CyberSentienCyber security compliance for Australian small business
A 20-person firm gets a security questionnaire from a big customer, a tender demanding Essential Eight maturity, and an insurer asking for MFA and backup evidence — all at once, with no security team. A self-scored checklist doesn't survive the first real request for proof.
Customers work in their own workspace at smb.cybersentien.com, prepared when the subscription starts. The try-out runs on sample data.
What you get
Get cyber-compliant on real evidence, not a checklist: Essential Eight maturity and an evidence pack that satisfies a customer, a tender or a cyber insurer — in the cheapest lane on the sheet. Readiness, never a fake pass.
Leading cyber security and compliance, without the big price tag.

Frequently asked
How do I make my small business cyber compliant in Australia?
Start with the Essential Eight baseline, evidence your controls (MFA, backups, patching), and assess against the framework your customer or insurer requires. CyberSentien assesses real evidence and outputs a defensible report.
What cyber certification do I need to win a contract or tender?
It depends on the buyer — often Essential Eight maturity or a small-business baseline. CyberSentien produces the evidence pack that proves your controls; it prepares readiness rather than issuing certification.
Is the Essential Eight mandatory for small business?
Not universally, but government suppliers and defence-adjacent contractors are increasingly required to demonstrate maturity levels, and insurers and customers often ask for evidence.
How much does this cost?
The SMB Cyber Baseline is $6,612 / year (or $580 / month billed monthly) — well below a manual consulting engagement, and it is a continuous evidence-based assessment rather than a one-off static checklist.
