Insights and Updates

Across Australia, the conversation around sovereignty has intensified.

From data protection to supply chains, the message is clear, our national resilience depends on how well we can coordinate capability across government, industry and emerging technology.

At CAN.B Group, we saw a fundamental gap. Sovereign capability wasn’t failing because of lack of intent, investment or innovation. It was failing because the ecosystem itself was fragmented, disconnected partners, siloed systems and competing frameworks that made collaboration harder than it needed to be.

So, we designed something different.

From concept to construct

We call it Ecosystem-as-a-Service (EaaS).

It’s not another “as-a-Service” acronym. It’s a new architectural model for how sovereign capability can actually function: integrated, scalable and assured.

EaaS connects the sovereign landscape into one coordinated fabric and it’s the architecture behind AUSOVRN™, our seven-layer capability stack that brings sovereign partners together under a single operating model.

• Secure Hosting – Sovereign data centres.
• Cloud Infrastructure – Scalable, compliant environments for mission-critical systems.
• Hyperscale Compute – Platforms delivering performance and power.
• Mission-Grade AI & Analytics – Partners enabling decision intelligence.
• Cyber Security & Identity – Zero-trust assurance across every layer.
• Classified & Cross-Domain Capability – Environments built for Australia’s most sensitive workloads.
• Workforce Capability & Mission Delivery – Cleared professionals delivering on the front line.

Together, these layers form the AUSOVRN™ Capability Stack, the tangible expression of EaaS in action.

Why it was necessary

Sovereign capability can’t be achieved through single contracts or one-off procurements. It needs coordination, assurance and interoperability.

EaaS was born out of necessity. A response to the growing complexity of national resilience and the realisation that no single entity, vendor or department can solve it alone.

EaaS enables:

• A consistent governance and assurance model across every capability layer.
• Rapid mobilisation of trusted partners for national missions.
• Sovereign control over infrastructure, data and outcomes.
• A scalable pathway from local innovation to national deployment.

In simple terms, EaaS is the operating system for sovereign capability.

Delivering on the promise

Through CAN.B Group’s architecture and leadership, EaaS has moved from concept to reality.

By uniting industry, government and technology through a single framework, EaaS establishes the conditions for sovereignty, security and scale. It ensures collaboration can occur confidently, with clear lines of assurance, control and accountability.

We have taken the principle of national resilience and built an architecture that empowers trusted capability to operate as one.

The result

EaaS gives Australia a living, adaptive sovereign capability framework that can evolve with emerging technology while protecting the national interest.

It is not just about hosting data or deploying systems.
It is about creating the conditions for trust, collaboration and agility at national scale.

EaaS is not a service model. It is the foundation of a new capability era.

Built for the mission. Designed for the nation.
