Protect your business with the appropriate level of cybersecurity protection.
Every business is different. The vulnerabilities of a manufacturer are very different to those of a biotech company. One may be concerned with production whilst the other, data protection.
With an ever changing landscape, it is critically important for businesses to be aware of modern threats, whilst ensuring they don’t overinvest in things they don’t need.
We work with our clients to tailor a security strategy appropriate to the size, scope and scale of their risks. This ensures the business is adequately protected, without wasted expenditure.
Cybersecurity Services Include
Cyber Awareness Training
Our Cyber Awareness Training provides employees with brief, up-to-date lessons on current cyber threats and tactics used by cyber criminals.
This proactive education significantly reduces risk, strengthening the security posture of the business.
We also monitor and report on employee participation to assist with compliance & cyber insurance requirements.
Phishing Susceptibility Testing
By targeting users with simulated phishing emails we can test cyber awareness training effectiveness and target select users with additional training.
Emails are sent at different times and using different formats to ensure users stay sharp and aware of bad actors trying to steal their credentials.
DNS Filtering
DNS filtering protects against malware by blocking its attempts to “phone home” to control servers for instructions.
This prevents infected devices from receiving further instructions, disrupting malicious activity.
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR is a cybersecurity technology that continually monitors “endpoints” (e.g. laptop, phones etc.) to mitigate malicious cyber threats.
An EDR builds on traditional Antivirus software by adding behavioral detection and rapid response capabilities, offering broader protection against common malware and sophisticated attacks.
Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR)
Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) is a proactive cybersecurity tool that focuses on protecting user identities and identity-based systems from cyber threats in real time.
ITDR is an essential tool used to detect, investigate, and mitigate modern threats that if left unchecked, can infiltrate a system in minutes.
Penetration Testing
Penetration Testing (pen testing) is a security exercise that aims to find and exploit vulnerabilities in a system.
We conduct routine automated pen tests for all of our clients to collect as much data as possible to inform your security strategy.
Elevation Control
Elevation Control allows standard users to run specific applications with local admin privileges.
This allows users to be more productive without the added risk that their account could be used for malicious activity by a bad actor.
Dark Web Monitoring
Dark Web Monitoring monitors the dark web for businesses information that could be sold to an access broker (someone who sells stolen account information).
It finds stolen or leaked information, such as compromised passwords & credentials allowing you to change passwords before you’re compromised.
ACSC Essential 8 Alignment
The Essential 8 are the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s eight most recommended mitigation strategies to help Australian businesses protect themselves against various cyber threats.
As part of our security practice, we routinely review all our clients systems against the Essential 8 to provide an unbiased view of the company’s security posture.
We help clients align themselves to the Essential 8 where required for insurance or supply chain compliance requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Whilst your business is unique, many of the questions we are asked about cybersecurity are not. Here are some of the common questions:
How can you secure our business from cyber attacks?
The most critical gap we find in most businesses cyber strategy is lack of awareness. Whilst we have a number of systems, processes and policies that we will use to protect your business, ensuring you’re informed and well advised is most important.
We have an ‘X’ brand firewall, can you manage that?
Yes, we manage all major makes of firewall and network devices. We’re also hardware agnostic – we are not fixed or beholden to any particular brand. This means we will not recommend changing your equipment day one unless we can identify a specific risk to your business that makes commercial sense to solve.
Do we have to have an EDR/MDR/XDR?
Security threats are constantly evolving. That said, not every business needs the latest & greatest methods of protection. Whilst there are essentials everyone requires, we do not push advanced products onto anyone. We will simply highlight risks and explain the potential impacts so that you can make up your own mind how invested you want to be into security.
We recently updated our antivirus & firewall, we should be fine now yes?
No. Whilst still recommended, antivirus is becoming increasingly ineffective as 79% of breaches are now malware free. Additionally, with the rise of remote working and cloud systems, firewalls are no longer the umbrella of protection they used to be. A modern security practice needs to have far more components working together – let us solve that for you.
We’ve been recommended to use MFA/2FA, is that necessary?
Yes! Most breaches now occur using stolen credentials. Whilst MFA/2FA is not 100% effective, it significantly reduces your risk of the most common types of breaches. In fact, many insurance companies will no longer insure you if you do not have MFA setup on your core systems.
We don’t need to be Fort Knox, isn’t this all too much?
Whilst our approach to security may sound complicated it is more a function of the scope and thoroughness of our protection, as opposed to an oversized collection of expensive tools. We do a lot of simple things right. This formality and discipline to process is what can make our process look overly complex, yet is also the process that keeps our client secure.
We need to be Fort Knox, is this enough?
Our standard security practice covers what we believe to be the essentials required to protect an SMB against modern threats. For businesses that require higher levels of protection, we offer additional advanced tools & services to meet those requirements. Unlike cable TV packages, our aim is to ensure you have what you need, without wasting money on what you don’t.
