Sicarius · Beacon
Most Australian SMEs can't answer that question with evidence. Beacon changes that — continuous security monitoring, signed reports, and a clear posture score your directors can stand behind.
See what Beacon produces — sample reports
When a client sends you a security questionnaire, when your insurer asks about your controls, or when a breach forces you to explain what happened — the answer can't be "we think we're secure." It has to be documented, dated, and verifiable.
Most SMEs are running on assumption.
Beacon runs on evidence.
What Beacon does
Beacon monitors your business security posture across four domains — Defend, Detect, Respond, and Recover — and produces signed, evidenced reports your directors, clients, and insurers can rely on.
It works quietly in the background. No dashboards to check, no alerts to chase. When something needs your attention, Beacon tells you. When nothing does, it keeps watching. Every report is timestamped, cryptographically signed, and built to survive scrutiny.
Posture monitoring — continuous visibility across your security controls
Evidenced reporting — signed reports for insurers, regulators, and procurement panels
Director briefings — plain-English summaries written for business owners, not IT teams
Action plans — prioritised remediation guidance when gaps are found
"We were three weeks from a government tender deadline when the panel asked for a security compliance report. We had nothing. Sicarius had us producing a signed Proof Report within two weeks. We won the contract."
— Director, professional services firm, Melbourne
"Our PI insurer asked for documented evidence of our cyber controls at renewal. A year earlier we would have had nothing to send. This year we sent the Beacon Cyber Assurance Summary. The conversation took five minutes."
— Principal, legal firm, Sydney
"I assumed our IT provider had everything covered. Beacon showed me two things that weren't in place that I didn't know about. Both were fixed within the month. I now have a report I can show anyone."
— Business owner, 18 staff, Brisbane
How it works
Defend
Are you protected against known threats?
Patching, MFA, email filtering, endpoint protection — measured and evidenced from your actual environment. Not assumed. Confirmed.
Detect
Will you know when something happens?
Continuous monitoring across devices, accounts, credentials, and domains. The moment something surfaces — you know about it.
Respond
Can you act fast enough to limit the damage?
When something needs attention, Sicarius acts on your behalf. You are not handling this alone.
Recover
Can you get back to normal?
Backups, business continuity, and a permanent evidence record. Reviewed monthly by Sicarius. So when the question is asked, the answer is already documented.
Beacon works with your existing infrastructure
Built for Australian SMEs
Beacon was designed from the ground up for Australian businesses with between 1 and 200 people — where the director is accountable, the IT team is small or outsourced, and the regulatory environment is tightening every year.
Your data stays in Australia. Your reports are yours. You decide who sees them and when.
Pricing
No setup fees. No add-ons. No complicated formulas.
Every monitored device is covered — computers, servers, and mobiles all at the same rate. Continuous monitoring, monthly security reports, and Cyber Assurance Summaries on demand. Everything included in the one price.
Most businesses are up and running within 14 days.
Book a scoping call →No obligation. No sales process. Tell us how many devices and we'll confirm the total on the spot.
Beacon is purpose-built for SMEs. We've removed the complexity that makes enterprise security monitoring expensive. The cost is low because the model is efficient — not because the monitoring is limited.
For IT providers and MSPs
When a client asks their IT provider for evidence of their cyber controls — for an insurer, a tender, or a board meeting — the honest answer is usually "we don't have a document that answers that." Beacon changes that.
You remain their primary technology partner. Sicarius runs the platform and the reporting. Your relationship is preserved — and strengthened.
Named in the Proof Report as the Technical Coordinator responsible for the controls you manage.
20% of first-year subscription revenue for every client you refer to Beacon.
Sicarius runs the onboarding sessions. You show up as the expert who made it happen.
Connects to tools you've already deployed. No rip and replace. No conflict with existing managed services.
If a client's devices aren't covered by the right tools, we supply them. All included in the subscription — no add-ons, no separate licensing.
Common questions
Do I need technical knowledge to use Beacon?
No. Beacon is designed for business owners and directors. Your Security Lead and IT provider handle the technical setup.
What if I don't have an IT provider?
Sicarius can help identify one, or discuss acting as your Security Lead for you until you do find one.
How long does setup take?
The target is a fully operational platform with your first Cyber Assurance Summary within 14 days of starting.
Is my data stored in Australia?
Yes. All customer data is hosted in Australia.
What's the difference between Beacon and a penetration test?
A penetration test is a point-in-time assessment. Beacon is continuous monitoring. The two are complementary — and a strong posture score makes the pen test conversation easier too.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Monthly subscription, cancel any time.
