What is SMB1001?

Enhanced measures
that strengthen your security posture and demonstrate proactive risk management.

Cybersecurity doesn’t need to be complex or costly. At Business IT, we understand the unique challenges small and medium-sized businesses face—tight budgets, limited time, and confusing standards.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Dynamic Standards International to bring you SMB1001:
A tiered cybersecurity framework designed specifically for New Zealand SMBs. It’s practical, scalable, and aligned with real-world business needs.
