Go into Christmas without the Cybersecurity worries

implement SMB1001 in your business before 2026!

Finally, a cyber blueprint that makes sense for small and family businesses.

Join BizGuard founder Martin von Stein for four fast-paced, practical sessions that demystify the CyberCert SMB1001 standard and help you to elevate your business to the Bronze, Silver, or Gold level by Christmas.

Join us for 4x weekly sessions, starting:

Friday, 7th November • 10 AM AEST (Brisbane) | 11 AM AEDT (Sydney)

What's this all about?

Most small businesses want to take cyber seriously - they just don’t know where to start.

The frameworks look complicated, the acronyms are endless, and everyone’s trying to sell you something.

The truth? You don’t need to become an expert.

You just need someone to walk you through what actually matters - step by step, in plain English.

What's included

Four Fridays. Four Group Calls. Four Milestones. Zero BS.

  1. Intro + Bronze: Understand how CyberCert works and what you need to achieve Bronze.

  2. Silver: Build maturity with better processes, evidence and accountability with Silver.

  3. Gold: Learn what separates good from great with Gold.

  4. Interactive Q&A: Get answers, compare notes and map out the final steps to certification.

Each session is live, interactive and practical - you'll walk away knowing exactly where you stand and what to do next.

About The Standard

CyberCert SMB1001 is fast becoming the new benchmark for small-business cybersecurity in Australia.

It’s what insurers, clients, and government contracts are starting to ask for.

You could spend weeks trying to make sense of it alone - or four hours with someone who lives and breathes this stuff.

Either way, the clock’s ticking.

Wouldn’t it feel better to know exactly where you stand before 2026 kicks off?

Embark on a Cybersecurity Adventure!

01

Join us for an exciting journey... you know what, I can't promise that. It'll probably be a little boring.

02

Seriously, it's cybersecurity certification... like I'm going to try to jazz it up, but come on. I'm a realist.

03

I know marketers tell you to sell the sizzle and not the sausage... well there's no sizzle. Just come for the sausage.

Limited seats available

Here's all the details:

When is it?

Four consecutive Fridays starting 7th November (10AM Brisbane / 11AM Sydney time)

Where is it?

Online - links supplied before each session.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. We may charge for future sessions, but this time it's free. (Note: Completing certification does incur a cost from CyberCert as per their website.)

Who's this for?

Small business owners or managers from solopreneurs through to 20 people.

I'm not sure if this CyberCert thing is right for my business - should I still attend?

Absolutely - in the first session we'll go through the standard and help you work out if it's appropriate for your business.

Do I have to attend all four sessions?

During the first session, we'll help you work out which level is most appropriate: Bronze, Silver or Gold. If you go for Bronze, you won't need to attend the Silver (2nd) or Gold (3rd) sessions. If you're shooting for Silver, you can skip Gold (3rd). Or you can attend them all anyway if you like :)

I'm not sure I can make it - will there be a recording I can watch?

Sorry, no. These will be group calls where participants talk openly about their businesses, so we won't be sharing recordings.

...ARE YOU READY TO RELAX THIS CHRISTMAS?
