What EY can do for you

The EY team can help businesses transform their operations to realise the value of the cloud while meeting strict security requirements.

In the Classified Cloud, we store, process and manage all data, applications and hardware in Australia. Our strong security ensures data is protected at all times, while advanced attack detection, proactive remediation and incident response guards against cyber threats. In the Fortified Cloud (for Azure) we add the management and security layers to ensure that customers get all the benefits of the public cloud whilst relying on proven people and processes to keep their environments safe and optimised.

Located in data centres in Canberra and Melbourne, the service is supported by a strong, proven security posture and dedicated Government accredited staff to ensure that data is protected at all times.
