Most businesses do not discover the gap between having cyber insurance and having a claim paid until the worst possible moment.
A Cyber Strength Audit tells you beforehand. We assess your environment against the compliance frameworks that apply to your industry, document exactly where the gaps are, and show you what it takes to close them. In plain English, not a 90-page report you will never read.
Tell us a little about your business and we will come back to arrange a time.
Your environment is assessed against the compliance frameworks that apply to your industry, including the relevant Essential 8 controls, and against the technical controls a cyber insurer expects to be in place.
Who can reach what, from where, and with what protection.
Operating systems, applications, firmware, and what has quietly fallen behind.
Not whether backups run, but whether they have been tested and whether they would survive the same breach.
The two routes almost every incident actually takes.
The settings that were right on day one and are not right now.
If you already hold a policy, we read it against what is technically in place.
Where you stand, ranked by what would actually hurt you, not by what scores worst on a spreadsheet.
Evidence you can hand to a board, an insurer or a client who asks.
Australian businesses of roughly 30 to 300 users. You will recognise yourself if:
None of these are predictions. They are last year's figures.
In October 2025 the Federal Court issued Australia's first privacy penalty. $5.8 million against a pathology company after 223,000 people had their information stolen.
$4.2 million of that was for failing to protect the data. The other $1.6 million was for failing to investigate quickly and failing to report in time.
The market data says the same thing. An Australian breach found and contained in under 200 days costs an average of $3.26 million. The same breach found slowly costs $5.17 million. Nearly two million dollars, decided by nothing except how fast you knew.
Most businesses could not answer the two questions both of those numbers turn on. What exactly was accessed. And when did you know.
If you have an IT provider, they are almost certainly handling your helpdesk, your patching and your backups. That is not the same thing as being able to prove what happened, to an insurer, to a regulator, or to a client who asks.
The assessment itself depends on the size and complexity of your environment. Technical onboarding for managed clients runs to about four hours. We will give you a realistic window once we understand your setup.
No. The audit gives you a picture of your risk and a costed path to closing the gaps. What you do with it is entirely your decision, including taking it to another provider.
No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is overselling. No provider can guarantee an insurer's decision. What an audit does is show you where your environment does not match what your policy assumes, so you can close those gaps before you ever need to claim. Cover is always subject to the insurer's assessment.
It is a second opinion, and a reasonable provider will not object to one. Plenty of businesses run an audit to confirm things are in good shape. That is a valid outcome.
Most businesses do not know whether they are genuinely covered until something goes wrong. Find out before that happens.
