The recognition
Origin Digital has been named Indigenous Cyber Business of the Year at the Australian Cyber Awards 2026. We were a finalist in the same category the year before.
It is a milestone we are proud of, and one we treat as a marker of the standard we hold ourselves to rather than a finish line.
What it reflects
The award recognises the way we run cyber security: senior-led, accountable, and built on the ASD Essential Eight.
It reflects a practice where experienced engineers own the outcome, with Australian data residency as the default and no juniors padding hours behind the scenes.
The standard, not the trophy
We see recognition like this as confirmation of an approach, not a reason to change it. The work that earned it is the same work we do for every client.
Part of the Origin Mob
Origin Digital is proudly Indigenous-owned and Supply Nation certified. We are part of the Origin Mob, a group of certified Indigenous businesses spanning professional services for industry and government.
We share this recognition with that wider community, and with the clients who trusted us to protect the systems they depend on.
What it means for clients
For the organisations we work with, nothing about how we operate changes. The same senior team continues to deliver the same security practice.
If you are weighing up your cyber posture, it is a fair signal of the capability you can expect when you talk to us.
