One-minute answer
Provides a comprehensive schedule of safety and health checks, cybersecurity checks, Indigenous business collaborations, mental health initiatives, and state-specific small business support events for NSW and NT in October.
Who this affects
Small and medium-sized businesses across Australia and self-employed individuals in NSW and NT.
Potential business impact
Can reduce hacking risks through cybersecurity multi-factor authentication and backup checks, and strengthen marketing, AI, and cash flow management capabilities by utilising free/low-cost seminars organised by state governments.
General matter to check
Check workplace safety and health systems and system security settings, and confirm the schedule of small business support events in the relevant state.
A discussion checklist for business security
Contributing to a survey is different from reviewing your security. Consider both payment handoffs and how work could recover after a disruption.
| Area | Question to consider |
|---|---|
| Invoices and payments | Who verifies changed bank details using a contact channel already known to the business? |
| Access | Who reviews business-account permissions and access for departing staff? |
| Recovery and support | Where would you find recovery procedures and support contacts if data or accounts became unavailable? |
