AI that earns its place in your business.
Vendor-neutral on AI. Built on nine years of Australian managed-security.

We choose the right AI for your business and build it within Microsoft 365. No vendor commissions or lock-in — on AI provider or cost.

We help businesses build AI that pays for itself in months — with the engineering discipline of a fixed-price, security-first MSP. You see the deliverable and the price before you commit.

Live in client production today. Real Australian businesses — not slideware.
Website build accelerated by AI — that's the point. We help clients accelerate their work the same way.

Four engagements. Real Australian businesses.

The numbers and findings below are exactly what these engagements produced — unedited. All anonymised at our discretion. This is what AI done properly looks like in practice.

111%
profitability uplift for Australian SMBs that move from dabbling with AI to running it as a managed capability — strategy, training, and clean data in place. Only 5% of SMBs are there today. The gap isn't the tech. It's the stewardship.

Evisent build · what we've seen
We can't promise the 111% — that's a sector projection, not a guarantee. But here's what we've actually seen: Neoscape moved from "dabbling" to "managed capability" in one Build — a build that's live and rolling out, projected to free up ~$360K of senior PM time a year at full rollout. That's why every Build comes with 6 months of mandatory support — and why most clients keep it running well past that.
Standard with every Managed AI engagement

Your AI program. One dashboard. Daily ROI by default.

When you put an automation under our care, it stops being a black box. Cost, hours saved, ROI, who's using what, the residual-risk register — all in your own intranet, refreshed daily, no spreadsheets required. Built for the question your board will ask: is this AI investment paying off?

Absolute transparency

Every dollar spent tracked against the real hours reclaimed — no black box.

Built-in governance

Live monitoring for shadow AI, data residency and model drift.

Board-ready reporting

Export compliance evidence for frameworks like Essential Eight and APRA CPS 230.

How it works

Audit. Build. Secure.

A clear path from "we think AI could help here" to a working, governed system inside your own tenant.

01
Audit

We find where AI actually pays back.

We map your workflows, data and existing Microsoft 365 / Azure setup, then pick the one or two processes where AI returns the most — fast.

02
Build

Fixed scope, fixed price, in your tenant.

We build inside your own environment with written acceptance tests. You see the deliverable working — and the price — before you commit.

03
Secure & operate

Governed, and kept defensible.

Architected against a vendor-neutral checklist with Microsoft Purview controls. Your data stays yours — never used to train public models. Optional managed operations keep it sound as models and vendors change.

How we work

Two departments. One operating principle.

AI & Automation is its own team, sold separately. Managed IT & Security is its own team, sold separately. One company, one principle running through both. Either can stand alone — and most clients eventually grow into both.

02 — DEPARTMENT

Managed IT & Security

The full IT & cyber stack — helpdesk, Microsoft 365, Essential Eight, backup, QBRs. Quietly run since 2017. The reason our AI claim is credible, and the natural home for AI clients who outgrow their existing M365 setup. Sold separately.

Problems we solve · capabilities behind them

Nine problems your AI rollout will hit. Here's how we handle them.

Most "AI consultants" are pure resellers — they know how to log into a vendor's console. We're practitioners with nine years of operational depth. When the vendor's documentation runs out, this is what's left.

AI & AUTOMATION

Stop your AI drifting in production.

AI Engineering. Claude API integrations, Copilot Studio agents, GPT-via-Azure deployments. Prompt engineering, evals, voice contracts.

AI & AUTOMATION

Turn an LLM call into a business process.

Automation Engineering. Power Automate flows, Azure-powered integrations, custom builds — the orchestration layer behind the AI.

AI & AUTOMATION

Defensible to a board, an auditor, a regulator.

AI Governance. Acceptable Use Policy drafting, ISO 42001 alignment, AU Voluntary AI Safety Standard, Purview-based controls.

SECURITY

Make the AI build hard to break.

Cybersecurity. Essential Eight ML1 baseline, ML2+ where required. Defender XDR, Sentinel SIEM, MDR. ISO 27001 audit in progress.

SECURITY

Be ready when something breaks at 4 AM.

Incident Response. Account compromise, ransomware, data exfiltration, supply-chain attacks. Documented IR plans, written runbooks, after-hours response.

SECURITY

Hold up under insurer scrutiny.

Forensics. Post-incident evidence preservation, root-cause, attacker dwell-time reconstruction, insurer-grade reporting. We work alongside specialist IR partners when scope demands.

COMPLIANCE

Keep up with rules that change every quarter.

Regulation. Privacy Act ADM transparency, APRA CPS 230, ASIC cyber resilience, TPB, Law Society obligations, EU AI Act extraterritorial reach. We track them so you don't.

COMPLIANCE

Build on Microsoft plumbing that's actually fit for AI.

Microsoft 365 Engineering. Tenant architecture, Entra identity, conditional access, Purview labelling, Intune endpoint management.

COMPLIANCE

Make sure the tactics serve the business.

QBR & Strategy. Roadmap, budget, board reporting, technology strategy. The advisory layer that keeps the work pointed at outcomes.

Where to next

Pick the path that matches where you are.

Two journeys through this site. Same team behind both.

If you're regulated, this matters

In a regulated industry? Your AI obligations aren't generic.

We've built a page for each regulated sector we work in — covering the specific rules that apply to your licence, not a generic compliance overview. APRA CPS 230 for insurance brokers. ASIC REP 798 for financial advisors. TPB for accountants. EU AI Act for manufacturers. Privacy Act for everyone. Find your sector below — the page is built for the regulator that watches your business. Note: the AI & Automation work itself is industry-flexible — every business gets the same SKUs regardless of vertical. It's the governance overlay that changes.

LEGAL ALSO SUPPORTED — SEE INDUSTRIES PAGE

Why the AI claim is credible

We've been doing the boring security work since 2017.

The reason you can trust us with AI Governance is that we're already running the controls underneath it — identity, M365 permissions, DLP, Essential Eight. AI Governance is the next layer, not a different business.

  • ESSENTIAL EIGHT The Australian Government's cybersecurity standard — ML1 baseline across the client base; ML2+ where regulators require it
  • ISO 27001 Certification audit in progress · anticipated H2 2026, subject to audit completion
  • ISO 42001 AI Management System certification to follow ISO 27001
  • AU VOLUNTARY AI 10 guardrails from the DISR Safety Standard built into delivery
  • PRIVACY ACT ADM transparency obligations covered ahead of the scheduled commencement (10 Dec 2026, subject to legislation)
  • APRA CPS 230 Material AI supplier checks for regulated client supply chains

How we use AI · Our principles

We use AI the way we'd want our clients to use it. As an accelerator — not a replacement for the expert.

01 · Built with AI

It accelerates the work we already do.

This site, our audits, proposals, reports and internal tooling are AI-accelerated. It's how a small Australian MSP ships at the speed we do — and a working demonstration of what we help clients adopt.

02 · Verified by humans

Every output is signed off by the expert.

Every client-facing report, proposal, finding or email is reviewed by the subject-matter expert whose name is on it. The facts, numbers and recommendations you see came from real engagements — not from a model.

03 · No bots in the conversation

You'll always reach a real person.

Chat, phone, email, incident response — when you contact Evisent, you reach a human. We don't put AI between us and the people who trust us with their business.

The 2-week first step

Find out what AI is already happening
in your business. Then decide what's next.

The AI Readiness Sprint is two weeks, from $4,950 + GST. You walk away with a one-page board summary, an acceptable-use policy draft, and a clear picture of your shadow-AI exposure. You don't need to be an MSP client to engage us.
