Cybersecurity Darwin
Security for real businesses · Darwin, NT
Not a brochure pack. The controls that stop most attacks on small businesses, in the right order, written up for your insurer, auditor or board.
Know what you have, lock down logins, patch what matters, back up and test it, watch the logs, and have a plan for the day something gets through. Scoped to your business, not a template.
Local
Winnellie-based, NT-wide
Free first consultation and a written plan before any commitment
The controls that matter, in the order that matters.
Essential Eight
An honest assessment against the ASD Essential Eight, then a staged plan: application control, patching, admin rights, MFA, backups, macros and hardened settings. Reassessed periodically so you can prove it.
Logins and MFA
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace hardened with conditional access and MFA that staff will actually use. Admin accounts separated. Leavers removed the day they leave.
Backups that survive an attack
Three copies, one offsite, one immutable. Restore tests on a schedule. Microsoft 365 and Google data backed up separately, because the platforms don’t do it for you.
Email security
SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up properly, spam and phishing filtering, and protection against the fake-invoice and changed-bank-details scams that hit Darwin businesses every month.
Logging and monitoring
The logs that matter collected and kept, alerts tuned so real events aren’t buried, and endpoint detection on the machines that count.
Incident response
Ransomware, business email compromise, a lost laptop. Containment, recovery from clean backups, evidence kept, and the write-up your insurer will ask for. Better: a tabletop exercise before it happens.
Staff awareness
Short, practical training and phishing tests that teach rather than trap.
Insurance and compliance
Cyber insurance questionnaires answered truthfully with evidence, and CIRMP or sector frameworks such as AESCSF applied where your industry requires them.
Networks and operational systems
Firewalls, VPNs and remote access hardened, and industrial or operational systems kept on their own network away from the office. See industrial automation.
Assess. Prioritise. Uplift. Document.
- Free consultation
What you run, what you’re worried about, and what your insurer or customers are asking for.
- Assessment and plan
A scoped assessment and a prioritised, staged plan you can realistically run as a business.
- Uplift with evidence
Changes made in stages with proper change control, and documented at each step so you have proof, not promises.

Common questions
Do we really need the Essential Eight?
Government, insurers and larger customers increasingly ask. Even if nobody does, the first few controls stop most attacks on small businesses.
We think we’ve been hacked. What do we do?
Call us. Don’t wipe anything and don’t pay anyone yet. We contain it, work out what happened, recover from clean backups and document it for your insurer.
Can you fill in our cyber insurance questionnaire?
We can help you answer it truthfully, and fix the gaps that would otherwise make you tick “no”.
Will MFA annoy our staff?
Done badly, yes. Done properly, it’s a tap on a phone once a day. We set it up so it isn’t a fight.
How much does this cost a ten-person business?
Less than one incident. Assessment and the first stage of uplift are quoted fixed-price; ongoing cover sits inside a support plan from $80 a site a month.
Darwin and the Territory.
Onsite across Darwin and Palmerston, remote anywhere in the NT, and regulated or remote operations by arrangement.
Live incident?
Call 08 7918 8590 first. We triage on the phone before anything else.
For everything else, the first consultation is free and you get a written plan before any commitment.

We’re the end unit of the 143 Coonawarra Rd complex, on the Mataram St corner — the same block as Top End Car Rentals and Campervan Hire.
Come around to the Mataram St side and park on the hardstand out the front.
Campers and caravans: under 12 m only, and by booking — book a time and wait for the confirmation before you drive over, so the bay is clear when you arrive.
