    Frequently Asked Questions

    Government & Defence AI Questions

    Common questions from federal agencies, defence contractors, and government suppliers about our AI consulting services.

    Do you have experience with government procurement processes?

    Yes, we understand Commonwealth Procurement Rules and can work through various procurement methods including panel arrangements, open tenders, and limited tenders. We're experienced in providing the documentation required for government contracts including security requirements, insurance certificates, and compliance statements.

    Can your AI solutions meet IRAP assessment requirements?

    Our on-premise AI infrastructure can be deployed in IRAP-assessed hosting environments and configured to meet ISM controls. We design solutions with the Essential Eight in mind and can work with IRAP assessors to ensure compliance for PROTECTED-level workloads.

    Do you support air-gapped or classified environments?

    Yes. Our Private AI Infrastructure offering includes fully offline deployment options for air-gapped environments. We use locally-hosted language models that operate without internet connectivity, ensuring sensitive data never leaves your secure network.

    How do you handle data sovereignty for government projects?

    All data processing occurs within Australian borders using Australian-owned infrastructure. We don't use US cloud providers for government workloads and can deploy on-premise within your existing PROTECTED or higher-classified environment.

    Can you work with defence contractors and prime contractors?

    Yes. We've delivered enterprise solutions for major Australian resources companies and understand the rigorous requirements of the defence supply chain. Our founder has 18+ years of enterprise experience including work with BHP and Rio Tinto systems.

    What certifications and clearances does Solve8 hold?

    Solve8 is a 100% Australian-owned company (ABN 84 615 983 732). We maintain appropriate insurance for government contracts and can work within frameworks requiring specific security clearances. Contact us to discuss specific clearance requirements for your project.
