Cyber security is no longer just an IT issue. While many businesses invest in cyber security tools and services,
few have a recognised way to prove it.
SMB1001 (by CyberCert) is an official cyber security certification framework designed specifically for Australian SMB businesses, providing a practical pathway to assess, improve and demonstrate your cyber security standards.
As an authorised CyberCert partner, our team at Premier Technology Solutions helps businesses understand where they stand, identify opportunities for improvement and achieve certification with confidence.
Why Cyber Security Certification Matters
Most businesses today rely on cyber security systems and processes to protect their sensitive operations, customer information and reputation. But simply saying you “take cyber security seriously” is no longer enough.
More organisations now expect proof when:
- Tendering for contracts
- Working with government organisations
- Engaging with larger suppliers or enterprise customers
- Applying for or renewing insurance policies
- Managing sensitive customer or financial information
- Demonstrating strong business security and risk practices
Find out which SMB1001 certification level is right for your business.
What Sets SMB1001 cyber security accreditation?
SMB1001 provides a clear and practical pathway that helps organisations understand their cyber security requirements
and work towards recognised certification.
The framework uses five certification levels:
Bronze
Build foundational cyber security protections and essential business security practices.
Silver
Strengthen your business security standards with broader protections and stronger processes.
Gold
Implement more advanced security measures to support higher business requirements.
Platinum
Achieve higher-level certification with external validation of your security standards.
Diamond
Demonstrate advanced cyber security practices through ongoing independent assessment and verification.

Answers to Common Questions from
Business Owners and Decision-Makers
Here are some of the most common questions business owners and decision-makers ask before starting their SMB1001 certification journey.
How long does the SMB1001 cyber security assessment take?
The free online SMB1001 cyber security assessment (on this page) usually takes just a few minutes to complete. It asks a series of straightforward questions about your business and provides a recommended SMB1001 certification level based on your current profile and requirements.
Do I need to be a Premier Technology Solutions client to get SMB1001 accredited?
No. The assessment is available to any Australian business wanting to understand their cyber security position. If you need support after the assessment, Premier Technology Solutions can step in to help identify gaps, implement improvements and guide you through certification.
What if I don’t meet the requirements of the SMB1001 cyber security results?
That’s actually very common. The assessment simply identifies the certification level best suited to your business, but it doesn’t mean you already meet every requirement. At Premier Technology Solutions, we can then review your environment, identify what’s missing and create a practical roadmap to help close those gaps.
Which SMB1001 cyber security certification level should I aim for?
That depends on your business size, the type of data you manage and your risk exposure. The free SMB1001 assessment tool (on this page) is designed to recommend the most suitable level, whether that’s Bronze, Silver, Gold or beyond. Some Australian businesses may also choose to work towards a higher level over time as their needs evolve.
At Premier Technology Solutions, we can help you close all cyber security gaps to get the level of SMB1001 accreditation you want and need.
Is SMB1001 cyber security certification a one-time process?
Not entirely. While lower SMB1001 certification levels can be achieved through director attestation, maintaining your cyber security standards over time is important to keep your SMB1001 certification relevant and your digital protections effective. Higher SMB1001 certification levels may also require independent external review, which Premier Technology Solutions can help with.
Can I display my SMB1001 cyber security certification publicly?
Yes. Once certified, your SMB1001 certification can be used across your website, proposals, tenders and client-facing materials. In fact, Premier recommends this as it gives your business something tangible to show customers, suppliers and insurers instead of simply asking them to trust your cyber security standards.
Why would a business need any cyber security certification?
Cyber security certification provides independent proof that your organisation has implemented recognised cyber security standards and controls. It helps build trust with customers, suppliers, insurers and stakeholders while demonstrating your commitment to protecting business and customer information.
The SMB1001 cyber security framework is one that is recognised and hence offers extra credibility.
How do I get started with a SMB1001 cyber security accreditation?
Start by completing the free CyberCert assessment (on this page) to understand which certification level fits your business. From there, our cyber security team at Premier Technology Solutions helps you assess any gaps, implement what’s needed and support you through the path to SMB1001 certification.
Build trust through recognised cyber security certification
Cyber security certification is no longer just about technology. It’s about demonstrating trust, accountability and a commitment to protecting your organisation, your customers and your reputation.
Start with a free SMB1001 assessment to discover your recommended certification level and understand the practical steps required to achieve certification.
