The current cybersecurity landscape

"My business is too small to get hacked."

These aren't marketing numbers. They're the Australian Government's reporting on what's actually happening to small businesses right now.

How we can help

One assessment. Three levels of support.

Every engagement starts with a structured assessment to help us better understand where your strengths lie, and where you could use some help. Then, it's up to you how much support you want to close the gaps. See full service details →

Level 1

Assessment

We perform a full security assessment against NIST CSF 2.0 and ASD's Essentials series, the Australian Government's evolution of the Essential Eight. Your responses are scored and interpreted in easy-to-understand terms, then we provide a prioritised list of what to tackle first.

Level 2

Assessment + Roadmap

Everything in Level 1, plus a review of the tools you already own for quick wins without having to fork out extra money for new tools, and a summary mapped to what cyber insurers might ask for.

Level 3

Guided Remediation

Everything from Level 1 and 2, plus guided assistance with closing the gaps. This includes regular check-ins, vendor-neutral advice on what tools to use, and one policy document written for you, included at no extra cost. Additional policies can be added on if you need them. You handle the technical changes (or your IT provider does), and we make sure nothing stalls.

Who we work with

A bit about you and who we work with

You're a small to medium-sized business. You hold or process sensitive client or customer information and depend on a handful of cloud tools and suppliers, but don't have a dedicated security team, person or function.

Or maybe you're trying to win your business's next big contract with a company that wants to know about your data security practices. Perhaps you've read a thing or two about small businesses getting breached and you want to take the next step to give yourself and your customers more confidence.

Either way, we're here to help. We'll show you where things are, and what you can do without having to dig through your budget for full-time, dedicated resources.

The process

How we do what we do

Cut the fancy cybersecurity terms and scare tactics. You don't have cybersecurity training and thats why you're here. We make sure you're clear as crystal from our first conversation to our last.

01

Discovery

A short conversation about your business, what you rely on day to day, and what's actually at stake if something goes wrong.

02

Assessment

You complete a structured review of everything through a secure client portal, or we can walk through it together. This will cover every relevant security domain.

03

Report

You receive a clear maturity score as well as an explanation of what any findings mean and how it impacts you and your business.

04

Roadmap

We'll develop a prioritised list of the highest-impact fixes, so you know exactly where to start.

Built on recognised standards

We don't guess. We use real, industry-recognised frameworks.

Every assessment is developed against established cybersecurity frameworks, giving you confidence in the work that we do together.

NIST CSF 2.0

This Cybersecurity Framework assesses six functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover. This assessment will give you a complete picture of security maturity across your whole organisation, not just IT.

ASD Essentials

This is the Australian Signals Directorate's evolution of the Essential Eight, released in October 2026. It focuses on the security outcomes that matter most, across areas such as governance, identity and network boundaries, and sets out priority phases so you know what to fix first.
