Data. From governance to AI-ready builds.

Data consulting, from governance to AI-ready platforms.

You want data you can trust and data you can build on, not one at the expense of the other. Lumaris takes you from privacy, classification and oversight through to AI-ready platforms and the engineering that runs them, principal-led. Security and the rules are designed in, so the foundation is sound and the build is fast.

The data moment

Why does every AI project start with a data problem?

Every AI initiative, analytics investment and new rule depends on the same thing: data that is trusted, connected, well-overseen and understood. Most organisations don't have it yet, and most are only now seeing how much it matters.

Lumaris brings strategy, engineering and security together on data, principal-led, with privacy, oversight and AI-readiness designed in from the start. The same foundation carries analytics today and AI tomorrow, from governance through to the platforms you build on it.

The data portfolio

Four capabilities. One integrated data practice.

Each capability stands alone. Together they take you from scattered data today to well-overseen, AI-ready foundations you can build on, with privacy and security throughout.

— 01

Strategy & Advisory

A practical, fundable data plan. Roadmaps and operating models, technology and platform advice, and data readiness scoring, from first principles to what to build next.

— 02

Security & Compliance

Trust you can evidence. Privacy and breach response, classification and access, advice on the rules, and audit-ready evidence, so governance never becomes the thing that slows the build.

— 03

Systems Integration

The build end. Data platforms and architecture, clean data flows, classification and lineage in the pipeline, and AI-ready foundations, grounded in Foundation Data Engineering and cloud platform delivery.

— 04

Operations & Enablement

Data that keeps flowing. Delivery, change, cost management, monitoring, data-flow management, and quality across the estate.

The rules we work to

Which data rules apply to us in Australia?

We work to the major Australian and international data rules. The Privacy Act covers personal information, the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme covers reporting, and the Consumer Data Right covers portability. State privacy laws apply across NSW, Victoria and Queensland, and European rules apply for cross-border work. Financial services and critical infrastructure add their own on top. As the government stands up its central Office of AI and new Australian AI Standards, the bar for how data feeds AI is rising too. We work to all of them, so you build on data you can defend.
Outcomes, not deliverables

What do you actually get at the end?

Every engagement closes with artefacts your team can build on and your board can read on its own.

  • Data inventory and classification with owners and risk-tiering
  • Data oversight framework (roles, decision rights, change control)
  • Data quality scorecard with targets and owners
  • Traceability and lineage map across critical flows
  • Reference architecture and data-flow patterns for AI-ready data
  • A working, AI-ready data platform or reference implementation (cloud or Palantir Foundry)
  • Privacy and consumer-data readiness benchmark with fix-list
  • 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 to 6 week review.

A data readiness or privacy review, a platform or architecture review, or an oversight scope. 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 to 16 week implementation.

Getting data built and governed: a data platform build, data foundations for AI, an oversight stand-up, or a privacy uplift.

  • Best when the answer is clear and the work is to make it real
  • Reference architecture and runbooks
  • Oversight, traceability, and quality controls
  • Hand-over with continued support
— 03Start with advice

A principal advisor on retainer.

A senior hand for leaders working through data strategy, platform and vendor selection, delivery calls, and the rules.

  • Best when you need a trusted hand over time
  • Board-ready risk briefings
  • Independent vendor and platform reviews
  • Data lead, fractional
