What is a Cyber health check?
The test is based on a highly respected Australian standard called the Essential Eight, developed by the Australian Signals Directorate to help Australian businesses.
The test will assess your how your business is protected from common cyber security risks and identify items that may need attention. The service provider will offer some recommendations for fixing the important items.
The test will be the same for all small businesses, but vary in price depending on the number of devices to be tested.
