Cybersecurity for small businesses.

Enterprise-grade protection delivered as fixed-price projects without the complexity, overhead, or 24/7 contracts.

Why this matters

Most breaches aren't sophisticated.

They're old passwords, missing MFA, unverified backups, and the laptop someone took home and never returned. The boring stuff that nobody got around to fixing until someone outside the business found it first.

Our job is to close those gaps with controls a small team can actually live with and prove they work before we leave.

What we deliver

Six fixed-scope service tracks allow you to pick the ones that match your priorities. Most engagements bundle two or three after the Systems Review.

Risk Assessment & Strategy

We identify vulnerabilities across your systems, cloud platforms, and workflows to provide a clear, actionable roadmap tailored to your priorities. Aligned with the ACSC Essential Eight.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Lock down your business accounts with TOTP or hardware-key MFA across core platforms. A 99% reduction in account-takeover risk is the single highest-ROI security control for most small businesses.

Account & Server Hardening

Removing unnecessary access points and securing default settings. Configuration of secure headers, firewall rules, and user permission least-privilege. Minimal attack surface, no enterprise-grade overhead.

Hardened Backups & Recovery Testing

Automated, immutable backups configured to a 3-2-1 strategy across cloud and local data. We then physically restore your data to a clean environment to prove recovery works, as backups you haven't tested are guesses, not insurance.

Incident Response Planning

A structured playbook to guide your team through a cyber incident. Communication templates, regulatory mapping (APP / NDB scheme), and clear roles ensure the first 24 hours aren't improvised.

Endpoint Protection (EDR)

Continuous monitoring and real-time response to threats on your devices to contain attacks before they spread laterally. Configured for small-team operability, not enterprise SOC complexity.

What You Get

  • Reduced risk of breaches
  • Clear visibility into risk
  • Tested, recoverable backups
  • Confidence during a crisis

Aligned to the Essential Eight

We prove the fixes work. Then we hand them over.

Every cybersecurity engagement closes with security validation where we try to bypass the controls we just configured, document the result, and hand you the evidence. The systems we leave behind are documented, owned by you, and audit-ready.

A common scenario

Cover the basics. Sleep easier.

The damaging attacks are patient. An attacker phishes a single mailbox login, then sits inside the account for weeks reading correspondence. They learn who your suppliers are, how invoices are worded, and when payments fall due. When a real supplier sends a real invoice, the attacker intercepts it, changes only the bank account number, and forwards it on. Everything else looks correct, because everything else is correct. The funds are gone before anyone knows the mailbox was accessed. Ransomware and credential theft are just as common. Almost all of it is preventable with basics most small businesses haven't got in place yet.
