Your Compliance Data Foundation

A secure, Australian-hosted home for all your compliance data. Organised, kept for the right length of time, and always accessible when you need to report or respond to a regulator.

A solid base for all your compliance data, built to last and built to be inspected.

Your compliance data foundation is the secure base underneath everything else: your dashboards, your automated workflows, and your AI tools. Applysmarts builds this foundation with your data stored in Australia, strict rules about who can access what, clear records of where data has come from, and documentation your regulator can read. Any question from a regulator can be answered clearly and quickly.

We build inside Microsoft, Google Cloud, and AWS Australian environments, as well as custom setups. What we recommend depends on your regulatory obligations and existing systems, not on which platform we prefer.

Data Residency

Your data stays in Australia, by design, not just by policy

Everything we build keeps your data within Australia: how it’s stored, how it moves, and how it’s processed, meeting APRA, NDIS, and other regulatory requirements.

  • All processing and storage in Australian data centres
  • Documentation for regulators confirming your data hasn’t left Australia
  • No data sent offshore without explicit controls in place
  • Architecture designed to meet APRA CPS 234 requirements
Governance

Built for audit from day one

Access controls, data retention rules, record-keeping, and audit trails are built in from the start, not added in a rush before a regulator asks for them.

  • Role-based access controls across all data
  • Automated retention rules by data type and regulatory obligation
  • A full trail from the original data source through to your compliance reports
  • A permanent record of every access and change that can’t be altered
