SMB1001 Certification
|
Australian courts and regulators have made clear through three enforcement actions in four years that cybersecurity risk management is a director duty—not an IT matter, not a discretionary governance exercise. What the cases have collectively established is that the standard isn't perfection. It's proportionality: documented controls, qualified expertise, trained staff, and a tested incident response plan, all commensurate with the size of your business and the sensitivity of the data you hold. The question asked isn't whether an attack happened. It's whether the organisation—and those governing it—can point to genuine, documented, proportionate steps taken before the incident.
That's where certification helps. SMB1001 creates a structured, director-attested, publicly verifiable record that specific controls are in place; renewed annually, visible on a public register, and mapped to the obligations the case law identifies.
Join Ryan Ettridge, CEO and Co-Founder of CyberCert, for an in-person session on how IT Providers are critical in bringing this to life for themselves and their SMB clients.

The Joys & Pitfalls of Running In-Person Events Using Vendor Marketing & Development Funds
|
|
Paul Barge
|
|
Having helped organise and present at over 70 events over the last year and a half, I’ve gained strong, practical insights into what truly works — and what to avoid — when it comes to delivering high‑impact partner events.
The session will focus on how events can be planned and executed effectively, how to maximise MDF investment, and how to differentiate partner events so they stand out in a crowded market. I will also share proven tips and practical tactics that help partners create engaging, memorable experiences that genuinely drive attendance, pipeline, and new business outcomes.
