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.
