A CyberCX alternative for Australian SMBs.
CyberCX is one of Australia's largest cybersecurity consultancies, built through a series of mergers to cover the full range of enterprise and government security services. That scale is the point for large organisations — it also means formal scoping calls, a proposal process, and an engagement sized for enterprise budgets before you get a fixed price. For an SMB that needs its email, servers and web exposure assessed and fixed, that process can be slower and more expensive than the problem requires.
Why businesses look for a CyberCX alternative.
- A formal scoping and proposal process before you see a price
- Engagement sizing and pricing built around enterprise budgets
- Account management and delivery layers between you and the engineers
- Longer lead times to get an assessment scheduled and delivered
- Overkill scope for a business that needs core exposure fixed, not a security program
Cybersecurity — managed by engineers, not a helpdesk.
Edos runs a fixed-scope path built for SMBs: a free 40+ check security scan, then a $2,500 Security Health Check covering email, website and server exposure with a prioritised fix list — and we do the remediation ourselves, not just the report. No proposal process, no long-term contract.

Local engineers. Australian hosting. No offshore handoffs.
Edos Solutions is based in Sydney. Every engineer is Australian, all infrastructure is hosted in Australian data centres, and when you contact us you reach the person who actually manages your environment — not a helpdesk that escalates to someone who escalates to someone else.
For Australian businesses with data sovereignty requirements, privacy obligations under the Australian Privacy Act, or compliance frameworks that specify local data handling — this matters from day one.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Edos a real alternative to a firm the size of CyberCX?
- For an SMB that needs its actual exposure assessed and fixed — not an enterprise-wide security program — yes. We're not pitching ourselves as a replacement for CyberCX on a large enterprise or government engagement; we're the right-sized option for a business that wants its email, website and server security properly audited and remediated without an enterprise procurement process.
- What does the Security Health Check actually cover?
- Email, website and server exposure, delivered as a plain-English report with every finding rated by severity and a prioritised fix list — fixed price at $2,500. If you need deeper testing, a separate penetration test is available from around $6,000, but most SMBs find the configuration issues the Health Check surfaces are the real risk, not something a pen test would add.
- Do you just report findings, or fix them too?
- We fix them. The Health Check is the audit; remediation — server and email hardening, patching, MFA, web security headers, firewall/WAF configuration, incident response — is the engagement that follows if you want us to close the gaps. Plenty of firms hand over a report and stop there. We don't.
- Can you help with Essential Eight or compliance requirements?
- Yes. We assess your maturity against all eight ASD controls, tell you the gap to whatever level a tender, insurer or regulator requires, and remediate the controls that fall short.
