SMB1001 - Tier 4 (Platinum)

Proactive Security & Assurance

Platinum is the next evolution beyond Gold, adding proactive risk management and assurance measures on top of the enterprise-grade baseline. This tier aligns with SMB1001:2025 Platinum (Level 4) requirements, which extend into areas of regular vulnerability scanning, comprehensive multifactor coverage, and risk transfer through insurance.

Service Description

The Platinum package is designed for organisations that not only want top-notch internal security, but also need to continuously validate their defences and cover any remaining gaps through external support (like insurance and third-party oversight)

The Platinum tier includes all Gold features and then incorporates additional controls to meet Level 4 standards, focusing on proactive security management and external assurance: Regular Vulnerability Scanning & Penetration Testing (External): We conduct regular scans of all public-facing systems to identify vulnerabilities (fulfilling control 1.7.0.0). This includes scheduled monthly external vulnerability scans of your websites, VPN gateways, cloud endpoints, etc. using enterprise-grade scanning tools. Any findings (open ports, outdated software, misconfigurations) are promptly remediated by our team in coordination with your IT staff. Essentially, we “attack” your systems before real attackers can, closing weaknesses proactively. Additionally, Platinum offers annual light penetration testing services – ethical hackers will attempt to breach your perimeter and report back any weaknesses. This exceeds the requirement for regular scanning and provides an extra layer of assurance that critical exposures are found and fixed.
