Anchoram Consulting

What Anchoram Consulting does

Anchoram Consulting is an Australian veteran-owned professional services firm headquartered in Deakin, ACT, delivering integrated consulting across security, assurance, integrity, and technology disciplines. The firm operates across four primary verticals — Critical Infrastructure (utilities, transport, space, industrial), Defence & Defence Industry, Government & Public Service, and Mining & Resources — with defence-specific offerings including Security Officer as a Service, IRAP Assessments, and DISP Application Support. Its service portfolio comprises six practice areas: Integrated Security Services (physical, personnel, cyber/OT), Integrated Assurance Services (risk, compliance, audit), Integrity/Fraud and Corruption Control, Enterprise Data and Digital Solutions (ICT strategy, architecture, data governance), Business Advisory (Chartered Accounting via the Anchoram Business sub-brand), and Anchoram Academy (learning and leadership development).

The firm's core technology is specialised human expertise and accreditations rather than a proprietary software platform. It holds security consulting licences across five Australian jurisdictions (NSW Class 2a, ACT, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia) and operates under IRAP and DISP accreditation frameworks relevant to defence clients. Revenue is generated through professional services billing on a quote-based, project or retainer model, delivered via an enterprise field-sales motion targeting government, defence, and critical infrastructure buyers through direct engagement (phone 1300 042 833 and email). Marketing is anchored on a content strategy (blog, newsletter), professional association memberships (DAMA, CAANZ, ISACA, RMIA, CPA Australia), and thought leadership from named contributors including Daryl Sheppard and James Kambourian.

The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity, and is led by Glenn Ashe as CEO and Harpreet Cheema as Founder and Chief Operating Officer. Operating status is active, with website content and blog activity dated into 2026. Customer logos, revenue figures, headcount trends, and explicit pricing are not publicly disclosed, which constrains external benchmarking.
