Threat protection
Managed detection, email and device protection, and patching that closes the holes attackers use — so threats are stopped before they spread.
Cyber security · Melbourne & the north-east
Cyber security for Melbourne businesses that need to prove they're protected.
Clients, insurers and partners increasingly ask one question: can you show your business is secure? Unity Systems protects your business to a recognised security standard and actively manages it all year — so you get real certainty, a clear plan, and proof when you're asked for it. Not a one-off audit you file and forget.

Why it matters now
"We're too small to be a target" is exactly why you're a target.
Attacks are automated, and smaller businesses are seen as the easier way in. At the same time, insurers and bigger clients now want proof you're secure before they'll work with you. One breach can mean lost data, days of downtime, and customers walking.

How we protect you
Layered protection, mapped to a recognised standard — and actively managed.
Real security isn't one product. We cover the areas that actually get businesses breached, measured against a recognised Australian security standard so your protection is structured, not a random pile of tools.
Access & identity
Multi-factor sign-in, the right access for the right people, and password hygiene — so a stolen password isn't the whole business.
Backup & recovery
Automated, regularly tested backups and a clear recovery plan — so ransomware or a simple mistake doesn't cost you the business.
Policies & incident plan
The written security policies and "what to do if" plan you'll need — and that clients and insurers increasingly ask to see.
Your team, trained
Your people are the front line. We train them to spot the phishing and scams that slip past the filters.
Visible progress
With Kevin, our portal, you can see exactly where you stand, what's done and what's next — no black box.
Prove it, don't just claim it
Security you can actually demonstrate — to clients, insurers and your own board.
We get your business to a recognised security standard (Level 3 · Gold) and keep it there. So when someone asks "are you secure?", you have a clear, current answer — not a shrug. Want the detail on the standard itself? See how SMB1001 works, or meet Kevin, the portal that shows your status at a glance.
Gold certified ourselves
We hold the standard we put you on (Level 3 · Gold) — we don't ask you to do anything we haven't done.
Managed all year
Security isn't a certificate in a drawer. We actively manage and maintain it, so you stay protected as things change.
A local Melbourne partner
Real people you can reach, who understand small and medium business — not a faceless national helpdesk.

Cyber security — FAQ
Straight answers to the questions we hear most.
We're small — are we really a target?
Yes. Most attacks aren't hand-picked; they're automated and sweep for whoever is easiest to get into. Smaller businesses are often seen as the soft target precisely because they assume they're too small to bother with.
What's the recognised standard you use?
It's a widely recognised Australian standard for small and medium business security, built in five levels. We get you to Level 2 (Silver) or Level 3 (Gold) and manage it year-round. For the full explainer — what each level means and how certification works — see our SMB1001 page.
What about the ACSC Essential Eight?
The Essential Eight is a great technical baseline, and the standard we work to is complementary to it — not a replacement. We can assess where you sit against the Essential Eight and lift your maturity as part of the plan.
Do we have to move all our IT to you?
No. Start with the free Security Scorecard and a clear plan. You decide what to action and when — there's no obligation to switch everything over.
What does it cost?
Managed security is a predictable fixed monthly fee. The free Scorecard comes first, so you see exactly what needs doing before you commit to anything.
