The CUSP program is specifically designed to help South Australian businesses with under 20 employees, or majority family-owned, take that first (or next step) with confidence.

They will expertly tailor the program to your specific needs, ensuring a perfect fit for your journey towards enhanced protection.

"Our experience with CUSP has been great. As a small for-purpose organisation, without dedicated cybersecurity resourcing, CUSP provides us with a cost-effective solution to provide training and awareness across the business on cyber risks. The program's comprehensive approach ensures that Siblings Australia is equipped to address this critical business area within our organisational capacity."
