Practical cyber security for childcare services and not-for-profits

You look after children, families and communities. We help you protect the information they trust you with, in plain English and on a small-organisation budget.

Know where you stand

A simple check of your current setup, covering email, passwords, devices, backups and who has access to what. You get a clear picture of your biggest risks, not a 100-page report.

Fix what matters first

Cyber security is a shared responsibility. Build awareness, reduce risk, and make safer cyber decisions every day.

Bring your team along

Short, practical awareness sessions for staff, educators and volunteers on spotting scams and phishing, handling family and client information safely, and what to do when something goes wrong.

Give your board confidence

A practical guide to ASD Essentials, helping organisations understand what to protect, where risk is greatest, and how to begin.

Ready for the new ASD Essentials

The Australian Signals Directorate is replacing the Essential Eight with a new framework called the ASD Essentials. The Essential Eight still applies during the transition, and the work you have already done still counts. We will help you understand what the change means for an organisation your size and take sensible steps now, without panic or jargon.

Not sure where to start?

Most small organisations are not. Book a free, no-obligation 30-minute conversation, and we will talk through your setup and point out the two or three things worth doing first.
