Tender Description

The Small Business Cyber Resilience Service was announced as part of the 2023-2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy. Under Shield 1 of the Strategy, Strong businesses and citizens, the program will support small businesses to build their cyber security resilience and capability.

Small businesses face unique barriers to strengthen their cyber security as they have limited knowledge, time, staffing and resources to invest in cyber security. Small business owners need help navigating cyber security information and applying it to their business.

The objectives of the program are:

build the cyber resilience and capability of small businesses
provide support to small businesses impacted by a cyber incident.

The intended outcomes of the program are to improve the cyber security of small businesses and their ability to recover from a cyber incident.

The Small Business Cyber Resilience Service (the Service) will provide free, tailored, person-to-person cyber security support for small businesses. The Service will provide small businesses with advice and solutions on improving their cyber security which are aligned with existing guidance produced by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) and, when developed, the cyber security health check program, which will be co-designed by industry and the Department of Home Affairs and hosted on cyber.gov.au. This includes triaging small businesses accessing the

Service, conducting an individual assessment of the small business and developing a tailored plan to improve their cyber security, recommending specific actions, tools and guidance best suited to the small business’ risk, situation and capability.

The Service will also provide support services to deal with the immediate aftermath of an incident, using a case management approach.
