27 Controls, All Passed: Skin Cancer Doctors Achieves SMB1001 Gold

Posted: July 9, 2026Category:

27 controls. Every single one — passed.

Skin Cancer Doctors (Whangārei & Kerikeri) has hit SMB1001 Gold — Level 3, the top tier of the small-business cyber standard now recognised across Australia & New Zealand.

Why this matters

A GP-led medical practice in Northland. Patient records, staff logins, backups, email — all sitting behind evidenced, independently-verified controls. Not a self-assessment tick box. Actual proof, for every one of the 27 requirements.

Massive credit to Christian & the team at Skin Cancer Doctors. This is what leadership on cyber looks like in a Northland small business.
