Before you start

Where should we focus first?

8 quick questions about verifiable facts: is MFA on, have backups been tested, that kind of thing. No guesswork, no "how secure do you feel" nonsense. Takes about two minutes, and ends with a specific recommendation, not a generic sales pitch.

Is multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforced on your business email and remote access, for everyone, not just some accounts?

MFA is the single highest-impact control in the Essential Eight, most account compromises don't happen if it's actually on.

Have your backups been tested with an actual restore in the last 12 months?

A backup that's never been restored is a guess, not a safety net.

Has an independent assessor reviewed your security (e.g. against the Essential Eight) in the last 2 years?
Does your business handle client financial, health, or other sensitive personal information?

This changes how much a gap actually costs you if something goes wrong, not whether one exists.

Is any business-critical system still running on a single physical, on-premises server with no redundancy?
Has your headcount grown 20% or more in the last 12 months, or do you expect it to in the next 12?
Does your team use AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) day-to-day without a written policy on what data can be shared with them?
Are there recurring manual tasks (data entry, reporting, reconciliation) that take your team more than a few hours a week?

Almost there: where should we send your results?
