What Our Audits Cover
Six Areas. Every One Documented.
Is your Sydney business meeting Australian cybersecurity compliance standards? Our audits cover every layer of your environment — from endpoints to email — and map every finding against the frameworks that matter.
01
Internal Vulnerability Scans
Endpoints · Servers · ApplicationsWe scan every endpoint, server, and application on your network for known CVEs — cross-referenced against the National Vulnerability Database with over 230,000 entries. Vulnerabilities are ranked by real-world exploitability using the Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS), not just generic severity scores.
02
External Attack Surface
Perimeter · APIs · Open PortsInternet-facing assets including websites, APIs, mail servers, and open ports are assessed to identify exposures before attackers find them. We map your entire external perimeter and flag misconfigurations that create risk.
03
Access Control + Identity
Privilege · MFA · Admin AccountsWe review who has access to what — and whether that access is appropriate. Admin privilege sprawl, missing MFA enforcement, stale accounts, and shared credentials are among the most common and exploitable gaps we find.
04
Email Security
SPF · DKIM · DMARC · Anti-phishingEmail remains the primary attack vector for Australian SMBs. We assess your mail security configuration — SPF, DKIM, DMARC alignment, anti-phishing policies, and Microsoft 365 tenant settings — against current best practice.
05
Microsoft 365 Assessment
Tenant · Conditional Access · SharingWe assess your M365 environment — checking tenant configuration, conditional access policies, mailbox permissions, Teams and SharePoint sharing settings, and admin role assignments against security best practices.
06
Compliance Framework Mapping
Essential Eight · SMB1001 · ISO 27001Every finding is mapped against the Essential Eight, CIS Controls, NIST, PCI DSS, and the Australian Privacy Act — so you know exactly where you stand against regulatory and best-practice benchmarks, with a prioritised remediation roadmap.
Beyond the Audit
Ongoing Vulnerability Management
A one-off audit tells you where you are today. Our ongoing vulnerability management service keeps you ahead of threats every day after that — continuously scanning, prioritising, and patching.
Book Your Audit
Continuous Scanning
Lightweight agents run scheduled scans across your entire fleet — Windows, macOS, and Linux. New vulnerabilities are flagged within hours of disclosure, not months.
Risk-Based Prioritisation
We use EPSS to analyse real-world exploitation data and predict which vulnerabilities pose the greatest actual risk — so your team focuses on what matters, not just what scored highest.
Patch Integration
Identified vulnerabilities feed directly into our endpoint security patching workflows. Critical patches are deployed within days, not weeks.
Executive Reporting
Clear, jargon-free reports showing risk scores, remediation progress, and trend analysis — tied directly to your monitoring + reporting programme.
Complete Cyber Strategy
Combined with employee cyber training and data protection, our audits form the foundation of a complete cyber resilience strategy.

Common Questions
Cybersecurity Audit FAQs
How often should my business have a cybersecurity audit?
We recommend a comprehensive audit at least annually, with quarterly vulnerability scans in between. After a security incident, infrastructure change, or new cloud service onboarding, an immediate audit is advisable. Regulated industries in Sydney typically require more frequent assessments.
What does a cybersecurity audit actually involve?
Our audits cover six key areas: internal vulnerability scanning, external attack surface assessment, access control and identity review, email security configuration, Microsoft 365 tenant assessment, and compliance framework mapping. You receive a detailed report with risk ratings and a prioritised remediation roadmap.
Will an audit disrupt our daily operations?
No. Our audits are designed to be non-intrusive. Most scanning and assessment work happens in the background. We schedule any active testing during low-traffic periods and coordinate with your team to ensure zero disruption to your business.
What is the Essential Eight framework?
The Essential Eight is a set of baseline cybersecurity mitigation strategies developed by the ACSC. It covers eight areas including application patching, restricting admin privileges, multi-factor authentication, and regular backups. We align our cybersecurity services to Essential Eight as standard.
What is SMB1001 certification?
SMB1001 is a cybersecurity certification designed specifically for small and medium businesses. It provides a structured, tiered framework helping SMBs demonstrate cyber resilience without the complexity of ISO 27001. All IT Services is SMB1001 certified and helps clients work toward their own certification.
What is endpoint detection and response (EDR)?
EDR continuously monitors devices for suspicious behaviour. Unlike traditional antivirus that scans for known signatures, EDR uses behavioural analysis to detect fileless attacks and zero-day exploits. We deploy Huntress-powered EDR across all client devices, backed by a 24/7 human-led threat operations centre.
What should we do if we experience a cyber incident?
Contact your IT provider immediately — do not attempt to investigate on your own. All IT Services clients have access to our incident response process including isolating affected systems, preserving evidence, assessing scope, and guiding you through your Notifiable Data Breaches obligations.
Do you provide cybersecurity services outside Sydney?
Yes. While our head office is in Brookvale on Sydney's Northern Beaches, we provide managed cybersecurity services to businesses across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Orange, Bathurst, and the Central West of NSW. Our tools are cloud-based so we deliver the same level of protection regardless of location.
