Cybersecurity Packages: Self-Managed vs Managed Options for WA
Deciding how to protect your business from cyber threats is a key part of keeping operations running smoothly. This post explains what is included in Wolfe Systems’ Cybersecurity Packages, how each option works day to day, and which package may suit different types of Western Australian businesses.
What Are Wolfe Systems’ Cybersecurity Packages?
Wolfe Systems, based in Bibra Lake, offers three Cybersecurity Packages for small and medium businesses across WA. The Gold package is self-managed, while Platinum and Enterprise are managed services. All packages come with no lock-in contracts, so businesses can adapt their approach as needs change.
- Gold (Self-managed): Cybersecurity health check, an online training course, and data breach alerts.
- Platinum (Managed): Everything in Gold, plus targeted training campaigns.
- Enterprise (Managed): Everything in Platinum, plus targeted phishing campaigns and monthly reports.
Each package is designed to address different levels of internal IT capability and appetite for hands-on management. The focus is on flexibility, clarity and practical protection.
What Is Included in Each Package?
The Cybersecurity Packages are structured to give WA businesses a choice between self-managing their cyber defences or handing over the day-to-day management to Wolfe’s specialists. Here’s what each package covers:
Gold: Self-Managed Essentials
- Cybersecurity health check: A detailed review of your current IT security, highlighting risks and opportunities for improvement.
- Online training course: Self-paced training for your team, helping staff understand common cyber threats and best practices.
- Data breach alerts: Early warnings if your business data appears in known breaches, so you can act quickly.
The Gold package is best for businesses with in-house IT or a tech-savvy team that prefers to keep control over their own security progress, but still wants expert input and monitoring for major breaches.
Platinum: Managed Training and Support
- Includes all Gold features
- Targeted training campaigns: Ongoing, managed security awareness campaigns tailored to your business and staff roles, delivered by Wolfe’s team.
Platinum suits businesses that want to step up their defence with managed staff training, but do not have the time or knowledge to run campaigns themselves. Wolfe handles the setup and monitoring, ensuring your team remains alert to evolving threats.
Enterprise: Complete Managed Security
- Includes all Platinum features
- Targeted phishing campaigns: Simulated phishing attacks to test and improve your staff’s ability to spot and report suspicious emails.
- Monthly reports: Regular updates outlining your security status, training progress and areas to address.
Enterprise is aimed at organisations that want a fully managed approach, with regular insights and testing to stay ahead of threats. This level provides the most comprehensive progress and reporting, easing the burden on internal staff.
Additional Security Features Across All Packages
Beyond the package-specific features, Wolfe Systems’ cybersecurity services also include unified threat management, secure password management, cloud backup, and 24/7/365 monitoring. These capabilities help ensure that your business is protected around the clock and that data is recoverable if something does go wrong.
How the Packages Fit Different IT Setups
WA businesses tend to fall into one of three categories:
- No real IT partner: If you have no dedicated IT support, the Gold package gives you a starting point to understand your risks and train your team. If you need more hands-on help, Platinum or Enterprise can fill the gap with managed campaigns and ongoing progress.
- A generalist provider with no roadmap: If your current IT provider is reactive or lacks a clear security plan, Wolfe’s managed packages (Platinum or Enterprise) offer structured, ongoing protection and reporting. This brings clarity and a defined path to improved security.
- In-house IT wanting a specialist partner: Internal IT teams can use the Gold package to supplement their efforts, or choose managed options for advanced training and phishing simulation. Wolfe can act as a specialist extension, providing expertise and tools that may be outside the day-to-day remit of your staff.
In each scenario, Wolfe’s no lock-in approach means you can start with the level of progress that matches your current needs, and adjust as your business evolves.
Day-to-Day Operation: What to Expect
With the Gold package, your business receives the tools and guidance to self-manage key cyber risks. You run the training and respond to alerts as needed, with Wolfe’s health check providing a baseline and ongoing direction.
For managed packages, Wolfe’s team takes care of rolling out training, running campaigns, and monitoring results. Your staff receive communications and exercises on a regular schedule, and you receive reports with clear actions and recommendations. The managed approach means less time spent on admin and more confidence that security is being handled proactively.
Who Are These Packages For?
Small and medium WA businesses looking for flexibility in their cybersecurity approach will find a fit with one of Wolfe’s packages. Whether you want to keep control in-house or prefer to hand over the ongoing management to a team of Perth-based specialists, there is an option that matches your resources and risk profile.
Wolfe Systems has been supporting local businesses since 2015, providing managed IT, cloud and hosting, security, and more. The goal is to make enterprise-level cybersecurity accessible to businesses of all sizes, without the need for long-term contracts or unnecessary complexity.
Next Steps: Independent Technology Audit
If you are unsure which cybersecurity package is right for your business, Wolfe Systems offers a Technology Audit. This independent review gives you a plain English report on your current risks, gaps and opportunities. You keep the plan and can use it with your existing IT provider if you choose not to proceed with Wolfe. If you do partner with Wolfe for managed IT after the audit, the audit fee is credited back. Book your audit to get a clear view of your security position and the best next steps for your business.
