Cyber security for small business

Security built on the Australian standard

The Essential Eight is the baseline the Australian Signals Directorate recommends for every organisation. We put those controls in place, keep them maintained and monitor around the clock.

Done properly, security stops being a worry and becomes a selling point, especially when a bigger client sends you their supplier security questionnaire.

Good cyber security for small business doesn’t need an enterprise budget. It needs the right basics done consistently: multi-factor authentication on every account, devices patched quickly, backups that are tested, and staff who know what a dodgy invoice email looks like. We start with an honest assessment, fix the biggest risks first, then keep everything maintained month after month.

FAQ

Cyber security questions

It’s a set of eight baseline cyber security strategies published by the Australian Signals Directorate. Putting them in place makes a successful attack far harder. We assess where you’re at today and lift your maturity over time.

There’s no single certificate to pass. Alignment is measured against maturity levels. We’ll implement the controls, document your maturity level and give you the evidence you need for clients, tenders and insurers.

Yes. Small businesses get hit precisely because they tend to be less protected, and attackers automate, so being small doesn’t hide you. The good news: strong basics stop most attacks.

Very likely. Insurers increasingly expect controls like MFA and EDR. Aligning to the Essential Eight helps, but always check your own policy’s requirements.

We keep an incident-response plan for every managed client and act straight away to contain, investigate and recover, then help you meet any notification obligations under the Privacy Act.
