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.
Open the free assessment - Essential Eight
ASD's eight mitigation strategies, the baseline most Australian government agencies work to and many insurers and enterprise customers now ask about.

- 2. They complete itAbout 5 minutes, no technical knowledge needed. It scores them against SMB1001 and the Essential Eight.

Questions
What partners ask.

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