Cyber security for Canberra businesses, sized to the risk you actually carry. We put the fundamentals in place, measure them against the ASD Essential Eight and add more only where your risk calls for it. We are certified to ISO 27001:2022, so we apply the same discipline to our own business.

Security sized for your business

A business of 30 people does not need a security team of its own. It needs the fundamentals applied consistently, checked often, and someone watching when nobody is in the office. We set that baseline as part of our managed IT services, then build on it where your risk or your contracts require it.

Someone watching, around the clock

Most attacks on a business this size do not look dramatic. Someone signs in with a password bought from a broker, or a tool already on the machine gets used for something it was never meant to do. Neither trips a traditional alarm.

We run detection and response in the two places attackers actually go: the devices your staff use and your Microsoft 365 accounts. Activity that looks wrong is reviewed by a security operations centre staffed around the clock, not left in a queue until Monday morning. When something is real, the account or the device is cut off first, and you get a plain-English account of what happened and what was done.

  • Endpoint detection and response on every device, watching behaviour rather than matching known virus signatures
  • Identity monitoring across Microsoft 365 for stolen session tokens, sign-ins from places your staff are not, malicious app consents, and mailbox rules set up to hide a compromise
  • Ransomware tripwires, files placed where ransomware reaches them first, so encryption is caught early rather than after a file share has gone
  • Microsoft 365 hardening held at a known-good standard, with changes that weaken it put back rather than discovered at the next audit
  • Log collection and retention, so there is a record to search when a question is asked and evidence when a contract or an insurer asks for it
  • Managed Microsoft Defender, configured and monitored rather than installed and forgotten

What we cover

  • Email security and filtering to stop phishing and malware
  • Endpoint detection and response on every device, with managed anti-virus

  • Staff training and phishing simulation, run and reported for you
  • IT security assessments that show where you stand today

Essential Eight for Canberra businesses

The ASD Essential Eight is the baseline we use for every client. For Canberra businesses it often carries extra weight. Government buyers, prime contractors and DISP all ask about Essential Eight maturity. We assess your current maturity against the eight controls, give you a prioritised plan and lift you to the level you need. Most controls can be met on Microsoft 365 Business Premium.

Compliance without the panic

Cyber insurance: insurers now expect specific controls, such as multi-factor authentication, tested backups and staff training, before they pay a claim. We help you meet them and give you the evidence.

Defence Industry Security Program (DISP): if you are in, or want to enter, the defence supply chain, we help you meet the cyber security requirements for DISP membership.

Common questions

Yes. Attackers target small businesses because they expect the basics to be missing. Getting the basics right removes most of that risk without an enterprise budget.

It is investigated at 2am. The security operations centre behind our service is staffed around the clock and can isolate a device or shut down an account without waiting for us or for you. You get the report in the morning.

We review your systems, find the gaps that matter and give you a plain-English report with fixes in priority order. You can carry out the fixes yourself or ask us to.

More and more often, yes. Policies commonly require multi-factor authentication, backup standards and other controls. Claims can be refused if those controls were not in place.

Yes. We assess where you are, plan the work and implement the controls. Maturity Level Two is the level DISP expects at every membership level.

A security assessment gives you a clear, plain-English view of your security today and what to fix first.
