CyberCert

What CyberCert does

CyberCert Pty Ltd is an Australia-based, privately held SaaS company founded in 2022 that operates as the globally accredited Dynamic Standard Certifier (DSC) for the SMB1001 cybersecurity standard. The company provides a digital, on-demand certification platform that enables small and midsize businesses to achieve tiered cybersecurity certification (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond), each aligned with progressively deeper control sets (7 to 39 controls) and priced from US$95 to US$995 per entity per year, with Platinum and Diamond additionally incorporating external audit fees. The platform also encompasses SCAP™ for supply chain verification and integrates with major GRC platforms (Apollo Secure, Assuredly, 6Clicks, MyCISO, ISO365) and insurance partner workflows. Its headquarters are in Brisbane, Australia, and it has 11–50 employees.

The company's revenue model combines recurring annual subscriptions with one-time certification fees, monetized primarily through a self-serve portal supplemented by a channel network of Technical Support Specialists, Managed Service Providers (including Acronis and BarracudaONE partnerships), grant programs (Cyber Grants Alliance, Cyber Wardens), and GRC platform integrations. Customers include SMBs across verticals such as finance, healthcare, and retail; non-profit organizations; and supply chain stakeholders seeking third-party-verified cybersecurity posture. Pricing is designed to make certification financially accessible to organizations that find traditional enterprise audit frameworks cost-prohibitive, with Silver positioned as the cyber-insurable tier.

Strategically, CyberCert has pursued a partnership-led expansion model since late 2025, announcing channel alliances with Acronis (October 2025, Australian MSP delivery), Cyber Grants Alliance (January 2026, US SMB and non-profit grants), Cyber Wardens (Australian sponsored pathways), and BarracudaONE (May 2026, Australian compliance streamlining). The company is incorporated as CyberCert Pty Ltd (ACN 662 681 423), has no disclosed external investors, and operates across Oceania and North America, with stated global ambitions.
