--- title: "Cyber Security Services for Perth Businesses | CCP" description: "Managed cyber security for Perth businesses: layered protection, 24/7 threat detection and response, and Essential Eight controls, managed by local engineers." url: "https://ccp.com.au/services/cybersecurity/" --- # Cyber security services in Perth ## Security in layers, so one mistake isn’t a breach. No single product stops every attack. We stack independent controls across people, email, identity, devices and backup. A specialist 24/7 security operations centre watches them, and our Perth team manages them. When one layer is bypassed, the next one holds. - **24/7** Threat detection and containment on every plan - **8 of 8** Essential Eight controls mapped to our layers - **0%** Offshored helpdesk or engineering Example stolen password Blocked Leaked password Flagged Password-only sign-in Blocked Unfamiliar country Blocked Follow-up with the user Done ## How managed cyber security protects you ### Defence in depth. Layered defence protects your business when one control fails. If an attack gets past one layer, the next layer can stop it. Phishing email Stolen password Ransomware Lost laptop Fake invoice Insider threat **A phishing email.** A staff member gets an email. The link opens a fake Microsoft sign-in page. External threat ### A phishing email A staff member gets an email. The link opens a fake Microsoft sign-in page. ## Essential Eight controls and maturity levels ### The Australian baseline, built in. The Essential Eight is the Australian Signals Directorate’s (ASD) baseline set of mitigation strategies. We assess your current maturity, agree a realistic target and keep the evidence up to date. Most small and medium businesses don’t need Maturity Level Three. We’ll tell you what your clients, insurer and regulator actually expect. ![A hardware security key plugged into a laptop on an office desk, with a phone beside it showing a sign-in approval prompt.](https://ccp.com.au/_astro/feature.BVTtGM3Q_1krSAJ.webp) - 01 · Devices #### Application control [How it works](https://ccp.com.au/essential-eight/application-control/) - 02 · Devices #### Patch applications [How it works](https://ccp.com.au/essential-eight/patch-applications/) - 03 · Devices #### Office macro settings [How it works](https://ccp.com.au/essential-eight/configure-office-macros/) - 04 · Email & web #### User application hardening [How it works](https://ccp.com.au/essential-eight/user-application-hardening/) - 05 · Identity #### Restrict admin privileges [How it works](https://ccp.com.au/essential-eight/restrict-administrative-privileges/) - 06 · Devices #### Patch operating systems [How it works](https://ccp.com.au/essential-eight/patch-operating-systems/) - 07 · Identity #### Multi-factor authentication [How it works](https://ccp.com.au/essential-eight/multi-factor-authentication/) - 08 · Backup #### Regular backups [How it works](https://ccp.com.au/essential-eight/regular-backups/) ## Cyber incident response and recovery ### If something gets through, it’s contained fast. We handle the rest. A specialist 24/7 security operations centre watches around the clock and contains confirmed threats. From there, our Perth team takes over: fixing, restoring, explaining and reporting. - Security operations centre · 24/7 #### Detect & triage Security analysts review alerts from your devices and Microsoft 365 around the clock, and separate real threats from noise. - Security operations centre · 24/7 #### Contain A confirmed threat is isolated straight away. The device is cut off from the network or the account is locked, and we’re notified. - CCP · Perth #### Remediate & recover Our engineers clean up, restore from backup and get staff working again, on-site if needed. - CCP · Perth #### Explain & report A plain-English timeline for you and your insurer, and help with any Notifiable Data Breach assessment. ## What clients say about our cyber security ### Protection clients notice. > “Very knowledgeable about even the more obscure hazards that our computers are exposed to, and very helpful on how to best protect ourselves from attack both without and within.” **Alex Zilkens** · Google review > “With their system set up to constantly monitor our office PCs, any issues are found and sorted before they even become an issue.” **Richard Scholes** · Google review ## Cyber security questions ### Straight answers. Or skip the reading: call [(08) 9467 2269](tel:+61894672269) and ask an engineer. ### We already have antivirus. Isn’t that enough? Antivirus covers part of one layer. Most attacks on professional firms start with a phished password or a fake email, which antivirus never sees. ### Is security included in managed IT, or extra? The core layers come with every managed IT plan. They are endpoint detection and response, identity threat detection and 24/7 security operations centre response. DNS filtering, backups and a password manager are included too. Security awareness training, application control, vulnerability scanning and centralised logging come with the + Compliance and Complete plans. See the [pricing page](https://ccp.com.au/pricing/) for what each plan includes. ### Who watches for threats overnight? A specialist 24/7 security operations centre. When a threat is confirmed, it isolates the device or account straight away. Our Perth engineers handle the clean-up, recovery and follow-up. ### Will this slow my staff down? Done well, barely. Multi-factor authentication asks for a second check mainly when a sign-in looks unusual, and most controls work in the background. ### Which Essential Eight maturity level should we aim for? For most professional firms, Maturity Level One or Two is a realistic, defensible target. We recommend a level based on what your clients, insurer and regulator expect. Our [Essential Eight guide](https://ccp.com.au/essential-eight/) explains the controls and levels.
