Compliant, zero-disruption migration to the cloud
Government cloud migration carries obligations commercial migrations don't — data residency requirements, IRAP security assessment, and citizen services that can't go offline mid-migration. Algosoft designs migration architecture using AWS ap-southeast-2 or Azure Australia regions to keep data within Australian borders, with phased cutover plans that keep services running throughout.
We build to anticipate IRAP assessment and the ACSC Essential Eight mitigation strategies from the architecture stage, not as a retrofit before an audit.
This service pairs with our government technology solutions and secure government application development for agencies modernising applications alongside infrastructure.
Hosting architecture that keeps government data within Australian borders.
Migration design that anticipates formal security assessment requirements.
Phased migration plans that keep citizen services running throughout.
