StartCloud provides managed IT and cybersecurity services for Western Australian mining and resources companies, including exploration, contracting, and services businesses. Services include Starlink and remote site connectivity, Essential Eight compliance for tier-one supply chain requirements, rugged device procurement, and disaster recovery, delivered from a Perth-based team.
IT Support for Mining & Resources
Mining and resources businesses run where the internet doesn't always reach, and increasingly need to prove their cybersecurity to clients further up the chain. StartCloud provides remote site connectivity, Essential Eight-aligned security, and Perth-based support built for how WA resources companies actually operate.
IT Support for Exploration, Contracting & Resources
Remote Site Connectivity
Starlink and managed internet with failover, keeping exploration camps and remote sites online where the NBN doesn't reach.
Cybersecurity & Essential Eight
ACSC-aligned security to meet the compliance requirements major mining companies now flow down to contractors and suppliers.
Rugged Device Procurement
Laptops, tablets, and field devices sourced and configured for site conditions, not just office use.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Protect tenement data, geological records, and site reporting with tested backups and a real recovery plan.
Managed Security (MSSP)
24/7 monitoring across head office and remote sites, with a Perth-based team who understands WA resources operations.
Microsoft 365 & Azure
Cloud collaboration between office, camp, and field staff, deployed and secured by a certified Microsoft partner.
Why WA Mining & Resources Businesses Choose StartCloud
We Understand Remote WA Operations
From the Pilbara to the Goldfields, we know that connectivity and support can't stop at the edge of the metro area.
Built for Supply Chain Compliance
Tier-one miners increasingly require contractors to demonstrate Essential Eight or equivalent security maturity. We help you meet that bar.
Microsoft Solutions Partner
Certified Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work, managing Microsoft 365 and Azure for resources sector clients.
Right-Sized for Contractors & Juniors
Enterprise-grade IT and security without the enterprise budget, built for exploration companies and mining service contractors.
Security Requirements Are Flowing Down the Supply Chain
Major mining companies are under growing pressure to secure their supply chains, and that pressure is increasingly passed on to contractors, drilling companies, and exploration juniors. It's no longer unusual for a services contract to require evidence of cybersecurity controls before work even starts.
StartCloud helps WA resources businesses get ahead of this. We assess your current security posture against the ACSC Essential Eight framework, close the practical gaps, and give you documentation you can put in front of a client's procurement team with confidence, rather than scrambling when the request lands in your inbox.
