Cyber crime is on the rise
- 80% of hacking-related breaches leveraged either
stolen passwords and/or weak or guessable passwords - 85% of businesses with <1000 employees have been hacked, and most don’t even know
- 4.2 BILLION email account credentials and 85 MILLION stolen PII records (drivers license, SSN, DOB, etc.) for sale on the Dark Web
Small business at great risk
“…data stolen from businesses ends up on the dark web where criminals buy and sell it to commit fraud, get fake identity documents, or fund their criminal organizations.”
“…information available for sale on the dark web is up to 20 times more likely to come from an entity whose breach wasn’t reported in the media. Many of these are smaller retailers, restaurant chains, medical practices, school districts, etc. In fact, most of the breaches the U.S. Secret Service investigates involve small businesses.”

Which is right for my organisation?
We generally recommend Microsoft 365 over Office 365 because it can essentially run your entire IT platform in the cloud. However, if you operate a non-windows environment or do not need any of the security and management features of Microsoft 365, an Office 365 plan could be perfect.
We will always recommend the option that best suits your needs, so contact us if you would like to discuss your requirements.
How much will it cost?
The cost of your plan will be determined by your requirements, which we can help you define. Microsoft also operates a generous non-profit pricing scheme for most of their products.
Office 365 plans start from as low as $6.40 ex GST per user month, or free for registered not-for-profit organisations.
Microsoft 365 plans start from $25.50 ex GST per user per month.
