Cloud Security for
Brisbane Small Business
SecureLoop is a Brisbane-based cloud security consultancy working exclusively with small and medium businesses. We harden Microsoft 365 environments, secure Azure infrastructure, and implement the ACSC Essential Eight — at fixed prices with no hourly surprises.
The reality
Why Brisbane businesses are a target
Queensland small businesses are increasingly targeted by cyber attacks precisely because they are perceived as lower-security than enterprise targets. The Australian Signals Directorate confirms that small business remains the most frequently compromised sector — not because attackers prefer them, but because defences are typically weakest.
A misconfigured Microsoft 365 tenant, legacy authentication enabled, or admin accounts without MFA are entry points that attackers can exploit in minutes. The median cost of a cyber incident for an Australian SME now exceeds $46,000 — not counting reputational damage, client notification obligations under the Privacy Act, or the operational disruption of recovery.
The good news is that the ACSC Essential Eight — implemented properly — closes the majority of the attack surface at a fraction of the cost of recovering from an incident.
What we do
What we do for Brisbane businesses
Essential Eight Assessment
Formal gap analysis against the ACSC Essential Eight — the Australian government's recommended security baseline. Maturity level assessment with a prioritised remediation roadmap written in plain English.
Microsoft 365 Hardening
MFA enforcement, conditional access policies, legacy authentication blocking, external sharing restrictions in SharePoint, admin account protection, and secure email configuration — all remediated in a single engagement.
Azure Security Audit
Subscription configuration review, identity and access management cleanup, network security groups, storage account lockdown, and logging configuration. A prioritised remediation list — not a 200-page report written for a CISO.
Cloud Security Consultation
A structured conversation about your current environment, your biggest exposures, and what to fix first — with a written summary and recommended next steps. The right starting point if you're not sure where to begin.
Pricing
Fixed prices — no hourly surprises
Every SecureLoop engagement is quoted at a fixed price before work begins. No hourly rates. No retainers you don't need. No scope creep invoices.
Service area
Brisbane-based, available across Queensland
Our primary service area covers Greater Brisbane — including the CBD, Fortitude Valley, Newstead, South Brisbane, and surrounding suburbs. We work with businesses across the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Ipswich, and regional Queensland via remote engagement, with in-person sessions available for Brisbane clients.
We understand the Queensland business environment, including the specific compliance requirements facing Queensland health, education, and local government contractors, and the practical constraints of running security on a small business budget.
Common questions
Do I need to be in Brisbane to work with SecureLoop?
No. While we are based in Brisbane, we work with businesses across all of Australia remotely. Brisbane clients also have the option of in-person sessions.
How long does an M365 security hardening take?
Most Microsoft 365 hardening engagements are completed in 3–5 business days. We work within your environment remotely — no disruption to your team's day-to-day operations.
What is the Essential Eight and do I need it?
The ACSC Essential Eight is the Australian Signals Directorate's recommended baseline for cyber security. It covers patch management, application control, MFA, and five other controls. If you work with government, hold cyber insurance, or want a recognised framework, it's the right starting point for most Australian SMBs.
What size businesses do you work with?
We work with businesses from 5 to 200 staff. Our sweet spot is the 10–50 staff range — large enough to have real security risks, small enough that enterprise vendors won't give you the time of day.
Do you handle implementation, or just auditing?
Both. We can audit and hand off a remediation plan to your existing IT team, or we can implement the fixes ourselves. Your choice at the start of the engagement — no lock-in.
Find out where your biggest risk actually is
30 minutes. No sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about where you are, what's exposed, and what's worth fixing first.
