Sydekick

Sydekick is a SaaS platform designed to help micro, small, and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) build, manage, and maintain cyber resilience and governance programs. The platform targets organizations that lack dedicated security resources, enabling them to operationalize cybersecurity and privacy without requiring deep technical expertise. The platform includes several core components: Resilience Assessments, which provide a 15-minute evaluation of an organization's current security and privacy maturity along with a prioritized action plan; a Governance Framework module for managing and maintaining an ongoing security and privacy strategy; and a Compliance module that maps tasks to established frameworks such as ISO 27001 and the Australian Essential Eight. Progress Tracking allows organizations to monitor improvements over time, while Integrations support task streamlining and reporting workflows. Sydekick also offers a Privacy Readiness solution aimed at helping organizations operationalize data privacy practices within 30 days. The platform provides complete visibility into tasks, evidence, policies, activity logs, and audit records within a single interface. The company supports a partner network that includes MSSPs, consultants, and agencies, enabling them to deliver the platform to their own clients. Sydekick positions its offering as a cost-effective alternative to traditional cybersecurity consulting, focusing on continuous improvement rather than one-time assessments. The platform requires approximately 30 minutes per week from users to maintain an active security program.
