

What we sell

Products, not proposals.

Named packages with defined outcomes and fixed prices — because you shouldn't need a 40-page proposal to know what you're buying.

Managed AI & security services

Agents & analytics run for you

Your agents, Copilot deployment and dashboards monitored, maintained and improved — with a human accountable when something needs attention.

The Exentia Index

How does your business compare?

Every Exentia engagement feeds an anonymised benchmark of AI, data and security maturity across Australian mid-market retail, wholesale, manufacturing and logistics businesses. Join the mailing list for the quarterly State of AI in the Australian Mid-Market report.

About Exentia

Enterprise-grade thinking. Mid-market scale.

Exentia was founded on a simple observation: Australian mid-sized businesses face enterprise-grade technology pressure — AI, cybersecurity, ageing ERP — without enterprise-grade support. The big firms can't serve you profitably. Your IT provider sells tickets, not transformation. Nobody owns your outcome.

We built Exentia to be that partner: senior people, fixed prices, your industry — and a subscription model that keeps us accountable long after go-live.
