Small business IT security review in Australia, illustrating structured and proactive protection of business systems across a city skyline

Professional IT Security Review for Australian Small Businesses

Identify vulnerabilities, assess risk, and gain clear, practical recommendations through a structured remote security review


Do You Really Know How Secure Your IT Systems Are?

Most small businesses rely on computers, email, cloud services, and online systems every day — yet many don’t have a clear understanding of how secure those systems really are.

The Small Business IT Security Review is a structured, proactive service designed to give you a clear and accurate view of your IT environment, how it is protected, and where risks may exist.

Rather than relying on assumptions, the review focuses on visibility first — identifying real risks, documenting systems properly, and ensuring protection is applied consistently and correctly, without unnecessary technical complexity.

This proactive approach helps reduce risk and address issues before they turn into incidents.

The review is delivered remotely, allowing us to support Australian small businesses, including those in regional areas. All work is completed securely, without the need for onsite visits.

Who This Service Is For

The Small Business IT Security Review is suitable for small businesses that:

  • Don’t have in-house IT staff

  • Already have some security in place but aren’t sure how effective it is

  • Want clear, practical guidance rather than technical reports

  • Need to reduce risk without disrupting daily operations

  • Want visibility and confidence before something goes wrong

You do not need to have a virus, breach, or active issue to benefit from this service.

What the IT Security Review Covers

The objective is simple: understand your systems first, then apply protection properly.

We assess:

  • Devices and systems in use

  • Configuration and security settings

  • Existing protections

  • Gaps, inconsistencies, and overlooked risks

Many security issues remain hidden due to outdated settings, incomplete coverage, or undocumented systems. This review brings those issues into view so they can be addressed early.

 

 

How Our Remote Service Works

We start with a short discussion to understand your business, systems, and requirements.

  • Before work begins, scope and confidentiality are confirmed.

  • We connect remotely to review system setup, security controls, and protections.

  • Findings are documented and potential risks are identified.

  • Outcomes are reviewed, with clear recommendations and next steps explained.

  • Each session starts and finishes face-to-face on Zoom with an expert consultant, so you can ask questions and fully understand the findings.

All work is handled confidentially, with NDAs available as standard.

What the IT Security Review Includes

Full system security scan for small businesses, identifying malware, hidden threats, and weak or unsafe configurations

Full System Security Scan

Each device is scanned to identify malware, hidden threats, unsafe configurations, and missing or weak protections.

This allows issues to be detected even when systems appear to be working normally.

Virus and malware removal for small business systems, restoring stability and integrity with minimal disruption

Virus and Malware Removal

Where confirmed threats are found, they are carefully removed to restore system integrity and stability.

All work is performed with minimal disruption to normal business operations.

Installation and configuration of small business security software to ensure consistent and effective protection

Security Software Installation

ESET small business security software is installed and configured to suit your environment.

Security settings are reviewed and adjusted so protection is applied consistently and correctly.

System documentation for small businesses, recording IT systems and security settings for ongoing reference and planning

System Documentation

Your IT environment is documented in our Information Workbook, capturing key systems and security settings.

A lasting reference to support planning, troubleshooting, and confident decision-making.

 
 

With a clear, colour-coordinated layout, our workbook makes managing your IT assets straightforward, helping you stay organised and reduce security risks.

A STRUCTURED APPROACH TO SECURITY DEPLOYMENT

As part of the Small Business IT Security Review, all relevant IT systems are documented in our Information Workbook, including desktops, laptops, servers, mobile devices, networks, software, vendors, and known issues.

This creates a clear, written foundation showing what systems exist, how they are used, and how they are protected — before any security decisions are made. It removes guesswork and reduces reliance on assumptions or incomplete information.

For small businesses, this means:

  • No undocumented systems

  • Fewer security gaps caused by missing information

  • Security decisions based on facts, not assumptions

  • Clear, accurate records of every device

 
 

CLEAR, ACCURATE RECORDS OF EVERY DEVICE

You can’t secure what you can’t see — a complete IT device list closes security gaps and keeps your business protected.

Each device is recorded in detail within the Information Workbook, including operating system, user, location, antivirus status, encryption, and key hardware details.

This creates a single, reliable source of truth for your IT environment, making it easy to confirm what is protected, what isn’t, and where attention is required — before issues arise.

For small businesses, this means:

  • No overlooked devices

  • Consistent security coverage

  • Faster diagnosis and issue resolution

  • A documented reference you can return to at any time

 
 

The dashboard provides instant visibility into which devices are protected and highlights any systems that aren’t covered, helping you close security gaps quickly.

CLEAR VISIBILITY ACROSS THE ENTIRE ENVIRONMENT

All information captured in the Information Workbook feeds into a clear system overview, providing visibility across your entire IT environment.

This makes it easier to identify coverage gaps, inconsistencies, and emerging risks early — rather than after an issue occurs.

For small businesses, this means:

  • Better visibility and control

  • Reduced risk of missed protection

  • More stable, reliable systems

  • A clear understanding of what exists and how it is protected

 
 

Visual network and system diagrams provide a clear overview of how everything connects, helping identify vulnerabilities, improve security planning, and respond faster to issues.

Understanding How Systems Are Connected

As part of the documentation process, visual diagrams show how systems, networks, and infrastructure connect and interact.

These diagrams highlight dependencies, data flow, and potential points of failure that are often undocumented in small businesses, allowing security controls and future changes to be planned more accurately.

For small businesses, this means:

  • Fewer hidden risks

  • Better-informed security and planning decisions

  • Faster response when issues arise

  • Clear documentation that supports audits, changes, and growth


Why This Approach Matters

In small businesses, security issues are more often caused by limited visibility and inconsistent protection than by missing software.

By first establishing a clear understanding of your IT environment, Protect Your PC applies security correctly, identifies risks early, and supports reliable, long-term protection through a structured and transparent approach.


Compliance, Audits & Business Continuity

A documented System Overview provides clear evidence and assurance whenever it is required, including:

  • Compliance and audit reviews

  • Periodic security reassessments

  • Staff changes or IT management transitions

  • Changing IT providers or MSPs

  • Business sale, merger, or due diligence

Clear documentation reduces disruption during periods of change and demonstrates responsible risk management.


What You Receive

At the conclusion of the review, you receive:

  • A clear explanation of findings

  • Practical, prioritised recommendations

  • Documented records of your IT environment

  • Confidence in what is protected — and what isn’t

Everything is explained clearly so you can make informed decisions without technical pressure.
