Why it matters

You shouldn't need to be an IT expert to know if you're safe

The businesses most exposed to cyber attack are usually the ones with no IT team, no big budget, and no time to learn a framework written for someone else. At the same time, AI has made attacks cheaper and easier to run at scale, so small businesses now face the kind of attacks once aimed at big companies, without the defences. Aussie Cyber Check is a first step you can take yourself, today, for free.

What's the Essential Eight?

Eight baseline steps, set by the ASD

The Essential Eight is a set of eight baseline mitigation strategies from the Australian Signals Directorate and the Australian Cyber Security Centre. They make the biggest difference for the least effort, which is why they are a sensible place for a small business to start. Aussie Cyber Check helps you understand and self-assess against them.
