Protecting a Leading Marine and Industrial Business from Cyber Threats
Discover how Netcomp helped Seamech, a family-owned business supporting the marine and industrial sectors, strengthen their cyber security defences and ensure the integrity of their operations.
About the Business
Seamech, an award-winning Australian family-owned company, has proudly served the Queensland marine and industrial sectors for over 20 years.
As the authorised Volvo Penta and Kohler Marine distributor for the state, they use a state-wide dealer network to meet the diverse needs of Commercial, OEM, Trade, and Leisure customers.
Challenges
As Seamech’s business grew, so did their reliance on technology.
However, they recognised the importance of cyber security and were concerned about the potential risks and threats to their systems and data.
They needed a comprehensive solution to protect their IT infrastructure and ensure compliance with industry standards.
Solutions
Netcomp worked closely with Seamech to implement the Essential 8 cyber security framework, a proven approach to reducing the risk of cyber-attacks.
We conducted a thorough security assessment, identifying vulnerabilities and implementing measures to prevent and detect potential threats.
Our solution included:
- Implementing the Essential 8 controls, including application whitelisting, patching, and configuring Microsoft Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection
- Conducting regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities
- Providing training and awareness programs for Seamech’s staff to educate them on cyber security best practices
Summary
It’s all about peace of mind, isn’t it?
Netcomp’s cyber security experts helped Seamech tackle those ever-changing online threats.
By implementing the Essential 8, Seamech can now concentrate on their business, confident that their IT systems are well-protected.

By partnering with Netcomp, a local IT provider, Seamech achieved significant benefits, including:
- Stronger cyber security, minimising the risk of attacks and data breaches
- Better compliance with industry regulations
