The Solution: Strengthening People, Process and Technology

TARDISS worked with ADITS to implement CyberShield as a structured cyber security uplift across people, process, and technology. The program strengthened core security layers, introduced 24/7 threat monitoring, improved access and password management, and supported staff with ongoing cyber security awareness training.

  • strengthening AV, EDR, firewall protections, patching and updates

  • introducing 24/7 threat monitoring and maintenance

  • delivering cyber security awareness training with HRM compliance tracking

  • improving identity, access and password management

  • reinforcing backup, recovery and OAIC breach notification procedures

  • aligning the uplift to SMB1001:2025 Silver for staged security maturity

The Results: The Results: A Safer, Smarter, More Defensible Organisation

TARDISS achieved a Silver level security posture, with stronger controls across devices, identities and data, reducing exposure to common threats like phishing and ransomware. With standardised access practices, 24/7 monitoring, documented procedures and ongoing staff training in place, TARDISS gained greater confidence, reduced user driven risk, and improved its ability to demonstrate reasonable steps under NDIS and Privacy Act expectations.

ADITS

Don’t wait for a breach to validate investment. For organisations handling sensitive data and operating under strict safeguards, start with a structured baseline that blends people, process, and technology, and choose a framework, like SMB1001 Silver, that’s practical, certifiable, and achievable for real‑world teams.
