Australian Team

TechAssist has supported hundreds of Australian SMEs across construction, manufacturing, logistics, law firms, mining, and professional services. Compliance is what your insurer, your customer, or your regulator now asks for. We deliver the actual controls — and the documentation that proves they work.

Most SMEs do not need a six-month consulting engagement to be compliant — they need a practical implementation team that knows the frameworks, runs the controls, and documents the evidence. Our compliance work pairs the right framework to your business, then puts the controls in place using the same engineers who run your IT.

How Our Compliance Work Runs

Three stages. One team. Practical implementation, not just paperwork.

01

Gap Assessment

We measure your current state against the framework you need to meet — ISO 27001, SOC 2, Essential Eight, PCI-DSS, or cyber insurance requirements. Plain-English gap report with prioritised actions.

02

Implementation

Controls deployed, policies written, evidence captured. We do the technical work — MFA, EDR, patching, access controls, backups, logging — using the same engineers who run your environment.

03

Audit & Evidence

Annual audit support. Documentation maintained. Evidence packages prepared for insurers, customers, or external auditors on demand.

Implementation, Not Just a Compliance Project

Most compliance consulting engagements end with a 100-page report and a recommendation list. The client then has to find another vendor to actually implement the controls. That is where compliance projects die.

Our model is different: the same team does the assessment, the implementation, and the ongoing evidence collection. There is no handoff. The documentation matches the reality of your environment because we built that environment.

Implementation, Not Just a Compliance Project

Cyber Insurance Renewals Just Got Harder

Cyber insurance carriers are now declining or pricing-out businesses that cannot show MFA on all admin accounts, EDR on every endpoint, tested backups, and a documented incident response process. Renewal questionnaires are getting longer every year.

We map your environment to the insurer questionnaire, identify the gaps, and remediate. Most clients renew at the same or lower premium because they can actually answer Yes to the questions.
