A Tesserent alternative for Australian SMBs.
Tesserent operates as a national cybersecurity provider covering a wide range of services from governance advisory through to managed security operations, built through acquiring a number of specialist firms into one group. That national, multi-practice structure serves large organisations well. For an SMB, it usually means being one client among a large and varied portfolio, routed to whichever practice area matches your enquiry, rather than a single team that owns your problem end to end.
Why businesses look for a Tesserent alternative.
- Routed to a specific practice area within a large multi-service group
- Engagement structure built for large organisations across many industries
- Less continuity — different specialists for different parts of the work
- Proposal and scoping process before a price is set
- Scale that suits national/enterprise clients more than a single SMB
Cybersecurity — managed by engineers, not a helpdesk.
One team, start to finish: the free scan, the $2,500 Security Health Check, and the remediation that follows are all handled by the same Edos engineers. No hand-offs between practice areas, no separate teams to coordinate.
- Large multi-practice group — routed to the relevant specialist team
- Engagement structure built for national/enterprise clients
- Different teams for advisory, assessment and remediation
- Proposal process before pricing
- Broad service catalogue, not SMB-specific
- One team owns the engagement end to end
- Right-sized for a single SMB, not a national account
- Same engineers do the audit and the remediation
- Fixed $2,500 for the Health Check, price known up front
- Focused specifically on SMB-relevant exposure
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
- Will we deal with one team or get passed between departments?
- One team. The engineer who runs your Security Health Check is the same one who can carry out the remediation afterward — no hand-off to a different practice area or a different set of specialists partway through.
- We're a small business — will we be a priority, or a small account in a large portfolio?
- We run a deliberately small client roster and don't tier service by account size. Every client gets the same attention, and there's no queue behind larger enterprise or national engagements.
- Can you handle both the assessment and the fix?
- Yes. The Security 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, carried out by the same team.
- What does the engagement actually cost?
- A free 40+ check scan to start, then a fixed $2,500 for the full Security Health Check across email, website and server exposure. Remediation is scoped and quoted separately once the audit findings are known.
