Managed Cyber Security Services for Melbourne Professional Firms

Q: Is cyber security included in Intuitive IT's managed IT?

Yes. The 24/7 Security Operations Centre and SMB1001 security uplift are included in Intuitive IT's fixed per-user managed IT fee. There is no separate cyber security bill.

Q: Can Intuitive IT help us answer our cyber insurance questionnaire?

Yes. Because your security uplift is measured against SMB1001, Intuitive IT can show insurers what controls are in place and what is planned, with evidence rather than ticked boxes.

Q: What happens if our firm has a security incident?

Intuitive IT's Security Operations Centre monitors your endpoints and Microsoft 365 sign-ins around the clock. When it detects a threat, response starts within minutes.

Q: Can we buy Intuitive IT's managed cyber security on its own?

No. Managed cyber security is part of Intuitive IT's fixed-fee managed IT service and isn't sold separately, because security works best when the same team runs your IT.

Q: Which firms is Intuitive IT's managed cyber security right for?

Accounting practices, wealth and fund managers, law firms and recruitment agencies with 10 to 200 staff. Intuitive IT is not the right fit for businesses under 10 staff.

Intuitive IT protects accounting practices, wealth and fund managers, law firms and recruitment agencies with 10 to 200 staff. A 24/7 Security Operations Centre monitors your endpoints and Microsoft 365 sign-ins, and your security uplift is measured against SMB1001, so you can show clients, insurers and auditors exactly where you stand.

Why professional services firms are a target

Accounting, wealth, legal and recruitment firms hold exactly what attackers want: tax file numbers, identity documents, bank details, client portfolios and candidate records. They also move money and send invoices, which makes them a natural target for email compromise and payment redirection.

Most firms of 10 to 200 staff don't have a security team. The partners still carry the risk, and clients, insurers and auditors increasingly ask for evidence that it's being managed. Managed cyber security gives you that evidence without hiring for it.

Essential Eight and SMB1001: which one fits your firm

The Essential Eight is the Australian Signals Directorate's baseline of eight mitigation strategies, assessed in maturity levels. SMB1001 is an Australian cyber security standard written for small and medium businesses, with tiers you work up through and can certify against.

Intuitive IT measures your security uplift against SMB1001 because it is built for firms your size and gives you a certificate you can show. We map that work to Essential Eight maturity levels, and when a client, insurer or auditor asks for Essential Eight specifically, we can assess against it separately.

The Copilot Readiness Assessment I’d Run Before You Buy a Single Seat

We sell Microsoft licensing. So this is an awkward thing for me to write down, and I'm writing it anyway: if you buy Copilot seats this month and hand them out on Monday, you'll waste the money, and you might create a problem you didn't have. Not because the product's bad. It isn't. It's what happens in the fortnight before anyone types anything. What a Copilot licence actually does on day one Think about a ...

Do you need an AI governance framework?

Somewhere in your firm there's a document that says who can commit the firm to what. It might be called a delegation of authority schedule, or a signing matrix, or just "the approvals policy". It's been through the board. It says a senior associate can authorise up to a figure, that above another figure it needs two partners, and that certain things need you personally regardless of the amount. It's one of the oldest and ...

Someone Just Pasted a Client File Into ChatGPT

It's 4:40 on a Thursday. A senior associate has a client review at nine tomorrow. She's got eleven pages of file notes she hasn't read, and she's been sitting in other people's meetings since ten. She opens a browser tab, ChatGPT, the same one her nephew uses for his assignments. Select all, copy, paste. Then she types: "Summarise the key issues and flag anything that needs a decision." Four seconds later there's a clean one-page ...
