Last week our team had the opportunity to attend the Pax8 Mission Briefing in Sydney.

These events are a great reminder of how quickly the industry is evolving, and some valuable insights on cybersecurity, AI solutions and the future of managed intelligence.

A key theme for us was clear: AI success starts with strong data governance and compliance. As organisations continue exploring Microsoft Copilot and AI more broadly, governance and secure workspace management are essential foundations for sustainable AI adoption.

This week we attended the Australian Institute of Company Directors Tech Governance Forum 2026, and it sparked some great conversations around leadership in times of uncertainty.

From AI adoption to cyber risk, it’s clear that strong, exec and board‑led decision‑making, and disciplined governance are more important than ever.

Hearing directly from experienced industry leaders reinforced why bringing AI and emerging technologies into executive discussions is critical and why helping our clients build practical, best‑practice data governance remains a core focus for OPC.

Last week, our CEO Clinton Henderson and Operations Manager Peter Booker-Shobbrook attended the 2026 Pipeline Channel Conference on Hamilton Island, connecting with industry peers and gaining valuable insight into where technology is headed.

With strong takeaways around AI, automation, and the evolving channel landscape, it was a great opportunity to learn from others and reflect on how these trends will shape the way we continue to deliver for our clients.

Today we officially launched the Fyshwick StreetBeat AED, proudly sponsored by OPC and now publicly accessible at 26 Ipswich Street, Fyshwick ACT 2609.

Available 24/7, this AED ensures life‑saving equipment is close by when it’s needed most. Sudden cardiac arrest remains a leading cause of death in Australia, and timely access to an AED can make the difference between life and death.

While many AEDs are located inside workplaces, cardiac arrests often occur outside business hours, when access is limited. By making AEDs available around the clock, StreetBeat is helping to bridge this gap and improve outcomes in our community.

We’re proud to support this important initiative and thank GoodLoop Mutual and Community Bank Canberra and Regions for their support in helping make this possible.

"What data do we hold, and how is it being protected?"

As privacy and data protection legislation tightens, many organisations still struggle to confidently answer this question.

From personally identifiable information to images associated with childcare, aged care and vulnerable people, organisations manage sensitive data that requires strong governance and clear accountability. Data security is no longer optional.

At OPC, our focus is to help organisations protect their data. We work with our clients to understand how data is captured, what information should (and shouldn’t) be retained, who has access, how it’s secured, and how long it needs to be kept to meet legislative requirements.

This work is led by Dan Norton, Head of Governance & Privacy at OPC. With many years of experience leading SharePoint and data‑centric projects, Dan brings a deep understanding of both technology and governance, making him ideally placed to lead this capability.

How confident are you in the way your organisation governs its sensitive data today?
