I want to meet my insurer’s cyber security requirements.
Help your organisation reach Essential Eight ML2 – the cyber security standard recommended for SMBs by the Australian government.
Assess how well your organisation complies with standards like the Essential Eight – and identify any vulnerabilities.
Protect your organisation’s computers, tablets and phones from cyber threats with a single, centrally managed defence system.
Make sure that your network’s users are who they claim – then manage their access levels to minimise risk.
Scan your organisation’s attack surface to find and patch any vulnerabilities – weaknesses a cyber attacker could use to gain access to your network.
Prevent malicious users from entering your network (and your team’s email inboxes) with properly configured firewalls.
Even with the best cyber security, critical incidents can happen. Give your business the resilience it needs to quickly recover through best-practice backup management and disaster recovery planning.
Your people are your biggest vulnerability. Help them avoid common cyber threats with regular education and training sessions.

The Essential Eight is a set of cyber protection strategies designed by the Australian government.
They’re ‘essential’ because, together, they provide a strong level of cyber protection for organisations.
Different organisations have different Essential Eight maturity levels.
Those are:
As your cyber security partner, we can help you implement the controls you need to reach ML2 – ideal for meeting both legislative and insurance requirements.
Even the best systems have weaknesses. Build the recovery plan your organisation needs with high-availability backup solutions.
Talk through your business’s current IT with one of our IT solution architects.
They’ll explain the benefits you can expect when you switch to IT Leaders.
One of our technicians audits your current IT system.
We’ll then put together a proposal that includes every product and service you need in one monthly invoice.
Changing IT providers isn’t like it used to be.
Most of our clients switch to us with fewer than 5 minutes of downtime.
Change can be that easy.

Yes, every organisation – from sole traders to multinationals – needs cyber security. A reported cybercrime occurs every 6 minutes in Australia. The average attack on a small business costs $49,600.
You aren’t too small to be attacked and, despite what you might think, cyber attackers do care about your data.
Would you store all your data – your business financials, your staff details, your customer information – in an unlocked drawer on the street?
An unsecured network is no different, except you’re exposing that data to hundreds of thousands of cyber criminals from around the world, not just people who happen to wander past your office.
If you don’t have strong cyber security, you’re rolling the dice on your business’s survival. It’s that simple.
If you have cyber security insurance – which protects you against losses suffered from cyber attacks – you’ll generally need to meet minimum requirements for an insurer to cover you. Most insurers base their premiums on your risk level, so a stronger security posture may also help reduce how much you pay each year.
Depending on your industry, you might be required by various legislation to meet minimum cyber security standards. Most
minimum legislative standards align roughly with Essential Eight Maturity Level 2.
When data is hosted in a cloud environment (versus on-premises servers), it’s more easily accessible to third parties. Most cloud security revolves around preventing unauthorised access to that data.
For example, if the access settings for a particular set of data are improperly configured, someone who is not a member of your organisation could gain access. Many cloud data breaches are also caused by account compromise – an adversary gets access to one of your staff logins and then uses that information to enter your network.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA, also known as 2FA) and the principle of least privilege are 2 of the simplest ways to improve your cloud security. Your cyber security partner should also have visibility across your entire cloud environment – if they can’t see the extent of your network, they can’t properly protect it.
‘CIA’ is an acronym: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability. It’s a framework that helps organisations protect their data.
Keep in mind that CIA is a way to evaluate your security needs. Once you’ve had your cyber security partner conduct a CIA audit, they’ll help you work out what actions need to be taken for each information asset.
