SMB1001 Bronze certification — seven foundational controls, director self-attestation, under A$100/year for the certificate itself. The implementation cost varies based on what you already have in place, but most Adelaide SMBs we work with reach Bronze in 60-90 days.
Most “cheap cyber security” advice is to install antivirus and call it done. That’s not enough — and it hasn’t been for a decade. The cheapest path to actual improvement is a structured framework that prevents the threats SMBs actually face. Bronze covers the basics: an IT support relationship, firewall, antivirus on every device (including phones — new for 2026), automatic updates, MFA, password hygiene, and backups.
(see above)
Our SMB1001 Cyber Essentials training course prepares your business for Bronze in four sessions, with a 90-day implementation plan tailored to where you are now. Most clients also have our Cyber Security service to handle the technical implementation.
