Honest, plain-English security documents for Australian businesses of 1 to 20 people, in three fixed-fee editions.' --- # Your Business as the Third Party ## You run a good business. Now your customers want proof. It arrives as a security questionnaire from your biggest customer, a clause in a tender, or new questions on your insurance renewal. Forty questions about policies, multi-factor authentication and incident plans. Due Friday. - **The contract.** The customer you worked hard to win, and the ones like them you want next. - **Your cover.** Insurers now ask how you protect the business before they renew. - **Your reputation.** One fake invoice or leaked file can undo years of goodwill. **The bind:** big consultancies are built for banks, ticking boxes you can't back up is worse than leaving them blank, and you're running a business, not a security team. ## One workbook. One conversation. Documents built from your answers. You tell us how your business really works, in plain English. We agree an honest position with you, then build the documents your customers and insurers ask for, from your own answers. 1. **Fill in one workbook.** In plain English, with our advice beside every question. 2. **Agree your position.** One conversation to confirm what you do and what's next. 3. **We build your documents.** From your own answers, then you review them. 4. **Sign and get back to work.** Share with customers and insurers with confidence. - **Honest, not "all green".** Every answer is true. If something doesn't suit you, we record your decision and why. Reviewers trust that far more than a perfect score. - **Protection, not paperwork.** Every rule earns its place by stopping a real loss: fraud, account takeover, ransomware, a lost laptop. - **Yours to keep.** Plain-English documents built for your business, ready to share and easy to keep up to date. ## Three editions. One idea. Every edition is built for businesses of 1 to 20 people. What changes is how much assurance your customers need. ### Foundations *When your customers want reassurance.* - 22 practical rules - A one-page Security Statement - Ready answers for common questions ### Foundations Plus *When customers expect Essential Eight thinking, or your risk is higher.* - 51 rules covering every Essential Eight theme - A Security Scorecard and 12-month roadmap - Answers for longer questionnaires ### Regulated *When you work inside regulated customers' systems or data.* - An Essential Eight maturity baseline, with evidence - Policy, standards and answers mapped to key frameworks - Regulatory call-outs, plus an optional CPS 234 add-on **Designed to get out of your way.** We've done the heavy lifting up front, so you're not paying for a month of bespoke consulting at big-firm rates. ## What it isn't An audit, a certification or a guarantee against attack. It's an honest, documented position you can stand behind, and practical protection that makes you much harder to hurt. ## Common questions **Is this a certification?** No. It's an honest, documented position you can stand behind. Reviewers trust a truthful answer with a recorded decision far more than a perfect score nobody can back up. **Do I need to change IT provider?** No. We work alongside your IT provider, never instead of them. Anything that needs building or configuring goes to them. **What does it cost?** Each edition has a fixed fee, so you know the cost before we start. Call us for current pricing. **What if a customer asks something the documents don't cover?** That's what [Keep It Current](http://secureaf.com.au/services#keep-it-current) is for: we help you answer the next questionnaire using your documents, and refresh them each year. ## Not sure which edition fits?
