SMB1001

What Is SMB1001?

Cybersecurity doesn’t need to be complex or costly. At Business IT, we understand the challenges small and medium-sized businesses face — tight budgets, limited time, and confusing standards. SMB1001 is a tiered cybersecurity framework designed specifically for New Zealand SMBs, created and maintained by Dynamic Standards International (DSI). It’s practical, scalable, and aligned with real-world business needs.

Three parties are involved in getting a business certified: DSI sets the standard itself; Business IT, as a Cybercert Partner, implements the controls and prepares your environment to meet it; and Cybercert, as the independent certifying body, issues the certification once your business has attested that the framework is in place. That independence is a feature, not friction — certification carries more weight with clients, insurers, and partners when it’s issued by someone other than the provider who did the implementation work.
