Why Cyber Security Matters for your Business
Cyber criminals don’t just target big corporations. In fact, small businesses are the most common target because attackers know you often have fewer resources dedicated to security.
Ransomware
Can lock you out of your systems and demand thousands in payments.
Phishing emails
Trick staff into giving away passwords or financial details.
Dark web leaks
Put your credentials up for sale without you even knowing
Vulnerability exploits
Can be used to quietly break into your network.
Reputation Damage
Once customer data is exposed, rebuilding trust can take months — or years.
Automated Attacks
Scammers use bots to find easy entry points across thousands of sites.
Insider Threats
Trusted staff or contractors can misuse access, intentionally or by mistake.
Supply Chain Attacks
Hackers target your vendors to sneak into your systems undetected.
Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks
Flood your network to crash websites and block customers.
Credential Theft
Stolen credentials can expose your accounts without you knowing.
Altered Invoices
Scammers intercept invoices and reroute payments.
Business Email Compromise (BEC)
Scammers pose as execs or suppliers to trick staff into urgent payments.
Ask yourself: Is your business safe? Do you have the right protections in place?

Cyber Security - FAQ
Cyber security can feel complicated — especially for busy business owners who just want things to work securely.
That’s why we’ve put together a clear, easy-to-understand FAQ to help you make sense of the most common questions we get from Australian small and medium businesses.
From understanding the Essential Eight and how to protect against phishing scams, to knowing what to do after a breach, our experts break it down in plain English.
Whether you’re starting your first security audit or fine-tuning your existing defences, you’ll find straightforward answers here.
Explore our most frequently asked questions below and get practical insights to keep your business safe, compliant, and confident online.
Why do I need managed cyber security if I already have antivirus?
Antivirus is just one layer of protection, and unfortunately, it’s no longer enough on its own. Modern cyber threats are far more advanced than simple viruses.
Attackers use phishing emails, ransomware, credential theft, and unpatched software vulnerabilities to gain access to your systems—and most of these bypass traditional antivirus solutions entirely.
Managed cyber security services provide a layered defence, combining Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), email filtering, ongoing vulnerability assessments, SIEM monitoring, and employee awareness training. This multi-layered approach ensures threats are stopped before they disrupt your business, keeping your systems, staff, and sensitive data safe.
What happens if we suffer a cyber attack?
If your business is hit by a cyber attack, SouthEast IT’s managed cyber security team acts immediately.
Our experts use EDR and SIEM monitoring tools to detect and isolate the issue, contain the damage, and prevent further spread. From there, we work on remediation—cleaning up infected systems, restoring data from secure backups, and performing a post-incident review to close any gaps.
We also assist with compliance and reporting requirements, ensuring your business meets Australian frameworks like the ACSC Essential Eight and SMB1001 maturity model. With our rapid response and disaster recovery planning, you can be confident downtime and data loss are minimised.
Will this disrupt staff productivity?
Not at all—our services are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing systems and day-to-day operations.
Tools like email filtering, dark web monitoring, and EDR run quietly in the background without slowing devices or interrupting workflow.
Security awareness training is delivered in short, practical sessions designed to educate staff without pulling them away from critical tasks.
Vulnerability assessments and patching schedules are planned outside business-critical hours whenever possible. This way, your business stays fully protected without sacrificing productivity or frustrating your staff.
How much does it cost?
The cost of managed cyber security depends on your business size, risk level, and compliance requirements—but it’s far more affordable than the cost of recovering from a breach.
SouthEast IT offers scalable, tailored security packages that include proactive monitoring, dark web scans, vulnerability assessments, email protection, and backups.
For SMBs, we align with frameworks such as Essential Eight and SMB:1001, so you only pay for the level of maturity your organisation needs right now, with the option to scale up as you grow.
We are completely transparent with pricing—there are no hidden fees, and you’ll know exactly what’s included in your package.
Do you offer ongoing monitoring?
Yes—ongoing monitoring is at the core of our managed cyber security services.
