These resources have been developed to help small businesses improve their cyber security.
Keeping your small business secure
For a small business, even a minor cyber security incident can have significant financial impact on small businesses each year.
ASD's ACSC has published a range of resources to help small businesses protect themselves against common cyber security threats. Use our Small Business Cyber Security Guide and Small Business Cyber Security Checklist.
After following our guide, we recommend implementing Maturity Level One of the Essential Eight.
There are many simple and inexpensive measures businesses can use to improve their security. As a starting point, we recommend the following three:
- turn on multi-factor authentication
- update your software
- back up your information.
If you have questions about ASD's ACSC’s advice or cyber security more broadly, we recommend you speak to an IT professional or a trusted advisor.
