Cyber uplift meets AML record reality

AML/CTF programmes require you to collect, store, and retain sensitive client information for the statutory periods that apply to each record class. If those records live on poorly patched workstations, shared inboxes, or unknown cloud folders, a single cyber incident can become both a privacy breach and a compliance gap.

Mr Cybersafe combines financial-crime readiness with pragmatic SMB 1001–style cyber hygiene so regional firms can show insurers and boards they treated the problem as one story—not two unrelated projects.

SMB 1001 tiers (overview)

• Bronze — baseline essential controls; director self-attested where used with CyberCert.
• Silver — broader control set; commonly treated as a sensible minimum for many small businesses.
• Gold / Platinum / Diamond — deeper tooling, monitoring, and independent pathways for higher consequence environments.

Indicative CyberCert-attested pricing for SMB tiers is published in market materials (often circa $95–$195/yr for Bronze/Silver class offerings—confirm current partner pricing). Programme build and AML consulting are separately scoped fixed fees.

What “good” looks like

Controls that survive a real Monday

Identity & records

• Clear rules for where CDD artefacts live, who can access them, and how backups are tested.
• Minimise unnecessary ID images; keep enough to demonstrate verification to a reviewer.
• Segment admin / client / personal use on endpoints handling trust or conveyancing data.

Detection & response

• Patching rhythm, supported OS baseline, and an incident triage line (who to call first).
• Email authentication (e.g. DMARC journey) and phishing rehearsal for high-risk roles.
• Optional paths toward EDR and supplier inventories as risk warrants.

Partners

Cyber attestations and SMB 1001:2026-aligned certification flows are often delivered with CyberCert partner tooling (partners.cybercert.ai). We stay vendor-neutral on stack choices—our job is defensible evidence and board-ready language.
