Maintaining cyber security is no longer optional—it is a critical business function. Whether an organisation in a regulated industry or an SME, both depend on customer trust and operational stability—the stakes are high. Cyber threats don’t just disrupt business, they can also lead to costly legal and regulatory consequences.
So, how do you ensure your organisation is protected? By performing a Cyber Health Check, a powerful cyber security service offered by Cyber Collab that evaluates your vulnerabilities, strengthens your defences that demonstrates your commitment to compliance and protection.
What is a Cyber Health Check Service?
A Cyber Health Check Service is like a digital health check-up for your business. It is a service designed to pinpoint weaknesses in your cyber security posture and offer actionable solutions to improve it. For organisations in regulated industries, it also provides valuable insights to meet cyber security compliance requirements, reducing the risk of fines or reputational damage.
The Australian Signals Directorate recently reported the rising financial toll of cybercrime: in FY24, the average cost was $49,600 for small businesses, while medium businesses saw a cost of $62,800. Large businesses faced similar losses at $63,600. These figures highlight the need to check your cyber security and act proactively.
How does a Cyber Health Check Service work?
Our Cyber Health Check Service is divided into two key phases:
Phase 1: Evaluating Your Security Culture and Controls
We begin with a tailored questionnaire and checklist designed to align with international standards like ISO27001 and Australia’s Essential 8. This helps us assess your organisation’s approach to maintaining cyber security. The questionnaire is provided to you, the business owner or key stakeholder, and your Managed Service Provider (MSP) or internal IT team.
We then conduct a workshop to clarify responses and map out your current cyber security framework, focusing on both technical and cultural factors that impact cyber security compliance.
It should be emphasised that this is not a finger pointing exercise. Rather, it helps all an organisation’s stakeholders agree on its cyber risk threshold and clarify who is required to implement each part of the strategy.
Phase 2: Identifying Risks Through Data Analysis
In this phase, we deploy advanced cyber security tools to uncover risks:
- Open Source Intelligence (OSINT): We search public domains and the dark web for compromised credentials, sensitive data or exploitable information.
- External Vulnerability Scans: Using automated scanning, we identify vulnerabilities in your systems and networks.
At the conclusion of both phases a report is provided that outlines the findings and areas of potential risk that require remediation. We then meet with you for a report debrief to review the findings, make recommendations for next steps and answer your questions.
Benefits of a Cyber Health Check Service
- Risk Identification: Gain a clear understanding of your vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure your organisation aligns with industry regulations, reducing the risk of penalties.
- Insurance Advantages: Some insurers recognise health checks as proactive measures, which can help reduce cyber security insurance premiums.
- Incident Defence: Demonstrate that your organisation took reasonable steps to protect its assets in the event of a cyber security incident.
