What is the Essential Eight?

The Essential Eight is the Australian Cyber Security Centre's recommended baseline cybersecurity framework comprising eight mitigation strategies: application control, patch applications, configure macros, application hardening, restrict admin privileges, patch OS, MFA, and regular backups.

How much does cybersecurity cost for a small business?

Cybersecurity costs vary by business size and risk profile. Basic protection for a small medical practice might add $20-50 per user per month to your managed IT plan. A cybersecurity assessment is the first step — call 1800 957 977 for a free assessment.

Is my medical practice a target for cyber attacks?

Yes. Healthcare is one of the most targeted sectors in Australia. Patient health data is highly valuable on the dark web, and medical practices often have weaker security than larger organisations, making them attractive targets.

What should I do if my business is hit by ransomware?

Contact SkyComm immediately on 1800 957 977. Do not pay the ransom. We implement backup and recovery strategies specifically designed to recover from ransomware without paying attackers.

Does SkyComm provide security awareness training?

Yes. We provide regular phishing simulations and security awareness training for your staff. This includes simulated phishing emails, online training modules, and reporting on staff security awareness levels.

Comprehensive Cybersecurity for Perth Organisations

Cyber threats targeting Australian businesses and healthcare organisations are escalating — ransomware, business email compromise, credential phishing, and supply chain attacks are now everyday risks. SkyComm provides defence-in-depth cybersecurity services for Perth organisations across Subiaco, Joondalup, Fremantle, the CBD, and regional Western Australia, aligned with the Australian Essential Eight Maturity Model and ACSC best practices.

Our cybersecurity stack includes ThreatLocker application whitelisting, SentinelOne EDR endpoint protection, Fortinet next-generation firewalls, Microsoft Defender for Office 365, DNS filtering, email security (DMARC, DKIM, SPF), and dark web monitoring for compromised credentials. SkyComm also delivers vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and Essential Eight maturity assessments to identify and remediate security gaps before attackers exploit them.

For medical practices, cybersecurity is a regulatory obligation — the Australian Privacy Act, RACGP CISS standards, and Notifiable Data Breaches scheme all mandate specific security controls for patient data. SkyComm implements and manages these controls, provides incident response planning and testing, and delivers staff security awareness training that reduces human error — the leading cause of healthcare data breaches in Australia.
