Support & Guidance
Clear answers for owners and managers evaluating readiness, timelines, evidence and how this relates to Essential Eight uplift.
SMB1001 is a tiered cyber security certification standard designed for small and medium businesses. “Readiness” focuses on uplift and evidence aligned to an achievable tier target.
We use the Essential Eight, published by the Australian Cyber Security Centre, as a practical baseline for risk reduction. SMB1001 readiness builds on that foundation with a structured uplift and evidence approach.
Most businesses start with a 90-day plan for critical risks. Staged uplift typically continues over 6 to 12 months, depending on scope and targets.
No. We focus on measurable uplift and maintaining controls. Outcomes depend on scope, business processes and the maturity targets agreed in your roadmap.
Evidence typically includes baseline findings, uplift actions completed, service reporting and review notes. The exact evidence set depends on your scope and targets.
Start with a baseline assessment and a prioritised uplift roadmap. We then align managed services and optional modules to the agreed targets.
We will confirm scope, set an achievable target, and build a staged uplift roadmap aligned to your business priorities.
