Curated Resources

Government-Grade Resources We Recommend

These are the resources we point our own clients to as a starting point. Published by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), freely available, and worth the read.

Guide
ACSC Small Business Cyber Security Guide
The 2025 edition. A practical guide covering the core controls every Australian SMB should have in place, from multi-factor authentication to backups to staff training. A solid 30-minute read for any business owner or manager.
Checklist
ACSC Small Business Cyber Security Checklist
A one-page checklist distilled from the full Small Business Guide. Useful for an initial self-assessment and for measuring progress toward Essential 8 Maturity Level One.
Incident Response Tool
ACSC Business Continuity in a Box
Step-by-step instructions for re-establishing communications and critical applications during or after a cyber security incident. Developed by ACSC with the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and designed to be deployed by an organisation or its managed service provider.
Template
ACSC Cyber Incident Response Planning
Practical guidance and a template for building your own Cyber Incident Response Plan (CIRP), covering roles, escalation paths, communications, and recovery steps. Separate guides for executives and practitioners.

These resources are a starting point. Using them well, implementing the controls, writing the policies, training your staff, and reviewing regularly is where the real work begins. That part is what we do.
