What is AgileSECURE aligned to?

AgileSECURE is aligned to the SMB1001 maturity framework, an Australian cyber security standard developed by Dynamic Standards International (DSI) specifically for small and medium businesses. SMBiT Professionals (Agile IT's industry association) is a member of the SC1001 Steering Committee that continuously updates the standard. We assess where you sit against SMB1001 today, then systematically close the gaps to reach Bronze, Silver, or higher depending on your risk profile and obligations.

How much does AgileSECURE cost?

AgileSECURE is from $44 per user per month, ex GST, once the environment is at baseline. If your environment needs uplift work to reach baseline first, that project work is scoped and quoted separately before the managed service begins. The per-user rate is confirmed after a baseline assessment.

Why does Agile IT align to SMB1001?

Most cyber security frameworks were built for large enterprises. SMB1001 is the only Australian framework designed specifically for SMB environments, with controls and maturity levels that match the realities of a 10-to-50-person business. Alignment gives you a structured, measurable security posture rather than a collection of disconnected tools.

How long does it take to reach SMB1001 Gold?

For most SMBs, reaching SMB1001 Gold takes 6-12 weeks from kick-off, depending on the starting position and how much uplift work is needed. Bronze, the entry-level baseline, is typically achievable much faster as part of the initial uplift; Gold adds depth across identity, email, endpoints, data and governance. We work through the gaps systematically, prioritised by risk.
