Frequently asked questions

How often should we do a security assessment?

We recommend an annual comprehensive assessment, with quarterly check-ins for managed security clients. Ad-hoc assessments are wise after any significant change (new office, major software rollout, security incident).

Do we need a firewall if we’re using cloud services?

Yes. Even cloud-first businesses need perimeter security to protect local devices, IoT equipment, and remote access connections. Modern firewalls also provide threat intelligence and web filtering.

Can you help us meet compliance requirements?

Absolutely. We assist with Australian Privacy Principles (APP), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and sector-specific requirements for legal, medical, and financial services.

What’s the difference between antivirus and EDR?

Traditional antivirus detects known malware signatures. EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) adds behavioural analysis, threat hunting, and rapid response to zero-day attacks. We recommend EDR for businesses.

How do you handle security incidents?

We isolate affected systems, preserve evidence, assess the scope of compromise, remove threats, and restore services. For serious breaches, we coordinate with cyber insurance, forensic specialists, and authorities as needed.

Can you train our staff on security?

Yes. We offer engaging, practical training sessions tailored to your industry and threat landscape. We also run simulated phishing campaigns to measure and improve awareness over time.
