Backups that get tested
Automated backups of machines, servers and Microsoft 365 - with restore checks, so you know they actually work.
Business security · Penrith & Western Sydney
Security handled by the same team that runs your IT.
Most IT companies bolt security on; most security companies can't touch your IT. We do both - network, backups, cameras and the cabling they hang off. One local team, one monthly bill.

What's in the managed security package
The unglamorous controls that stop real attacks - run continuously, with evidence, by the team that already knows your network.
MFA everywhere it matters
Multi-factor auth across email, remote access and anything holding money or data - the cheapest defence there is.
Patching on a schedule
Operating systems and apps updated methodically, closing the holes most attacks walk through.
Email & phishing protection
Filtering plus SPF, DKIM and DMARC, so criminals can't send email pretending to be you.
Endpoint protection
Modern, centrally managed protection on every computer - not a lapsed supermarket antivirus.
Staff awareness
Keeping your people sharp on what phishing and payment-fraud attempts actually look like.

The yardstick
The Essential Eight, in plain English.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre's eight controls block most real-world attacks - and most small businesses sit at level zero without knowing it. We use it as the yardstick: assess where you sit, show the gaps in plain English, fix what matters. No compliance theatre.

- Patch applicationsapps updated before holes get used
- Configure Office macrosblock the classic malware door
- User application hardeningbrowsers and apps locked down
- Restrict admin privilegesadmin rights only where needed
- Patch operating systemsWindows and macOS kept current
- Multi-factor authenticationa stolen password isn't enough
- Regular backupstested, restorable, offline-capable
Physical security
Cameras are network devices. That's our turf.
Every camera, intercom and access controller lives on a cable, a switch and a VLAN - exactly what we do all day. So we handle the physical side too, end to end.
CCTV
Every major brand, brand-certified - designed, installed and networked for your site.
MoreIntercom & access control
Who gets in, when, on what door - installed and managed.
MoreAutomation
Lighting, entry and equipment on one system, not five remotes.
MorePoint-to-point wireless
Solid links to the shed or building next door - no trench required.

Security cabling, done to the book
Glue IT is run by Graham Hand, who teaches cabling at TAFE NSW and wrote the McGraw-Hill textbook on it. For security work that means:
- Tamper-resistant cable runs, not staples and hope
- Dedicated CCTV VLANs, kept off the office network
- PoE budgets calculated, not guessed
- Terminated, tested and labelled - every run
Why one team
No gap between vendors to fall into.
With separate IT and security firms, every incident starts with an argument about whose problem it is. The team that runs your IT support, business internet and phones also runs your security - so root causes get found once, by people who see the whole system.
Business security - common questions
What does managed security cost for a small business?
It's a monthly amount with no lock-in, quoted in writing after a free security health check - the price depends on how many people and systems you're protecting.
Do I actually need the Essential Eight?
The Essential Eight is the Australian Cyber Security Centre's list of the eight controls that stop most real attacks. We use it as the yardstick - assess where you sit, then fix what matters for your size and risk.
Can you work with the security cameras we already have?
Usually - most modern CCTV is network gear on a cable, our home turf. We'll assess your setup and often take over, extend or upgrade it rather than rip it out.
What happens when a backup fails?
Monitoring and restore checks flag a failed job as routine work, so it's fixed before you need it - not discovered during a disaster.
Isn't my Microsoft 365 backed up automatically?
No - Microsoft keeps the service running, but deleted mailboxes, wiped files and ransomware-encrypted OneDrives are your problem after short retention windows. A separate 365 backup is one of the first things we put in place.
One local team for the lot
We already look after your tech - we can carry your internet too.
Glue IT is a telco as well as your IT team. Business internet and our nbn plans on the same bill, from the same people who answer the phone. Plans start at $68/mo with no lock-in.
