What does it cost?
Standard Steward pricing is A$900 / adviser / month (A$1,800 monthly practice minimum for 2 advisers). Early adopters get 40% off — A$540 / adviser / month, locked in for 3 years with CPI adjustments (A$1,080 minimum). Add-ons are flat per practice. Infrastructure (Google Cloud and MongoDB Atlas) passes through at our cost — typically around A$1,000 / month, depending on practice size and how much data changes each day. The pilot itself is free; implementation is a refundable A$5,000 fee credited against your first month if you convert (waived for early adopters). We count only relevant providers currently registered on ASIC's Financial Advisers Register — Professional Year provisional advisers, paraplanners, and support staff don't count toward your headcount.

What's the catch?
The honest one: we are early-stage and we want lighthouse SMB customers. Each quarter, the first 3 practices to qualify get the implementation fee waived and a 36-month 40% discount lock (early-adopter pricing held at 40% off whatever standard pricing is that year, with CPI adjustments). To qualify: a discovery call, an initial assessment, and an approved application. The cohort runs until further notice.
What if a consolidator buys us?
Surity360 makes you a more attractive acquisition, not a less. Capital-backed consolidators pay a higher multiple for practices with clean data, structured evidence, and a unified client record, because they do not have to fix it post-deal. That is exactly what Surity360 produces. Whether you sell to a consolidator, run an internal succession, or pass the practice to family, you walk into the conversation with the operational discipline that sets the price.
How does it integrate with XPlan and Worksorted?
We do not currently write back to XPlan. XPlan reconciliation is read-only and currently depends on the practice running MyProsperity alongside XPlan — we read fact find data and key client records from MyProsperity, then reconcile against Worksorted and HUB24. XPlan stays the SOA production engine. Worksorted has native API integration — bi-directional once you opt in, read-only by default during the pilot.
We don't use Worksorted. Can you support a different CRM?
Yes — any CRM with a documented API can be connected. Worksorted is what we run out of the box; SuiteCRM and a small number of others have working connectors today. Beyond that, integrating a new CRM is bespoke implementation work, scoped at the discovery call. The same applies to investment platforms outside the standard set: Netwealth, CFS, MLC, BT Panorama, Praemium and others can all be wired in — but as a custom build, not as a checkbox at sign-up.
What about HUB24, North, Netwealth, BT Panorama, CFS, MLC?
HUB24 — full integration out of the box including SFTP daily reports, alignment dashboard, and Playwright automation for portal-only workflows. North — full integration: Playwright automation plus client list ingest. Netwealth, BT Panorama, CFS, MLC, and Praemium — read-only daily report ingest is straightforward; deeper integration is custom implementation work on top of the standard pilot. Listed on the 2026 roadmap as productised connectors but available now via custom build.
How do you handle the $50 BID materiality test for SMAs?
Compliance lawyers now treat $50/year as the materiality bar for product cost comparisons. Every SMA in every review has to demonstrate that the fee differential over a cheaper alternative (a direct ETF, a model portfolio) is offset by quantifiable diversification benefit and satisfies the other key BID criteria — client return objectives, time horizon, tax/CGT position, liquidity, turnover suitability, ESG preferences, client familiarity. Surity360's data layer holds your live HUB24 and North holdings today, and the ADW (Advice Development Worksheet) module captures all the BID criteria as structured fields. The cost-vs-diversification view that computes concentration, correlation, and factor exposure for each SMA against a chosen alternative — and emits a BID-ready file-note paragraph that ties the cost gap to every key criterion — is a candidate Phase 1 pilot deliverable. Live data ingest and structured BID capture now; the standardised cost-justification engine is on the 2026 roadmap.
How do you support best-interest evidence at SMA review time?
The SMA sector has grown roughly 24% per year since 2019, and the regulator has noticed. ASIC has broadened its managed discretionary account review to cover SMAs, and at the December 2025 Professional Planner Researcher Forum, Count's head of investments said he had recently been asked by the regulator how an adviser can make a sound best-interest review decision on an SMA without standardised performance and look-through data — and acknowledged the question was not easy to answer. Surity360 closes the data half today: each model portfolio is monitored across 1D, 4W, 3M, YTD, FY, 1Y, and 3Y horizons, benchmarked against the indexes and peer funds you choose, with drift, drawdown, and relative return on the adviser's screen before the review meeting. Combined with the ADW module's structured BID criteria capture, the file note can show — on live data — that the SMA still aligns with the client's risk profile, return objectives, and the alternatives available. Live today; a productised review pack export is on the 2026 roadmap.
Where does my client data live?
Your practice runs in its own dedicated Google Cloud project (australia-southeast1, Sydney) and its own dedicated MongoDB Atlas cluster (Sydney) — provisioned exclusively for you, never pooled in a shared vendor datalake. No data is co-located with another practice at any layer. No data leaves Australia. All connections encrypted in transit and at rest. You can see it, query it, export it, and take it: you own the asset outright — freehold, not leasehold.
How secure is it?
Surity360 runs on the same infrastructure global banks rely on. Compute sits in Google Cloud (australia-southeast1, Sydney); structured data in MongoDB Atlas (Sydney) — both independently certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, both encrypted in transit and at rest. Cloudflare Access guards the perimeter with mandatory two-factor authentication and email verification on every login. Application access is then gated by bcrypt-hashed passwords and role-based permissions. Secrets live in Google Cloud Secret Manager, never in code or environment files. Each practice runs in its own dedicated Google Cloud project and its own dedicated MongoDB Atlas cluster — completely independent infrastructure, not a logical partition of shared hardware. No shared databases, no cross-practice access possible. The cluster is yours: you can query it, export it, and take it — you own it freehold, not leasehold. The isolation that once required institutional capex now runs for a single practice on a subscription, billed to you at cost. Surity360 is built for Australian advice practices and adheres to the Australian Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). All data resides in Australia; no client data ever leaves Australia. Offshore admin staff (for example Manila-based paraplanning) access the platform through the same Cloudflare 2FA, role-based permissions, and per-action audit log as onshore users — every read and write attributable to a named identity, aligned with ASIC's October 2025 expectations on offshore outsourcing. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) forms part of the standard contract, setting out controller / processor obligations, breach notification commitments, and the security measures we maintain against unauthorised access.
Will my licensee approve this?
We provide a licensee briefing pack covering data handling, hosting, security, audit, and ASIC alignment. To date, every licensee that has reviewed the pack has approved a pilot. If you are self-licensed, even simpler — you make the call.
What if it doesn't work for our team?
The pilot is scoped to one screen, one workflow. If your team does not use it after 30 days, that is the answer — and you have lost nothing. Source data stays in your existing systems. Worst case, you stop syncing to Surity360 and you are exactly where you started. It cannot break anything — read-only by default.
What's on the 2026 roadmap?
Practice Brain — an adviser-ready synthesis layer that produces structured summaries per client before every review meeting. Expanded platform connectors for Netwealth, BT Panorama, and Praemium. Tighter Lumiant integration. Salesforce and Dynamics connectors. Productised agent workflows for ROA filing, rebalance execution, and BID consent capture — all included in the Steward subscription.
