Security that supports continuity, not disruption
Managed cyber security for Australian SMBs, delivered as an outsourced service.
Cyber security isn’t about eliminating risk completely. It’s about knowing where you’re exposed, applying the right controls, and being ready to respond fast when incidents occur. Synergy IT delivers managed cyber security services that combine prevention, visibility and response without unnecessary complexity.
Managed Cyber Security Services
Ongoing protection, monitoring and response for Australian businesses.
We deliver cyber security as a fully managed, outsourced service. That means we implement, maintain and improve your security controls as threats evolve, while keeping them aligned to how your business actually operates.
Cyber Security Assessment and Risk Review
We review your environment to find vulnerabilities, gaps and misconfigurations across endpoints, Microsoft 365 and cloud services. You get a prioritised remediation plan based on risk and business impact, not technical jargon.
Threat Protection and Risk Management
We implement layered controls to reduce exposure to phishing, ransomware, credential theft and unauthorised access. Where it fits your environment, we tailor the Australian Government’s Essential Eight mitigation strategies to materially reduce the likelihood and impact of common cyber incidents.
Backup and data recovery
We design and manage secure backups to protect against data loss, ransomware and system failure. Backups are monitored and tested so critical business data can be restored quickly, minimising downtime.
Incident Response and Remediation
If an incident occurs, speed and experience matter. We help contain threats, restore systems and reduce operational impact, then address root causes to prevent recurrence.
Staff Awareness and Training
Human error remains a leading cause of cyber incidents. We deliver practical awareness training so staff can recognise phishing and social engineering, reducing risk without disrupting productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is cyber security only relevant for large organisations?
No. Small and medium Australian businesses are frequently targeted because they often have fewer security controls in place. Managed cyber security helps reduce risk regardless of business size.
What does a managed cyber security service include?
Managed cyber security typically includes ongoing monitoring, threat detection, risk management, backup and recovery, incident response, and security awareness support, delivered as an outsourced service.
How is cyber security different from antivirus software?
Antivirus is only one control. Cyber security covers identity protection, access controls, endpoint security, backups, monitoring, incident response and user behaviour, all working together to reduce risk.
Can you align our security with the Essential Eight?
Yes. Where appropriate, we tailor security controls in line with the Essential Eight mitigation strategies recommended by Australian Cyber Security Centre, adapting them to suit your business size, risk profile and operating environment.
Do you provide incident response if something goes wrong?
Yes. If a cyber incident occurs, we provide support to contain the threat, restore systems, minimise downtime and address root causes to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
How do you protect against ransomware and data loss?
We implement layered security controls and design secure backup and recovery solutions. Backups are monitored and tested to ensure critical data can be restored quickly following an incident.
Will cyber security disrupt day-to-day operations?
No. Our approach focuses on security that supports continuity, not disruption. Controls are designed to protect your environment without creating unnecessary friction for staff.
Is staff training really necessary?
Yes. Human error is a leading cause of cyber incidents. Practical security awareness training helps staff recognise phishing, social engineering and unsafe behaviour, significantly reducing risk.
Can cyber security be integrated with our existing IT and Microsoft 365 environment?
Yes. Cyber security is delivered as part of a broader managed IT environment, including Microsoft 365 and cloud platforms, to reduce gaps and simplify management.
What is included in a free cyber security audit?
A cyber security audit reviews your current environment, identifies priority risks and provides clear, practical recommendations to improve your security posture.
Do you support Australian data residency requirements?
Yes. Where required, we design security and cloud configurations to support Australian data residency and compliance considerations.
