Free for your clients

Give your clients a free security check.

The SMB Cyber Gap Assessment is a no-obligation, 5 minute tool that scores a business against SMB1001 and the Essential Eight. It shows where the gaps are, what they mean in plain English, and what to fix first.

As a referral partner, sharing it is an easy way to start the conversation. Neither you nor your client needs any IT knowledge. Just a link. Real Bytes follows up with a free consultation, and you earn a referral fee on every client who becomes a Real Bytes client.

  • SMB1001

    CyberCert's tiered certification standard built for small and medium businesses, with five tiers from Bronze to Diamond. The assessment shows where a business sits and what it needs to move up.

Who we work with

Ideal referral partners.

Your clients need reliable IT. If you work with Australian businesses, you are already in a position to add real value. Do not see your industry? Get in touch anyway.

  • Accountants and bookkeepers

    Your clients trust your advice. Refer them for IT compliance, cloud accounting integrations and secure infrastructure.

  • Business brokers

    Businesses changing hands need IT audits, system handovers and continuity planning. We make transitions smooth.

  • Lawyers and legal firms

    Legal practices handle sensitive data and need strong security, compliance and disaster recovery.

  • Financial advisers

    Financial services clients need secure storage, compliant communication tools and evidence for regulators.

  • Commercial real estate

    Property managers and developers need building IT, physical security and connected site infrastructure.

  • Healthcare consultants

    Allied health and medical practices need secure patient data, telehealth and Privacy Act compliance.

  • Education consultants

    Schools and training organisations need device management, learning platform integration and education-ready support.

  • Insurance brokers

    Insurers increasingly ask for cyber risk evidence. Help clients meet policy requirements.

  • Supply chain and logistics

    Logistics businesses need ERP integration, fleet connectivity, warehouse IT and resilient operations support.

  • Government and NFP advisers

    Consultants working with government or community organisations can refer clients needing ISM or Essential Eight alignment.

  • HR and recruitment firms

    Growing teams need onboarding IT, Microsoft 365 setup and secure systems for staff.

  • Business coaches

    If you advise businesses on growth and efficiency, IT is always part of the conversation.

M&A and business brokers

IT that adds value, on the way in and out.

Whether your client is buying, selling or merging a business, IT, cyber risk and technology debt can make or break a deal.

  • Selling a business

    A business with modern, well-documented IT is easier to sell. We help vendors get buyer-ready.

    • IT health report for the data room
    • Cyber risk fixes before due diligence finds them
    • SMB1001 or Essential Eight evidence
    • Clean Microsoft 365 and cloud setup
    • Vendor and contract summary for handover
  • Buying a business

    IT due diligence protects buyers from inheriting hidden cyber risk and costly lock-in.

    • IT due diligence audit as a formal report
    • Cyber risk exposure report before settlement
    • Day-one transition plan
    • Licence and subscription audit
    • Post-acquisition IT integration and tenant moves

Questions

What partners ask.

Does it cost anything to become a partner?

No. There is no cost to join any of the three partnership models.

No. You make the introduction, or share the free gap assessment link. We handle the conversation, the consultation, onboarding and delivery.

How are referral fees paid?

Referral partners earn a fee on each referred business that becomes a Real Bytes client, paid promptly and transparently. We confirm the terms with you when you sign up, and Strategic Alliance partners get a formal referral agreement with defined terms.

Yes. White-label and co-branded options are available for MSPs and VARs, with access to our full service stack and partner pricing.
