Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity for Central Coast, Newcastle and Hunter businesses, with practical priorities for your accounts, devices, email and people.
Overview
Good business security starts with knowing what you need to protect and where the gaps are. Simple IT helps businesses across the Central Coast, Newcastle and the Hunter strengthen user access, protect devices and email, and improve everyday security habits. We work through practical priorities with you, from multi-factor authentication and patching to staff training and an Essential Eight improvement plan, with the work and ongoing responsibilities clearly scoped.

What to cover in a business security review
A useful review should lead to clear priorities, owners and next steps. Bring information about your users, devices and the systems your business relies on.
Accounts and access
Identify who has administrator access, how staff sign in, where MFA is enabled and how access is removed when someone leaves. Include remote access and important third-party business systems.
Devices, email and recovery
Review patching, endpoint protection, email filtering and firewall management alongside backup and recovery arrangements. Confirm which systems are covered and who follows up alerts or failed jobs.
An agreed improvement plan
Prioritise the gaps that matter to your business and agree the work, costs and responsibilities. Essential Eight alignment is an improvement framework; it does not remove every risk or establish that all industry obligations have been met.

Cybersecurity — common questions
A small team still has valuable accounts, business data and access to customers or suppliers. Security should be based on the systems you use and the impact of an incident, rather than business size alone.
