Cyber Security Services for SMBs

Keep Up with Cyber Security Requirements 

Cyber criminals are evolving rapidly, and businesses must stay up to date with current threats. Traditional IT management is no longer sufficient to protect against increasingly sophisticated Cyber-attacks.  

To maintain a strong Cyber Security posture, businesses need to have:

• Up-to-date IT and Cyber Security policy specific to their business and industry  

• Relevant Cyber Security frameworks such as Essential 8 (from the Australian Signals Directorate), Centre of Internet Security (CIS), and National Institute of Internet Security (NIST).  

• Strong method for delivery, ongoing monitoring and governance. 

• Leading technology and Cyber Security professionals that stay up to date. 

At P1 Technology, we leverage world-class best practices and AI-driven tools to minimise the impact of breaches. For example, if suspicious activity is detected on your Microsoft account, our AI security system will lock the account and notify our experienced technicians to investigate. A brief inconvenience is far better than suffering potentially catastrophic effects of a Cyber Security breach.

Why Traditional IT Policies Aren’t Enough

Most businesses focus only on initial implementation without adequate ongoing monitoring and management. This outdated approach leaves them vulnerable to breaches and compliance risks. 

How AI-Driven Tools Mitigate Breaches

By using advanced technologies like AI and machine learning, we monitor and respond to threats in real-time. 

• Automated account monitoring detects suspicious activity instantly. 
• Proactive response plans minimise downtime and data loss.

Protect Your Clients’ Data

Safeguarding your clients’ data is not just good practice—it’s a legal responsibility. Many industries have strict compliance regulations, and failing to meet them could result in fines, lawsuits, and reputational damage. 

Legal and Compliance Responsibilities 

• Businesses with over $3M in turnover are required to declare any data breach. 

• Financial, legal, and insurance sectors must meet specific industry regulations. 

• Without the right Cyber Security framework, insurance claims for breaches may be denied. 

Data Retention Best Practices

Many businesses store data longer than necessary, which can violate compliance rules. 

• P1 Technology helps you identify and securely manage sensitive information. 
• Implement data retention policies that align with industry standards.
