The most common cyber attack is still phishing. The most effective defence is still trained staff. Every Atria customer we onboard gets the same conversation early: “the technology can only do so much. Your staff are the most-targeted attack surface in your business. Are they trained?” Most aren’t — not properly. We built a training course to fix that: practical, structured cyber awareness for Australian SMBs (5-50 staff), with a clear pathway to SMB1001 Bronze certification.
SMB1001 Cyber Essentials Course (4 sessions): the flagship. Four 60-minute 1-on-1 sessions via Microsoft Teams that take you from current state to a clear path to Bronze certification. Designed specifically for Australian SMBs (1-10 employees). Live, conversational, paced to your business — not a recorded video course you skip through.
Custom on-site awareness training (on request): for businesses that want a single in-person session for their whole team — phishing recognition, password hygiene, AI Acceptable Use. Fixed-fee, scoped per business. Privacy Act + sector compliance briefings: for practices in regulated sectors (health, finance, legal) — a focused session on what the Privacy Act 1988 actually requires.
Why this matters: per ASD/ACSC and Sophos research, every 6 minutes a cybercrime is reported in Australia, the average small business incident costs $56,600, and 47% of businesses under $10M turnover have been hit by ransomware. Phishing remains the #1 entry point for breaches. The technology baseline matters — antivirus, MFA, backup. But the human layer is where most breaches actually start.
Training is delivered by Atria’s senior team — people who’ve been doing security work for SMBs for years, not third-party trainers reading from a script. We’re SMB1001 Gold certified ourselves, which means we’ve done the work we recommend. The first 30 minutes is a free conversation about what your team needs.
