Financial impact averages $39,000. Let’s not pretend it can’t happen to you. First thing is to know what your vulnerabilities are. Good news: you can find out a lot for free. A new Government initiative provides a basic audit (there’s a lead time of a week or so) but we offer a similar service for any small business with more than 5 employees (no lead time; scroll down to start). After that we give you more free advice on the phone.

If you want to do the government audit, we are happy to have a call and prep you for the questions. Ask for Garry or Amir on 9325 1196.

Second thing is to grab the low-hanging fruit. There are cheap and low-cost steps you can take that seriously improve your security level.

Then you have the option of getting some paid-for services appropriate to your business size. But first things first. Let’s work out your strengths and weaknesses… answer a few questions and reduce a very real business risk.
