AUCyber Limited (ASX:CYB) has announced the establishment of an AI Transformation Division, formed in partnership with Australian AI implementation consultancy MosaicalAI, to deliver artificial intelligence governance, workflow automation and sovereign hosting services to Australian organisations.

Key Points

AUCyber has established an AI Transformation Division organised across three service areas: AI risk and compliance professional services, workflow discovery and AI agent builds, and managed sovereign AI hosting.
The Division is led by Jonathan Horne, Head of AI Transformation, a Melbourne technology founder and former CEO of Melbourne IT through its sale in 2023.
AUCyber has formed a delivery partnership with MosaicalAI, an Australian AI implementation consultancy, to support the Division.
Initial capital is limited to GPU hardware, funded from existing resources, with the establishment not expected to have a material impact on FY27 financial results.
The managed sovereign AI hosting service is being commissioned and is not yet generally available.

AI Transformation Division Service Structure

The Division is organised across three service areas. The first covers AI risk and compliance professional services, including governance frameworks, usage policy, risk and readiness assessments, staff and executive training, and board reporting. The second covers workflow discovery and AI agent builds, encompassing the scoping, design, build, deployment and management of AI agents performing defined business functions within a customer's existing systems. The third is managed sovereign AI hosting, providing AI models and agents as a managed service on Australian-controlled infrastructure, including as a managed on-premises appliance. This third service is currently being commissioned and is not yet generally available.

Staged Rollout and Internal Deployment

According to the filing, the Division will begin with structured market testing across a small number of sectors using a consistent entry offer, before focusing on sectors demonstrating the strongest demand. Further capital will be committed only as customer demand is demonstrated, with additional GPU capacity to be added in stages. AUCyber also disclosed it will deploy AI agents within its own operations, beginning with account management support, marketing and sales agents, to provide a working reference for customers. Initial GPU systems are being configured and tested to support customer demonstrations and early pilot work.

Leadership Appointment and Management Commentary

Jonathan Horne has been appointed Head of AI Transformation to lead the Division. The filing describes Horne as a Melbourne technology founder who has built and sold several Australian businesses, most recently serving as CEO of Melbourne IT through its sale in 2023. Horne said the Division was built to tell boards what is safe, address operational needs and deliver working results. AUCyber Chairman Joe Demase said customers want a partner who can help them use AI safely and achieve a return, adding that AI has moved from the innovation budget to the board agenda.
