Community Services Organisation
Victoria, Australia · 30 staff, 47 licensed users · Pro Bono Business Plus · 93% training completion
Cyber Maturity Journey
The challenge
A mission-driven community services charity working with vulnerable families. Small team, no in-house IT, stretched budget. Board was asking pointed questions about donor data protection after a sector-wide incident made the news.
What we did
Onboarded pro-bono under Business Plus equivalent. Built out Essential Eight Level 0 across 8 controls. Rolled out tailored cyber awareness training to all staff. Set up MailCheck™ in Outlook and established a weekly reporting rhythm with the CEO.
The result
93% of staff completed training in the first month. Suspicious-email reports jumped from roughly zero to several a week. The board has a written report they can show donors. No compromised credentials in dark web checks since onboarding.

Retirement & Over-55s Village
Australia · Business Plus + Community Plan · Village-paid resident coverage · Scorecard 42→54→85%
Cyber Maturity Journey
The challenge
A residential village with hundreds of residents across multiple unit types. Families worried about scam calls. Management needed to demonstrate proactive care without adding a layer of paperwork for staff, and without asking residents to sign up themselves.
What we did
Rolled out village-sponsored Senior Protection — Wrap Around coverage for every resident under a single community fee. Ran an on-site launch event. Set up a family portal so adult children could stay informed. Established quarterly scam activity reports to village management.
The result
Residents feel looked after. Families have a channel to reach us. Village management has documented scam-prevention activity for annual reporting and insurance renewal. Scorecard climbing steadily toward the 85% target.

Hospitality & Accommodation Business
Regional Australia · Business Shield · Dedicated Named Analyst · Scorecard 33→73→75%+
Cyber Maturity Journey
The challenge
A family-run accommodation business holding guest payment details and personal information. Previous MSP had abandoned them mid-contract. Owner was juggling bookings, staff, and a looming PCI-related question from the bank.
What we did
Moved them onto Business Shield. Assigned a dedicated named analyst. Set up Microsoft 365 Business properly, deployed Defender, Intune, Purview, Entra ID and Conditional Access. Progressed them through 48 Essential Eight Level 1 controls over 12–24 months.
The result
Went from 33% to 73% on cyber maturity scorecard. Zero compromised credentials across all dark web checks. Owner attends a 30-minute review each month and signs off a one-page report. Bank’s PCI query answered with written evidence of controls.

Apparel & E-Commerce Business
Australia with USA operations · Business Protect → Plus upgrade path · Scorecard 33→61→75%+
Cyber Maturity Journey
The challenge
Small apparel business with a growing USA direct-to-consumer channel. Held customer credit card details and shipping data across both jurisdictions. Needed baseline protection before their next round of investor due diligence.
What we did
Started on Business Protect to lock down awareness and culture fast. Framework aligned to NIST CSF and CIS Controls v8 for the USA side, Essential Eight Level 0 on the AU side. Upgraded to Business Plus once the team was ready for active MailCheck™ and DarkWebCheck™.
The result
Scorecard nearly doubled in 12 months. Cross-border data handling documented and auditable. Passed investor due diligence on first pass. Dark web monitoring caught two employee password reuses before they became a problem — both remediated same-day.

Family Protecting A Parent
Victoria, Australia · Wrap Around Plan · Set up by adult daughter for her mother · Prevented loss
The challenge
Adult daughter set up Wrap Around for her mother, who lives alone and had already been targeted twice by phone scammers. Daughter didn’t want to be the one answering panicked calls at midnight. Mother wanted to feel confident, not monitored.
What we did
Signed mother up in 5 minutes. Called her personally for a welcome chat, got to know her by name, explained what the hotline was for. No app to install, no passwords to remember. Just a number to call when something felt off.
The result
Three weeks in, mother received a call from someone claiming to be her bank’s fraud team. Instead of panicking, she hung up and called Red Flagg™. Within minutes she knew it was a scam. No money lost. No drive across town at night for the daughter.
