Free SMB1001 Assessment
SMB1001 is a cyber security standard designed specifically for small and medium businesses, which is easy to understand and implement. Certification means your business is less likely to be hacked, while demonstrating to your customers that you take cyber security seriously.
We’d love to help assess how your current cyber security compares to the standard. Assessments only take about 45 minutes, and we’ll run through a series of questions with you over the phone, in person or online. No preparation required from you!
We then issue you with an easy to read report on any gaps, and how we’d work to fill those gaps. Most SMB1001 assessments are completed within one to two business days, depending on the size and complexity of your IT environment.
Why Small Businesses Are At Risk
Small businesses are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals because they often lack the layered defences and internal resources of larger organisations. Many attacks are automated, scanning for basic weaknesses such as weak passwords, outdated software or unsecured cloud services.
Without regular cyber security threat assessments, these vulnerabilities can remain hidden. Business owners may believe they are “too small” to be targeted, only to uncover gaps after a data breach, ransomware attack or operational disruption. Understanding your current risk exposure is the first step toward protecting your business and customers.
A Simple, No Cost Way To Check Your Security
Our free SMB1001 assessment provides a structured, easy-to-understand snapshot of your business’s current cyber security posture. We review your existing controls, policies and user practices against recognised security benchmarks, highlighting where protections are working and where improvements are recommended.
You receive a clear overview of your risk profile, along with a practical roadmap tailored to your business size, industry and systems. There’s no technical jargon or scare tactics. We simply provide clear insights into how well your security systems are positioned currently, as well as what steps will have the most significant impact moving forward.

The activIT systems Difference
Many cyber security assessments are designed to push businesses toward expensive solutions or long term contracts. At activIT systems, our SMB1001 assessment is different. It’s completely free and focused on providing honest and practical oversight into your security positioning.
We take the time to explain findings in plain English, prioritise recommendations based on your unique risks and give you the information you need to make confident decisions.
Whether you choose to work with us further or simply use the assessment as a reference point, the goal is to help you improve your security posture without pressure.
Why Choose Us?
SMB1001 Platinum Certified
In December 2025 we were awarded our SMB1001 Platinum cyber security certification, the first IT firm in Australia to do so.
An external auditor and validation team reviewed our cyber security posture and confirmed that it aligns to or exceeds the Platinum standard. This means we’re qualified to help your organisation reach certification from Bronze to Platinum.
