Enterprise-grade protection — Managed EDR, a 24/7 Security Operations Centre, Managed Identity and Microsoft 365 security — monitored around the clock and sized for small and mid-sized Australian businesses.
Cyber attacks don't keep business hours — and the businesses hit hardest are the ones without a security team of their own.
Secure Nerds runs your security the way a large enterprise does — continuous monitoring, active threat hunting and rapid response — without the enterprise price tag or the need to hire specialists. It's built into how we manage your IT, not sold as a fear-driven add-on. You get a team watching your environment day and night, and a clear plan to close the gaps attackers look for.
Four layers that work together to detect, stop and recover from modern threats.
Managed Detection & Response goes well beyond antivirus. We watch every device for the behaviours that signal an attack — ransomware, credential theft, lateral movement — and isolate and shut threats down before they spread. Active threat hunting, backed by people, not just alerts.
A security team monitoring your environment around the clock, every day of the year. When something suspicious happens at 2am, it's investigated and contained then — not discovered when you open your laptop on Monday morning.
Most breaches start with a stolen password. We enforce multi-factor authentication, manage who has access to what, and monitor for compromised accounts and risky sign-ins across your business — closing the door attackers use most.
Your email, Teams, SharePoint and files are where the work happens — and where attackers aim. We harden, monitor and manage your Microsoft 365 tenant so it's locked down and watched, not left on risky defaults.
Australian businesses — especially those working with government, defence or in regulated industries — are increasingly expected to meet the Australian Cyber Security Centre's Essential Eight. We assess your environment against the eight mitigation strategies, tell you exactly where you stand, and give you a prioritised path to raise and hold your maturity level. We work to Australian expectations — the Essential Eight and the Privacy Act — not overseas frameworks that don't apply here.
A clear path from "we're not sure how exposed we are" to "we're actively defended".
We review your environment, identify the gaps, and baseline you against the Essential Eight.
We roll out EDR, enforce MFA, harden Microsoft 365 and set up reliable, tested backups.
Our 24/7 SOC watches continuously for threats, risky sign-ins and unusual behaviour.
When something is found, we contain and remediate it — and keep you informed in plain English.
Managed EDR, SOC and identity protection come as standard with managed IT — one team accountable for both.
Round-the-clock monitoring and response, because attacks happen out of hours far more than in them.
We work to the Essential Eight and the Privacy Act — the frameworks that actually apply to your business.
Most work is done remotely and fast; local technicians handle anything that needs hands on site.
No finger-pointing between an IT provider and a security vendor — it's all us.
Enterprise-grade protection scaled and priced for teams of one to a few hundred.
No — small and mid-sized businesses are targeted precisely because they're less defended. Managed security brings the same enterprise-grade protection to a business of any size, at a price scaled to your team.
Antivirus blocks known malware by signature. Managed EDR (Detection & Response) watches how software and users behave, hunts for active threats antivirus misses, and has a human team that investigates and shuts them down.
A Security Operations Centre is a team monitoring your environment around the clock. Most attacks happen outside business hours, so real-time detection and response — not a Monday-morning discovery — is what limits the damage.
Yes. We assess your current maturity against the ACSC Essential Eight, show you where the gaps are, and give you a prioritised roadmap to raise and maintain your level — useful for government, defence and regulated work.
Yes — hardening, monitoring and management of your Microsoft 365 tenant (email, Teams, SharePoint, identities) is a core part of the service, since that's where most business data and most attacks now live.
It's built into our managed IT plans and scoped to your environment and team size, rather than sold as a separate product. Tell us what you're running and we'll put together a straightforward quote — request one here.
We'll assess your environment against the Essential Eight and show you exactly where the gaps are — no jargon, no scare tactics.
