Infotrust unifies cyber security & IT services nationwide
Spirit Technologies and Infotrust have joined forces under the single national brand Infotrust to offer scaled technology and cyber security services across Australia.
The unified entity now supports more than 1,000 organisations nationwide, leveraging the expertise of over 250 cyber and technology professionals and providing continuous monitoring through a Security Operations Centre (SOC) that operates around the clock in Australia.
Infotrust will continue to serve a variety of sectors including government, financial services, healthcare, education, and providers of critical infrastructure. Its offering is designed to bolster digital resilience, ensure data protection, and facilitate IT transformation for Australian organisations.
Sector response
The consolidation of Spirit Technologies, a Managed Service Provider, with Infotrust, a Managed Security Service Provider, is described by the companies as aligning with a broader movement in the Australian technology sector. According to the companies, enterprise and mid-market customers are increasingly seeking partners who can offer both reliability and cyber resilience through comprehensive services rather than piecemeal solutions.
Julian Challingsworth, Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of Spirit Group, stated,
Cyber security remains a key board-level priority, Australian organisations are demanding more than piecemeal solutions, they want strategic partners who can protect their operations while supporting digital innovation. With 250+ experts across cyber security and enterprise IT, and a sovereign SOC monitoring threats in real time, we are providing the scale, skills and technology stack to meet the challenges of today, and tomorrow.
The alignment incorporates global technology partnerships with firms such as Microsoft, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Netskope, Tenable and Immersive Labs, providing clients with certified expertise across platforms including Microsoft Azure, Cisco Secure, CrowdStrike Falcon, Netskope SASE, and Tenable.
Key features
Infotrust emphasises the importance of operating its SOC entirely within Australia. This, the company states, enables real-time threat detection and response as well as compliance with national regulations around data sovereignty and cyber security mandates. The onshore nature of its SOC is also intended to meet regulatory compliance and national interest requirements for customers concerned about where their data is handled.
Other features highlighted by Infotrust include its depth and breadth of services, encompassing end-to-end IT management, cyber security, incident response and digital forensics. These services are designed to be provided through a single entity, enabling customers to streamline their technology partner relationships.
The combined entity claims a national footprint, serving customers in metropolitan, regional and remote locations across the country.
Market context
Infotrust describes its approach as addressing the shift in the Australian technology sector towards fewer but more capable partners for enterprises and mid-market organisations. The expanded capability is expected to support a broader range of strategic needs, from digital transformation to regulatory compliance and threat management.
Challingsworth highlighted the role played by scale in addressing these needs, indicating that the organisation's 250-plus strong team allows it to provide a substantial level of service and knowledge to meet current and forthcoming challenges in IT and cyber security.
Infotrust states that its full suite of services, alongside its local operations and compliance focus, positions it to support organisations managing risk, protecting digital assets, and building resilience against cyber threats across Australia's public and private sectors.
