Small business cyber security in Melbourne
Practical small business cyber security for Melbourne businesses: stop scam emails, secure every login and recover fast if something gets through.
Security that fits a small business
Small businesses are targeted because they're easier to get into. A fake invoice, a reused password or a laptop that hasn't been updated in months is often all it takes to lose money or data.
Our small business cyber security is practical, not scary. We focus on the controls that stop the most common attacks, guided by the Australian Cyber Security Centre's Essential Eight, and explain each one in plain English.
What our cyber security covers
- Multi-factor sign-in on email and key accounts
- Email filtering for scams, phishing and malware
- ESET endpoint protection on every computer
- Security updates for Windows, apps and devices
- Backups kept separate from your network
- Staff awareness training and phishing tips
- Firewall and Wi-Fi security reviews
- Help preparing for cyber insurance questionnaires
We come on-site across our service areas in Melbourne's south east and West Gippsland, from our Narre Warren base.
What good security gives you
Fewer scams reach your team
Filtering catches most phishing and fake invoices, and staff know what to look for in the rest.
Stolen passwords aren't enough
Multi-factor sign-in means a leaked password alone can't unlock your email or files.
A way back if it happens
Separate, tested backups mean ransomware is a bad day, not the end of your business.
How we improve your security
Assess the gaps
We review accounts, devices, backups and email against the Essential Eight and list what matters most.
Close the big ones first
Multi-factor sign-in, updates and email filtering go in first, because they stop the most attacks.
Keep it current
Threats change, so we monitor, update and review your protection on an ongoing basis.

What is the Essential Eight?
It's a set of eight security strategies published by the Australian Cyber Security Centre, such as multi-factor authentication, regular patching and backups. We use it as a practical checklist for small businesses.
We're a small business. Are we really a target?
Yes. Most attacks aren't personal. Scammers send the same fake invoices and phishing emails to thousands of businesses and wait for someone to click.
Can you help with our cyber insurance application?
Yes. Insurers usually ask about multi-factor sign-in, backups and patching. We put those controls in place and help you answer the questionnaire accurately.
