What is SMB1001?

SMB1001, created by Dynamic Standards International (DSI), is a flexible five-level cyber security framework specifically designed for small and medium businesses.

Instead of an impractical one-size-fits-all approach, you can jump in at the tier that fits your current setup and progress at your own pace.

The Five Tiers

  • LEVEL 01

    Bronze

    Covers baseline defenses like firewalls, automated antivirus, and MFA to block everyday opportunistic threats.

  • LEVEL 02

    Silver

    Adds layered, advanced protections against targeted phishing, credential theft, and sophisticated attacks.

  • LEVEL 03

    Gold

    Expands to full risk management across people, processes, and technology, including proactive response planning.

  • LEVEL 04

    Platinum

    Enforces advanced governance, formal security policies, continuous monitoring, and audited controls.

  • LEVEL 05

    Diamond

    Highest maturity level requiring continuous audit framework and rigorous ongoing verification.

Why Get Certified?

Assuming your IT support has everything under control is a risky gamble. Getting certified replaces guesswork with real, verified security you can show off with confidence.

  • Trust & Reputation

    Win More Business & Trust

    Certification lets you prove your cyber readiness with hard evidence, giving your clients and corporate enterprise partners solid proof that their sensitive data is in safe hands.

  • Risk Mitigation

    Make Insurance a Breeze

    Insurers love proof, not promises. Clear evidence of your posture makes getting covered easier, cheaper, and hassle-free if your organisation ever needs to make a claim.

  • Governance & Compliance

    Stay Ahead of Compliance

    Cyber Security laws and strict supply-chain vendor questionnaires are quickly becoming mandatory. Certification gives you recognised, official proof that satisfies current rules and upcoming legal shifts.

  • Essential Hygiene

    Fix the Easy Traps

    Most cyberattacks exploit trivial mistakes like weak passwords, unpatched apps, and skipped updates. SMB1001 shuts down those obvious open doors rapidly.
