“We thought our small business was too small to be targeted”

We hear it every week from Australian business owners, usually right after a scam, ransomware attack or data breach has already hit.

The reality? Small businesses are a prime target for cybercriminals. Scammers know you’re busy, short on IT resources and less likely to have the protections a large company has. That makes you an easier win.

One phishing email or weak password is all it takes to lock you out of your systems, expose customer data and stop you trading.

Our Free Cybersecurity Audit shows you exactly where your business is exposed and what to fix first, in plain English and with no obligation.

Cyber Threats Don’t Care How Small Your Business Is

Many Australian small business owners think cybersecurity is only for big companies. In reality, you’re more exposed because:

Criminals know this, which is why small businesses are hit so often. A single breach can stop you trading, cost you customers and damage the reputation you’ve worked hard to build.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does cybersecurity cost for a small business?

Our cybersecurity plans are priced per seat (per user), so you only pay for the people you need to protect. Each seat includes the essential cybersecurity software and ongoing support your business needs. Every business is different, so the best first step is to get in touch. We’ll recommend the right plan and give you a clear quote.

Small businesses hold valuable data, such as customer details, bank accounts and invoices, but usually have fewer protections than large companies. Scammers use automated attacks and phishing emails that hit thousands of businesses at once, so being small doesn’t make you invisible; it makes you an easier target. Learn more in our guide, Why Cybersecurity Matters for Small Business.

In about 20 minutes we review your devices, software updates, passwords and multi-factor authentication, email security, backups and remote access. You’ll get a plain-English summary of your biggest risks and a prioritised list of what to fix first.

The Essential Eight is the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s (ACSC) recommended baseline for protecting Australian businesses. It covers areas such as patching, multi-factor authentication, restricting admin rights and regular backups. We help you put it in place and monitor it at a level that suits the size of your business.

Combine technology with training. Turn on multi-factor authentication, use email filtering and keep software up to date. Then make sure your team knows the red flags, such as urgent payment requests or changed bank details. Our tips on protecting yourself from identity theft and staying safe on public Wi-Fi are a good start. Our phishing and scam awareness training is available onsite or remotely.

Disconnect affected devices from your network, don’t pay the ransom, and call us immediately. We’ll help contain the attack, restore your data from backups and secure your systems. You should also report the incident to the ACSC, and notify affected customers if their personal information may have been exposed.

Cyber insurance can cover recovery costs, lost income and legal fees after an attack, but most insurers now require basic controls such as multi-factor authentication and backups before they’ll cover you. We can help put those controls in place so your business is eligible for cover.
