About
Free cybersecurity tools built for Australian businesses.
CyberPosture is a suite of four independent assessment tools covering the frameworks Australian businesses are most commonly assessed against, government compliance, international controls, privacy law, and cyber insurance readiness.
Why we built this
Most Australian SMBs face the same situation: their insurance broker asks about Essential Eight controls, their biggest client sends a vendor security questionnaire referencing CIS Controls, and the Privacy Act reforms are quietly coming into effect, all at once.
The tools that exist to help are either enterprise GRC platforms costing thousands per year, or US-built checklists that don’t reflect Australian law or the ACSC’s specific guidance. There was nothing free, fast, and genuinely built for an Australian IT manager trying to understand where their business stands.
So we built it. Four assessments, no account required, results emailed to you.
How we operate
Privacy-first
The free assessment runs in your browser. Your answers are not stored on our servers unless you explicitly submit them for an email result or paid document. We use privacy-friendly, aggregate website analytics.
Built for Australia
Every framework, every question, and every recommendation is written in the context of Australian law, the ACSC, and AU insurers, not repurposed from US-centric tools.
Independent
We have no affiliation with the Australian Government, ACSC, OAIC, or any insurer. We don't sell your data. If you choose, our partner Cyber83 can help you close the gaps.
For SMBs, by practitioners
Built for the IT manager at a 50-person business who doesn't have a dedicated security team, not for enterprise GRC departments with six-figure tool budgets.
