Essential Tech assesses your controls, closes the gaps and certifies you against SMB1001, the Australian cyber security standard for small and medium businesses, so you can show clients, insurers and tenders a certificate.

Why it matters now
A certificate answers questions that a long email describing your controls can’t.
A client sends a security questionnaire and expects a certificate at a defined tier.
A contract asks for SMB1001, or for a specific tier.
A certificate gives you a document to attach, not just answers to type.
Each new edition means recertifying, so it needs planning, not a scramble.
How SMB1001 works
Each tier includes every control from the tiers below, across five control domains: technology, access, backup and recovery, policies, and training. Working on your Essential Eight maturity? See Essential Eight assessment. Want ongoing leadership-level guidance? See our vCIO SMB1001 advisory.
