“Security is a process, not a product” – Bruce Schneier
Why Upgrade Your Small Business Cybersecurity?
Cybercrime is not just targeting big corporations in Australia — it’s hitting small businesses the hardest. It's no longer enough to "wing it" or just install anti-virus, it requires a multi-layered approach. Here’s why you can’t afford to ignore your cybersecurity any longer:
-
60% of businesses close down within 6 months after a major cyber attack.
-
Cost of cybercrime to businesses increased by 14% compared to the previous financial year.
-
Average loss for a small business due to cybercrime is nearly $46,000 AUD
-
The majority of cyber attacks occur in small businesses, often with devastating consequences.
-
Top states targeted are Queensland, Victoria, NSW , and WA — and no business is too small.
-
A cybercrime is reported every 6 minutes on average, mostly affecting businesses without proper protections.
If you haven’t reviewed your cybersecurity in the last 12 months, you might already be at risk.
The Cyberkite Difference: Build Cyber Defenses Like A Castle 🏰
Just like a medieval castle needs walls, guards, and lookout towers — your small business needs multiple layers of defence to keep cyber intruders out. "Do it yourself" approach is no longer enough to strengthen and maintain those cyber defences.
At Cyberkite, we’ve developed the 7 Layer Cyber Protection Planning Model (below), based on Australian Government’s ACSC Essential Eight mitigation strategies and adapted specifically for smaller businesses. This model forms the foundation of our Cybersecurity Assessment, Upgrade, Ongoing Review & Support services.
7 Layer Cyber Protection Planning Model:

Model disclaimer: Our cybersecurity strategies and layers outlined above are not one-size-fits-all solutions and should not be implemented without professional assessment. We specialise in assisting small business with 10 staff or less and this model is tailored for this audience. Cyberkite’s cybersecurity professionals tailor each recommendation to your business’s size, systems, budget, and current threat landscape.
Our 3-Stage Cybersecurity Process
-
Cybersecurity Assessment: We start by identifying your vulnerabilities and map out your current state using our 7-Layer Model in an initial session.
-
Cybersecurity Upgrades: We then help implement essential fixes and improvements, tailored to your business’s risk profile and budget.
-
Ongoing Cybersecurity Reviews & Support: Technology and threats evolve — we keep your defences up-to-date with regular reviews and optional ongoing support.

Enhancing your security with us may also help reduce your Cybersecurity insurance premiums. Request quote for Cybersecurity and Business Insurances directly via this link to BizCover.
What we don’t support
To stay focused on the needs of small businesses (10 staff or less), there are some areas we don’t directly support—but we can refer you to a trusted specialist when needed:
-
Website security assessments, upgrades or support for complex websites (e.g. WordPress or eCommerce platforms) that require a web development or DevSecOps specialist. We can still provide general advice.
-
Large-scale corporate networks or enterprise-grade cybersecurity devices (like SIEM, advanced firewalls, or hybrid cloud setups) that are beyond the needs of micro-businesses.
-
Penetration testing or ethical hacking services—we don’t perform these directly but can refer you to reputable specialists if your risk level calls for it.
-
Digital forensic investigations or legal cyber incident support—we can guide your next steps, but we’re not a legal or forensic authority.
-
Forensic data recovery services—we don’t provide this in-house (apart from basic forensic data recovery) but can refer you to data recovery specialist providers (note: success is not guaranteed, especially for deleted or corrupted files so we always recommend sufficient backups).
If you're located outside the Greater Melbourne area (including nearby rural regions), we provide remote cybersecurity support. If certain tasks require on-site help, we can refer you to a local IT provider where possible.
