PROTECTED Microsoft 365


PROTECTED Microsoft 365, Hosted and Managed in Australia


Emantra designs, deploys, and manages Microsoft 365 environments hardened to ASD and ISM requirements for PROTECTED workloads. The service enables secure collaboration while maintaining Australian control over administration, access, and compliance.


This offering is a controlled, assurance-led collaboration platform designed for regulated work, not a licence resell service.


Built for Secure Collaboration

Microsoft 365 is widely used, but default configurations are not suitable for regulated environments. Emantra deploys Microsoft 365 using hardened, repeatable patterns that support secure collaboration without introducing audit or compliance risk.


The service supports organisations that need to share information, collaborate across teams, and deliver programs while meeting Government security expectations.

What We Deliver

Emantra delivers hardened Microsoft 365 and Azure environments, including:


  • Identity and access management
  • Conditional access and privileged access controls
  • Data loss prevention and sensitivity labelling
  • Audit logging and retention
  • Secure federation with partner or agency environments


Where required, collaboration environments integrate directly with Emantra’s sovereign hosting platform.

How Environments Are Hardened

All environments are built using documented configuration patterns aligned to:


  • ASD guidance
  • ISM control requirements
  • Government assurance expectations


Configuration is controlled and maintained to prevent drift as users, projects, and integrations change.

Australian Control and Accountability

Although Microsoft platforms are used, Emantra retains control over how environments are designed, accessed, and administered. Administration is performed in Australia by cleared personnel, with no offshore access or unmanaged support paths.


This ensures accountability for every administrative action and confidence that sensitive information remains under Australian control.

Audit-Ready by Design

Logging, retention, and evidence collection are enabled from the outset. This reduces the effort required to respond to audits, reviews, and compliance activities.


Rather than retrofitting controls later, assurance is embedded into the collaboration platform from day one.

Designed for Long-Term Use

PROTECTED Microsoft 365 environments are designed to remain secure and compliant over time. Access is reviewed, configuration is maintained, and documentation is kept current to support ongoing assurance.


The result is a collaboration platform that supports real delivery without degrading compliance posture.

Want to know more?

PROTECTED Microsoft 365 is delivered as a scoped deployment with optional ongoing management. It is often used as a foundation for broader hosting or managed service engagements.
