Cyber security

Security that fits a business without a security team.

Cyber security from Secure Nerds combines managed EDR and managed ITDR through Huntress with a 24/7 security operations centre, DMARC email authentication and an ACSC Essential Eight assessment. Security is included in the managed package from $1,000 per month for up to five users, and is delivered to businesses across Australia.

Most Australian small businesses aren’t targeted by name — they’re caught by something automated. We put the controls in place that stop the automated stuff, then have analysts watching around the clock for whatever gets through.

What’s included

How it works in practice.

Layer 01

The device

Managed EDR through Huntress on every laptop, desktop and server — with a 24/7 SOC reading the alerts, not just collecting them.

Layer 02

The identity

Managed ITDR across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, multi-factor authentication, and admin rights that expire instead of accumulating.

Layer 03

The inbox

DMARC so nobody can send invoices as you, filtering ahead of the mailbox, and training so your team spots what gets through.

Layer 04

The recovery

Tested, isolated backups — so a bad day costs you hours rather than the business.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re small. Are we really a target?

Almost none of it is personal. Attacks scan for an unpatched server or a password that turns up in a breach list, and they don’t check your headcount first. Smaller businesses get caught more often precisely because nobody is watching.

What does “24/7 SOC” actually mean?

A security operations centre is a team of analysts monitoring detections around the clock, including nights and weekends. That is genuinely 24/7. Our own help desk runs during business hours AEST — we keep those two things clearly separate, because plenty of providers blur them.

What is the Essential Eight, and do we have to comply?

It’s eight controls published by the Australian Cyber Security Centre. It’s mandatory for federal government entities and increasingly expected by insurers and larger customers in tender documents. For most private businesses it isn’t law — it’s just the clearest checklist available, and the one your insurer will recognise.

Can you work with the IT provider we already have?

Yes. Some clients keep an existing provider for day-to-day support and bring us in for security alone. We’ll tell you honestly if that split is going to cause problems.
