SMB1001 Cybersecurity Framework

Cybersecurity doesn’t have to be complicated — but it does need to be deliberate. The SMB1001 Cybersecurity Framework is a practical, scalable standard designed specifically for small and mid-sized businesses. At Epic IT, we help Perth organisations implement SMB1001 to strengthen their cyber posture without the overwhelm of enterprise frameworks.

Whether you’re just getting started or working toward Essential Eight maturity, SMB1001 gives your business a solid foundation for protecting systems, data, and reputation.

What Is SMB1001?

SMB1001 is a simplified cybersecurity framework tailored to the unique needs of small to medium-sized enterprises. Developed with reference to Australian government standards like the Essential Eight, it offers a staged pathway through three levels of cyber maturity.

Unlike frameworks built for big business, SMB1001 is designed to be accessible — with achievable controls, step-by-step improvements, and room to scale as your business grows.

Why SMB1001 Matters to Your Business

Today, cyber risk isn’t just a problem for big companies. In fact, SMBs are often easier targets because of limited resources, inconsistent IT practices, or outdated systems. The SMB1001 framework gives you a clear roadmap to reduce risk across users, devices, and cloud platforms — without expensive overhauls or compliance burdens you don’t need.

It’s about doing the right things first — email security, device protection, backups, access control — and knowing where to go next.

What are the levels?

Epic IT will help you move through these stages at your own pace — with guidance, clarity, and no technical jargon.

How It Fits With the Essential Eight

SMB1001 is a great starting point for organisations not yet ready for full Essential Eight compliance. It aligns with many of the same principles, just with lighter-weight implementations and more flexibility. Once your business reaches SMB1001 Level 5, you’ll be well-positioned to progress toward E8 Maturity Level 1 or beyond — and we’ll help you get there when the time is right.
