Cyber Security for Sydney Businesses

For most small businesses, effective cyber security comes down to a small number of high-impact controls: multi-factor authentication on every account, endpoint protection on every device, email and phishing filtering, tested backups, patched software, restricted admin access and staff training. You don't need enterprise tools - you need the essentials done properly.

The Essential Eight is a set of mitigation strategies published by the Australian Cyber Security Centre. It applies to any Australian business that wants a sensible, government-recognised baseline. We use it as the framework for our reviews because it's practical and locally relevant.

A one-off cyber security baseline review typically starts around $2,500. Ongoing protection is usually bundled into managed IT for $25 to $60 per user per month, depending on tools chosen. We scope every engagement in writing.

Microsoft 365 has excellent security tools built in, but most tenants ship with them disabled or misconfigured. We turn on MFA, Conditional Access, Safe Links, Safe Attachments, audit logging and the appropriate Defender features so you actually get what you're paying for.

If you're a managed client, we contain the incident, isolate affected systems, engage your cyber insurer if applicable, restore from verified backups and produce a written incident report. We also run tabletop exercises before an incident so everyone knows their role.

Yes. We complete or review the technical sections of cyber insurance applications and supplier security questionnaires on your behalf, which usually improves your premium and speeds up approval.
