Common problems we fix
The risks and tech headaches that actually hurt small businesses
Invoice fraud & payment redirection
One convincing 'updated bank details' email can redirect a client payment. We put verification steps and email protections in place so it's caught before money moves.

Email account takeover
A compromised mailbox starts most small-business incidents. MFA, admin cleanup, and forwarding-rule checks shut the common doors.

Website security gaps
Outdated plugins, exposed admin pages, and forms that quietly fail. We review the baseline and give your developer a clear fix list.

Tech that was never set up properly
Default passwords, no backups, monitors that flicker, email on a personal Gmail. We set up small-business tech securely from day one.

Staff security habits
Most scams succeed through a busy person acting in good faith. Short, practical training changes the habits that matter.

FAQ
Straight answers before work starts
Do you perform testing without permission?
No. Technical checks beyond publicly visible information are only performed with written authorisation and a defined scope. If a system is not yours or is not approved in writing, it is not tested.
Are you a penetration testing or compliance firm?
No. Yarra Secure delivers practical security reviews, implementation sprints, training, and policies for small businesses. Where penetration testing or formal compliance certification is needed, we help you scope it and refer you to appropriate specialists.
Can you guarantee we won't be hacked?
No one can honestly guarantee that, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. The goal is practical risk reduction: closing the common gaps that cause most small-business incidents, and being prepared if something still goes wrong.
Do you work outside Melbourne?
Yes. Yarra Secure is based in Melbourne CBD and works with small businesses Australia wide. Most reviews, sprints, and training sessions are delivered remotely, with in-person options around Melbourne.
Do prices include GST?
Prices on this site are shown in AUD and exclude GST. Yarra Secure is registered for GST, so 10% GST is added to your written quote and itemised on your tax invoice. Your quote always states the exact total payable.
