SMB1001: How Huntress Maps to Each Tier
Huntress maps its managed security stack to SMB1001:2026, a five-tier certification built for small businesses.
SMB1001 is a tiered cybersecurity certification for small and midsize businesses, published by Dynamic Standards International, formerly Cyber Security Certification Australia. The current edition, SMB1001:2026, became certifiable on 1 January 2026 and uses Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond tiers across technology, access, backup, policy, and training controls. Bronze through Gold rely on a director's attestation, while Platinum and Diamond add independent verification, with CyberCert certifying against the standard. Huntress says lower-tier controls such as firewalls, patching, backups, and MFA largely sit with MSPs and Microsoft tooling, while its Managed SAT and Managed EDR provide training completion evidence and endpoint antivirus reporting.
