Cyber Security
Cyber security that suits a small business
Most attacks on small businesses do not start with a sophisticated hack. They usually start with a phishing email, a reused password or an account without multi-factor authentication.
You do not need an enterprise security team to deal with that. You need the basics set up properly on every account and device, staff who can spot a suspicious email, and backups you know will restore.
Digitek sets up and looks after those controls for you, then explains in plain English what has been done and what is still worth doing.
A security review is worth it if
- Your insurer has sent a cyber security questionnaire
- Not every account has multi-factor authentication
- Staff share passwords or save them in the browser
- Someone on your team clicked a link they should not have
- Your emails land in spam or your domain is being spoofed
- You are not sure your backups would restore
Your team should be able to open their email and log in from anywhere without putting your business at risk.
What We Do
Our cyber security services
Every business starts from a different place, so we review what you have first and fix the most important gaps. These are the services businesses most often need from us.
Cyber risk assessment
We review your accounts, devices, email and backups, then give you a clear list of what to fix first, written in plain English.
Account and password security
Multi-factor authentication on every account, a password manager for your team and access set by role, so one stolen password does not open everything.
Email security
Email filtering, plus SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up properly, so fewer phishing emails reach your team and your domain is harder to impersonate.
Device protection
Antivirus, antimalware, security updates and device policies on every computer, and a lost laptop or phone can be locked or wiped.
Staff phishing training
Practical training and phishing simulations that show your team what a suspicious email looks like and what to do when one arrives.
Backup and recovery
Microsoft 365 email and files are backed up separately and restores are tested, so you can recover after ransomware or a deleted file.
Have remote or offshore staff? See our secure Cloud PCs, which keep your business data off their personal computers.
Essential Eight
Guided by the Essential Eight
The Essential Eight is a set of eight security strategies published by the Australian Cyber Security Centre to help organisations protect themselves against the most common attacks.
We use it as a guide when we review and secure your business. We work through the strategies that matter most for a business your size, then show you where you stand and what to fix next.
It is a framework to work towards over time, and we will always be clear about what has been done rather than promising your business is fully compliant.

Questions
Cyber security: common questions
What does cyber security for a small business include?
For most small businesses it covers multi-factor authentication, password management, email filtering, device protection, staff training and tested backups. We start with a review of your current setup and recommend what suits your business.
Is my business too small to be targeted?
No. Many attacks are automated and aimed at any business with email and a bank account. Small businesses are often targeted because they tend to have fewer security controls in place.
What is the Essential Eight?
The Essential Eight is a set of eight security strategies published by the Australian Cyber Security Centre. They include multi-factor authentication, patching, restricting administrator access and regular backups, and we use them as a guide when we secure your business.
Will this make our business compliant?
No provider can honestly promise that. We help you put the right controls in place and work towards frameworks like the Essential Eight, and we are clear about what has been done and what is still outstanding.
Can you help with our cyber insurance questionnaire?
Yes. We can work through the questions with you, explain what each one is asking and put any missing controls in place before you send your answers.
What should we do if someone clicks a phishing link?
Call us straight away on 02 4504 8643. We will help you secure the affected accounts, check what was accessed and work through what needs to happen next.
How do you help prevent payment redirection scams?
Email filtering and DMARC make it harder for scammers to impersonate your business, and we help you set up a phone call-back check before any bank details are changed.
How much does cyber security cost?
It depends on the number of staff and devices and what is already in place. We review your setup first and agree the price before any work starts, and agreements are month to month with 30 days notice.
Ready to find the gaps in your cyber security?
Start with a review of your accounts, email, devices and backups. We will show you what to fix first and agree the price before any work starts, with no lock-in contract.
