New Partnership Announcement - ASD Network Partner
Press Release:
SecureNative Recognised as an Australian Signals Directorate Cybersecurity Business Partner, Strengthening National Cyber Resilience
Melbourne, Australia – 20/10/2025 – SecureNative is proud to announce its recognition as an Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) Cybersecurity Business Partner, reinforcing its commitment to helping Australian organisations protect their digital assets and AI environments through industry-leading cybersecurity practices.
This partnership underscores SecureNative’s dedication to advancing Australia’s cyber maturity through the implementation of the ACSC Essential Eight, Zero Trust principles, and alignment to the Modern Defensible Architecture (MDA) — the government’s framework for building resilient, adaptive, and defensible digital ecosystems.
As a trusted Australian cybersecurity provider specialising in Microsoft security, compliance, and AI governance, SecureNative is uniquely positioned to help organisations of all sizes adopt a secure-by-design approach to digital transformation. The company’s “Trusted Pathway” framework enables clients to assess their security posture, prioritise risks, and implement controls mapped directly to ASD and Microsoft guidance — from identity protection and data classification to AI assurance and continuous monitoring.
“Becoming an ASD Cybersecurity Business Partner represents an important milestone for SecureNative,” said Sean Roberts, Co-founder and Director. “Our mission has always been to simplify and secure the AI journey for customers. This recognition validates our capability to align Australian organisations to the Essential Eight and Modern Defensible Architecture, ensuring they can innovate with confidence while maintaining the highest levels of security assurance.”
The Modern Defensible Architecture (MDA) framework, developed in partnership between ASD and Microsoft, defines how government and critical infrastructure can adopt a Zero Trust security model that emphasises identity, device, data, and network controls. SecureNative helps organisations operationalise these principles through Microsoft’s security stack, including Defender XDR, Entra ID, Microsoft Purview, and Sentinel, ensuring full visibility, automation, and resilience across hybrid and AI-enabled environments.
Through its new ASD partnership, SecureNative will continue working with corporate, public sector, enterprise, and partner organisations to:
Accelerate alignment to the Essential Eight across identity, application, and infrastructure layers
Embed Zero Trust principles within cloud, hybrid, and AI ecosystems
Enhance threat detection and response through Microsoft’s integrated security capabilities
Support compliance and assurance through proactive governance and continuous improvement
As cyber risks evolve alongside rapid AI adoption, SecureNative remains focused on bridging the gap between technology innovation and secure operations. Its partnership with the ASD marks a significant step forward in strengthening Australia’s digital defence ecosystem — supporting a secure, sovereign, and resilient future for government, business, and communities alike.
