Cyber Basics Check
Five plain questions that close the doors most attacks on small businesses walk through. Tick what is in place, fix what is not, and let customers and partners see you take it seriously.
Based on the starting points in the Australian Cyber Security Centre small-business guidance. Read the ACSC guide · Something wrong right now? Call 1300 CYBER1 or report it.
Multi-factor authentication on email, banking and key accounts
Prefer passkeys, security keys or an authenticator app over SMS or email codes.
Automatic updates switched on
Operating systems, browsers, apps and devices update themselves.
Regular backups, with a restore tested
Important files are backed up somewhere separate, and you have tried restoring one.
Bank-detail change controls
Before paying new or changed bank details, you call back on a number you found yourself, not one in the email.
A simple incident plan
Everyone knows who to tell and what to do if something goes wrong, including reporting to ReportCyber.
Shown On Your Trust Report
With the three ACSC priorities in place, your Trust Report shows “Cyber basics attested”, labelled owner-confirmed.
An attestation by the owner, not a certification or an Essential Eight assessment. Place & Space does not test your systems.
