Cloud. Designed to scale. Built to hold.

Cloud services

Design, provision, migrate, and optimise cloud environments with confidence. Built on secure foundations, with cost control as a design constraint, and skill across AWS, Azure, and Google.

The cloud moment

The easy cloud wins are gone. The hard ones remain.

Most organisations are a decade into cloud adoption. The workloads that move easily have already moved. What's left is the difficult half: legacy systems with hard dependencies, Australian and overseas rules to meet, runaway cost and identity sprawl, and AI workloads that demand secure foundations nobody fully planned for. The next wave of cloud value sits behind harder problems.

Lumaris designs cloud on secure foundations from day one. Identity, network, safeguards, and cost control are treated as design choices, not clean-up items. And work moves across cloud providers so your team isn't locked into accidental choices.

Lifting and shifting got you onto cloud. Designing the foundation right is what makes cloud pay back.
The cloud portfolio

Four capabilities. One integrated cloud practice.

Each capability stands alone. Together they take an organisation from first cloud experiment to optimised, secure cloud operation, with secure foundations and security as the spine.

— 01

Strategy & Advisory

Strategy, operating plans, policy frameworks, standards, and technology advice. Tuned to the major cloud providers and the rules you have to meet.

— 02

Security & Compliance

Cloud risk understood, managed, and evidenced. Risk assessment, advice on the rules, privacy, threat modelling, and audit-ready documentation.

— 03

Systems Integration

Secure foundations, hybrid integration, cloud-native security, identity, and secure AI agent hosting, designed to operate as one.

— 04

Operations & Enablement

Cloud as a sustained capability. Project delivery, change management, cost management, monitoring, knowledge, and quality across the program.

The rules we work to

The cloud rules we work to.

We work to the major Australian and international cloud rules. The Australian government has a hosting framework (ASD HCF) and assessment scheme (IRAP). The Essential Eight is the cyber baseline. ISO 27001 is the international cyber standard. The Privacy Act covers personal data. CIS baselines apply per cloud provider. Financial services and critical infrastructure add their own rules on top. See the glossary for what each one covers and when it bites.
Outcomes, not deliverables

Outcomes you can take to a board.

Every engagement closes with artefacts a board or auditor can read on its own.

  • Cloud security readiness benchmark against the relevant Australian and international rules
  • Secure foundation reference architecture: accounts, identity, network, and policy from day one
  • Migration plan with risk register, control mappings, and exit criteria
  • Cost-management baseline with cost-attribution model and prioritised savings backlog
  • Hybrid and Australian-aware architecture pattern aligned to the major hosting and assessment schemes where in scope
  • Identity model for human, service, and workload principals
  • Audit-ready evidence pack across the major Australian cyber and hosting schemes
  • Board-ready closing brief and 90-day roadmap
Three ways to engage

Three ways to engage. Sized to where you are today.

— 01Start with a question

A focused 4–6 week review

Cloud readiness, security review, or hybrid scoping. Fixed scope, price, end date.

  • Best when you know something needs to happen but aren't yet certain what
  • Board-ready closing brief
  • Prioritised fix-list and roadmap
  • Defined scope, fixed fee
— 02Start with a programme

A defined 8–16 week implementation

Secure cloud foundation delivery. Hybrid architecture. Cost-control uplift. Security fixes.

  • Best when the answer is clear and the work is to make it real
  • Reference architecture and runbooks
  • Identity, network, and policy baseline
  • Hand-over with continued support
— 03Start with advice

A principal advisor on retainer

Senior counsel for boards and executives working through cloud provider decisions, migration milestones, and steady-state operations. Monthly, quarterly, or to your cadence.

  • Best when you need a trusted hand over time
  • Independent platform and vendor reviews
  • Migration check-ins and architecture review
  • Cloud security lead, fractional
