Australia cyber security, live
The current Australian picture in one place: ACSC alerts and advisories from cyber.gov.au as they publish, what the Australian security press is covering right now, and how the Essential Eight maturity model maps onto a real Microsoft 365 tenant. Data refreshes twice a day from the primary sources.
In Australia and New Zealand, start with Crayon/SoftwareOne
Senserva is proud to partner with Crayon/SoftwareOne, among the most trusted names in Microsoft licensing and cloud solutions across Australia and the wider ANZ region. With deep Microsoft expertise and a strong local presence, they bring the reach, guidance, and customer relationships that help organizations get real value from their Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and Defender investments.
Paired with Senserva's security and compliance posture management, that partnership gives ANZ customers a clear path to find the risks in their environment, fix them, and prove their compliance. From MSPs managing dozens of tenants to a single organization tightening its security baseline, it means local, knowledgeable support backed by a platform built to make Microsoft security measurable.

How it works in Australia and New Zealand
Three steps, and the first one is a conversation with people in your time zone.
Talk to Crayon/SoftwareOne
They know Microsoft licensing and they know the local market. They size what you need, handle procurement the way your finance team already buys, and stay with you after the paperwork. Send them your details.
Run the audit on your own tenants
Setup takes minutes and the first scan reads your real environment: complete patch state, all 672 checks across 28 security domains, every tenant you manage. Results land in a database you hold. Start with three free audits.
Fix, then prove it
Findings arrive ranked by what is actually being exploited, not by raw score. Fix in your own consoles, then scan again and keep the evidence for the auditor. See the framework mappings.
One model across everything you already run
Most teams have a tool for configuration, another for patching, another for vulnerabilities, and logs somewhere else. Nothing tells you which of those things is the same risk. Senserva reads all of it into one model, ranks it together, and gives you the evidence at the end. Every box below goes to the detail.
Entra ID and Conditional Access
Standing Global Admins, accounts without multi-factor authentication, gaps and overlaps across every Conditional Access policy, risky sign-ins, guests nobody owns. The Conditional Access checks and privileged access checks.
Intune and the devices
Compliance policy that does not match reality, configuration profiles that conflict, and the machines your console cannot see at all: unenrolled devices and silent patch failures. The Intune configuration checks.
Defender, Purview, and Azure
Defender coverage against the devices that exist, Purview labelling and data governance, and Azure roles handed out and forgotten. All of it in the same ranking as everything else. Devices and compliance checks.
Patching, ranked by what is being used
We track 967 Microsoft updates right now, 287 of them fixing flaws on CISA's exploited list. You see which of your machines are missing them and in what order to care. The patch tracker, free and open.
Vulnerabilities, with the exploited ones first
More than 12,000 CVE reference pages, 1,273 entries from CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and exploit probability from FIRST EPSS. CVE and vulnerability management.
Ask it in plain language
Our Claude MCP turns the results into an agentic analyst: run the checks, reason over your own database, and get remediation you approve before it applies. See the Claude MCP.
It sits beside what you have rather than replacing it. Keep deploying patches with Intune or your RMM: Senserva tells you what is missing and what matters, it does not take over the deployment. Already running Maester or ScubaGear? Their results come in as inputs and get ranked with everything else. And when a setting drifts back after you fix it, drift detection catches it rather than waiting for the next audit.
The Essential Eight, evidenced from a Microsoft 365 scan
The ACSC's Essential Eight is the Australian baseline, and most of it is exactly what Siemserva by Senserva measures in Microsoft 365, Intune, Defender, and Entra ID. One audit shows where each mitigation stands, with the evidence attached:
Patch applications and operating systems
Two of the Eight are patching, and the maturity clock starts at exploitation. Our Microsoft patch tracker ranks every update by real attacks (CISA KEV, EPSS), and the audit shows which devices are missing them, including devices missing known-exploited patches.
Multi-factor authentication and admin privileges
Restrict administrative privileges and require MFA: that is the identity half of the audit. Authentication method checks, privileged access and PIM checks, and all 60 Conditional Access checks, ranked by Severity.
Application control, macros, and hardening
The endpoint mitigations are read straight from Intune policy: application control, Office macro settings, and user application hardening checks across the Intune configuration domain, plus Defender coverage in devices and compliance.
For MSPs and resellers across ANZ
If you look after other people's tenants, the hard part is not finding problems in one of them. It is knowing which tenant, out of dozens, deserves your next hour, and being able to show the customer why.
Every tenant in one ranked view
One pass covers all of them, and the ranking is comparable across customers, so triage stops being a guess. How MSPs use it.
Evidence the customer keeps
Each tenant gets its own results database and its own report. It is their data, in a form an auditor accepts. The audit guide.
Priced for many tenants
Unlimited use across your book of business rather than per-scan pricing, at the rate in the box at the top of this page.

Questions we get from ANZ teams
How do we buy Senserva in Australia or New Zealand?
Through Crayon/SoftwareOne, our ANZ partner, who handle Microsoft licensing and procurement locally. Send your details in the form at the top of this page and they will make contact. You can also start the three free audits yourself first and involve them once you have seen your own results.
Does it map to the Essential Eight?
The checks evidence most of the Eight directly from a Microsoft 365 tenant: patching applications and operating systems, multi-factor authentication, restricting administrative privileges, application control, Office macro settings, and user application hardening. You get the current state per mitigation with the evidence attached, which is what an assessor asks for. It is measurement against the model, not a certification of maturity level.
Where does our data go?
Into a results database you hold. The audit reads your tenant and writes the findings locally, and Senserva does not keep a copy of your tenant data. That is also what makes the Claude MCP safe to use: the model reasons over your own database.
Do we have to replace Intune, Defender, or our RMM?
No. Senserva reads those systems and ranks what it finds. Deployment stays where it is today, in Intune or your RMM. Maester and ScubaGear results come in as inputs rather than being replaced.
How current is the data on this page?
The advisories come from the ACSC feed and the security press as they publish, and the patch, CVE, and exploited-vulnerability data behind the rankings refreshes through the day, every day.
What does the free audit actually include?
Everything the product does: complete patch state, all 672 checks across 28 domains, every user, every setting, every tenant, and the full reports, plus our extensive Claude MCP. Registration is the only requirement, and there is no card. The three runs are meant to be used as one scan to find and two to review your fixes.
