Today, cyber threats pose greater risks to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) than ever before. To help them stay protected, Cyber Security Certification Australia (CSCAU) has updated its cyber security standard, SMB1001:2025. First introduced in 2023, this standard is specifically designed to help SMBs secure their digital operations and effectively respond to emerging threats—an area where many businesses struggle due to limited resources.
At Ingressum, we understand how challenging it can be to keep up with these evolving standards. We specialize in helping businesses not only meet the SMB1001:2025 requirements but also strengthen their overall security. Through our Secure Workspace offer for SMBs, we guide you through the essential steps, ensuring your business is fully protected by implementing this crucial framework.
Improve Cyber Resilience with Secure Workspace for O365
Our Secure Workspace for O365 goes beyond just meeting standards—it incorporates all elements of managed services, including Microsoft licensing, data backup, user support, and the management of daily IT operations. We provide all of this for a low and simple monthly fee, allowing your business to focus on outcomes without worrying about IT complexities.
CSCAU emphasizes that cyber security standards must continually evolve. The annual updates to SMB1001 keep businesses alert and equipped with the tools to defend against the latest threats. This proactive approach is particularly important given that 62 percent of SMBs have experienced a cyber security incident, according to the Australian Cyber Security Centre.
One significant update in the 2025 standard is the recommendation for businesses aiming for higher certification levels to use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) only through Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches, making your business more secure.
But we don’t stop there. If you’re aiming for the full ISO 27001 certification—a gold standard in information security—Ingressum’s ISO compliance services can help you achieve it, all at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional providers.
