Written for tradie directors, not IT people
If you've ever nodded along in an IT meeting without knowing what was actually being said - this is for you.
The numbers
What cyber incidents actually cost Australian small businesses. From the ASD's own annual threat report - not vendor marketing.
Essential Eight explained
All eight controls in plain English. What each one does, why it matters, and what "not doing it" looks like in practice.
What to do first
A practical starting point - not a 200-page framework. Where to focus, what to ask your IT person, and how to know if they're actually doing it.
Written by Kevin Whitmore
Kevin has been running centrase on the Gold Coast since 2007, supporting local tradie businesses, SMEs and professional services firms. He's seen every major platform shift - Windows Server to cloud, on-premise to Microsoft 365, dial-up to NBN. He wrote this guide because most cyber security content is written by vendors trying to sell something, or by IT people who've forgotten what it's like to not speak the language.
This is the guide he gives to clients who want a straight answer without the sales pitch.
