IT compliance and risk management: know where you stand, and be ready when someone asks.
We get you to ISO 27001, the Essential Eight or the Privacy Act, and keep you audit-ready for when a client or an insurer asks.
What is IT compliance for Australian businesses?
IT compliance means being able to prove your business meets a recognised cybersecurity standard when a client, an insurer or a government contract asks, and for most Australian businesses that standard is the Essential Eight or SMB1001. FusionRed maps your systems, processes and policies against the ones that apply to you, finds the gaps and helps you close them, so you can prove you are secure rather than say so.

Common questions
It's eight cybersecurity measures recommended by the Australian Cyber Security Centre to protect against the most common attacks. It isn't mandatory for every business, but more clients, insurers, and government contracts now expect it. We can show you where you stand in plain English.
Increasingly, yes. Even if regulation doesn't require it, your clients and insurers often do, and a contract can hinge on it. Getting ahead of it protects revenue, not just data.
Compliance is a date, not a state.
Standards get revised and your systems change underneath them, so evidence that was true in March is not automatically true in September.
Quarterly FusionSecure Pulse Check
We re-test your controls against the current version of the standard, not the one you were certified on.
Monthly FusionCare sessions
Somewhere to bring the security questionnaire that just landed from a client.
Technology roadmapping
Work sequenced so you are ready before the audit date, not during it.
Secure your position before someone asks.