Threats don’t wait for business hours, which is why we provide continuous monitoring and response using tools like Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), and dark web credential scans.
This means suspicious activity is detected quickly, whether it’s an attempted phishing attack, unusual login, or leaked password appearing online.
Combined with regular vulnerability assessments and security audits, our monitoring ensures your business is always one step ahead of attackers, not reacting after the fact.
What types of cyber security threats are most common for SMBs?
Phishing, ransomware, malware, weak passwords, unpatched software, insider threats, and credential theft.
These threats are especially dangerous because SMBs are often less prepared.
Our managed security services include Email Filtering, Dark Web Scans, Vulnerability Assessments, and EDR to defend against them.
How fast will you respond if there is a security incident?
We have defined incident response procedures and SLAs.
Once alerted—by our SIEM or other monitoring tools—we work to contain the threat, investigate, remediate, and restore systems as quickly as possible. Our goal is to minimise downtime and data loss.
How often are vulnerability assessments and security audits performed?
We recommend at least quarterly vulnerability assessments, and annual security audits or whenever there are major changes (new systems, significant updates).
Regular assessments help identify gaps before they become breaches.
How do you ensure compliance with cybersecurity standards and frameworks?
Our services align with the ACSC Essential Eight.
We help you implement required controls (patching, backups, MFA, etc.), maintain documentation, and prepare for external audits if needed.
Do you monitor the dark web, and what happens if credentials are found?
Yes. Our Dark Web Credential Scans check for leaked/stolen credentials connected to your domain or staff accounts.
If something’s found, we immediately notify you and help secure those credentials—resetting passwords, enforcing MFA, and ensuring no damage has been done.
What is included in your backup & disaster recovery service?
Secure, regular backups of critical data; off-site storage; periodic restore testing; and recovery plans to get you running again after an incident.
We ensure data integrity and minimal disruption during recovery.
How do you keep my data safe during transmission and at rest?
We use industry-standard encryption for data at rest and in transit (e.g. TLS/SSL).
Access controls, role-based permissions, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and secure backup storage further protect your sensitive information.
Will your security services disrupt our business operations or slow things down?
Our approach is designed for minimal disruption.
Many services run in the background (EDR, email filtering, monitoring).
Training sessions are scheduled at convenient times. We plan major changes or patching windows to avoid affecting critical business hours.
What is your pricing model, and are there any hidden costs?
We offer scalable packages tailored to business size, risk profile, and required compliance level.
Our pricing is transparent; we clearly outline what is included (monitoring, backups, training, etc.).
Hidden fees are rare—extra charges only occur for specially requested services outside the agreed scope.
Can security services be customised based on our specific needs?
Absolutely. We understand every business is different.
We will assess your risk profile, data sensitivity, regulatory needs, existing infrastructure, and budget, then design a customised bundle (e.g. more focus on employee training, or heavy emphasis on backups or EDR).
What kinds of reports and metrics will I receive on my security posture?
We provide regular reports on security incidents, vulnerability findings, and dark web exposures.
These help you see where your risks lie and how we’re improving.
How do you protect privileged credentials and administer access control?
We implement best practices such as least privilege access, role-based permissions, Multi-Factor Authentication, and identity security tools like PAM / PIM.
Only authorised users have access to sensitive systems, and we monitor for privilege escalation or anomalous access.
What happens if my business outgrows the current security setup?
We scale with you.
As your business grows, your risk increases, and you may require more advanced services.
We regularly review your security posture and recommend upgrades — more frequent assessments, stronger EDR, more comprehensive SIEM, etc.
How secure are your own internal practices and systems?
Good question.
We practice what we preach.
Our internal systems use strong security policies, regular audits, employee background screening, secure access control, and our own monitoring for threats.
What if there is a breach — do you help with the remediation?
Yes. If an incident occurs, we follow our incident response process: isolate affected systems, forensic investigation, remediation, recovery from backups, and a post-incident review.
We also assist you with understanding what went wrong and steps to prevent future incidents.
