The real question

The hard part isn’t the breach. It’s the question after it.

Breaches happen to careful, decent businesses every week; that part is close to inevitable. What decides how it goes is the question that always follows: “had you taken reasonable steps?” The Privacy Act often asks it. Directors’ duties ask it. Health records laws ask it. The GDPR asks it as “appropriate technical and organisational measures”. The businesses that answer well aren’t lucky; they prepared an answer before they needed one.

And “reasonable” doesn’t mean enterprise-grade. It means proportionate to a business your size, which is exactly what sector guidance, the legal profession’s guides among the first, points to.

Sector bodies are already pointing their members here. The QLS Privacy Program Starter Guide notes that most firms benefit from working towards SMB1001 certification. CyberCert is the accredited certifier.

What you’ll see

Your score across the three things that decide how it goes.

No control checklists and no audit questions. Just the day itself: what would you do, who helps you, and what could you show? We never publish or sell your answers. See our privacy policy. Your report names where you’re ready, where the day would cost you, and the plain-English reason each one matters.
