Enterprise Cloud, AI &
Cybersecurity
Consulting
CPI Consulting helps Australian organisations secure their infrastructure, modernise their IT, and adopt AI — with the architecture-level expertise that comes from 20+ years in enterprise technology and 5 published books.
Built for Enterprise. Sized for Agility.
CPI Consulting Pty Ltd, trading as CloudPro Inc, is a specialist IT consultancy based in Melbourne, Australia. We work with mid-size and enterprise organisations nationally and internationally, delivering hands-on consulting across cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, endpoint management, and AI.
We’re not a large firm with layers of account managers between you and the person doing the work. When you engage CPI, you get direct access to a senior architect who designs the solution, implements it, and stands behind it.
Our clients include government agencies, financial services, healthcare, and mid-market businesses — organisations where security, compliance, and reliability aren’t optional.
We hold an active NV-1 security clearance and operate as a Microsoft Partner and Wiz Security Integrator.

Led by a Published Author & Enterprise Architect
Our principal consultant brings over 20 years of enterprise IT experience spanning Solution Architecture, Enterprise Architecture, cybersecurity, and cloud infrastructure. He has worked with some of Australia’s largest organisations across government, financial services, and enterprise — designing, securing, and implementing the systems that businesses rely on every day.
He is the author of 5 published technical books covering Azure, containers, Kubernetes, and AI — including Getting Started with Azure OpenAI. His work has been used by thousands of engineers and architects worldwide as a reference for building enterprise cloud solutions.
He holds an NV-1 security clearance and maintains over 20 vendor certifications across Microsoft, Cisco, and VMware. He is equally comfortable presenting to a board as he is configuring Intune policies or writing PowerShell automation.
His approach is direct, practical, and grounded in real-world delivery — not theory. Every engagement is hands-on, architecture-led, and focused on outcomes that survive governance, security review, and operational reality.
Our Core Services
We specialise in the technologies that Australian businesses depend on most — and we deliver at the architecture level, not the help desk level.
Microsoft Intune
Full endpoint management across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Autopilot, compliance policies, conditional access, and Defender integration.
Essential Eight Compliance
Maturity assessments, gap analysis, and hands-on remediation aligned to ACSC guidelines — using the Microsoft tools you already own.
Azure & Microsoft 365
Cloud architecture, security hardening, licensing optimisation, identity governance, and migration for Azure and Microsoft 365 environments.
AI Consulting
Enterprise AI strategy, OpenAI and Claude integration, AI security governance, and practical adoption roadmaps for business leaders.
Automation
Infrastructure automation with PowerShell, .NET, and Azure services. We eliminate manual processes and build repeatable, scalable operations.
Security Architecture
Defender for Endpoint, Wiz cloud security, Entra ID, conditional access, DLP, and end-to-end security posture design and implementation.
Our Principles
Every engagement follows the same core principles — regardless of size, scope, or industry.
Architecture First
We design before we build. Every engagement starts with understanding your environment, constraints, and business goals — not jumping to implementation.
Hands-On Delivery
We don’t hand you a PDF and walk away. We implement, configure, test, and validate. The same person who designs the solution builds it.
Security by Default
Security isn’t an afterthought or an add-on. It’s embedded in every decision — identity, access, data protection, monitoring, and compliance.
Plain Language
We translate complex technology into clear decisions. Whether you’re a CIO or a business owner, you’ll understand what we’re recommending and why.
Documentation & Handover
Every engagement includes operational documentation and knowledge transfer. Your team inherits a system they can run, not a black box they can’t maintain.
Australian Context
We understand Australian compliance requirements — Essential Eight, ACSC guidelines, privacy obligations, and the realities of operating in regulated Australian industries.
Our Clients
We work with organisations that take their IT seriously — where security, compliance, and operational reliability are business-critical.
Government
Federal and state agencies requiring NV-1 cleared consultants
Financial Services
Banks, insurers, and financial institutions with strict compliance
Healthcare
Health providers with sensitive data and regulatory obligations
Enterprise
Mid-to-large organisations with 50–5,000+ employees
