Our story

IT that your business can actually rely on.

AWD has been keeping Australian businesses running since 1997. We started as a small team that believed IT should be dependable, explained in plain English and delivered by people who stick around. Twenty-nine years on, that has not changed.

Almost every engineer is onshore and in-house, so the person who picks up knows your setup. That is a commercial decision as much as a cultural one. An engineer who has seen your environment before resolves a problem faster than one reading a script, and the difference compounds over a decade of tickets.

Security sits at the centre of how we work, which is why our services are ISO 27001 certified and why we treat your data with the same care we would our own. That is the whole idea: managed IT you do not have to think about.

How we work

What we stand for.

Three principles that shape every engagement, from the first audit to the quarterly review.

Security first

Information and data security is our number one priority. Every decision starts with the risk, not the shortcut, and it is why we hold ISO 27001.

Straight talk

Plain English, no jargon walls, no scare tactics. We explain the risk, the option and the cost so you can make a decision with your eyes open.

Why we hold it ourselves.

We ask clients to take security seriously, so it would be a strange position to take if we did not. Holding ISO/IEC 27001:2022 means an accredited certification body audits our controls, our evidence and our management system, not just our intentions. It also means that when we walk a client through certification, we are describing a process we have been through rather than one we have read about.

One thing worth checking with any supplier: the transition deadline from ISO 27001:2013 to the 2022 edition passed on 31 October 2025, so certificates citing the 2013 edition have expired or been withdrawn.
