Local Challenge: High-Rise Wi-Fi & NBN
Southport's skyline is defined by its residential and commercial high-rises. However, these concrete and steel structures are notorious for blocking Wi-Fi signals.
Our Solution: We install enterprise-grade mesh Wi-Fi systems (like Ubiquiti UniFi) that penetrate concrete walls, ensuring you get full-speed internet in every room—even on the 30th floor. We also troubleshoot FTTB (Fibre to the Building) connection dropouts common in older apartment complexes.

How We Helped a Southport Law Firm Pass Their Cyber Audit
When compliance is non-negotiable, you need an IT partner who understands the stakes.
The Situation
A mid-sized law firm on Scarborough Street in Southport was preparing for a cybersecurity audit required by their professional indemnity insurer. They'd received a list of 23 technical requirements — things like multi-factor authentication on all email accounts, encrypted file storage, and documented backup procedures — and had no idea where to start or whether their current systems met any of them.
With the audit deadline six weeks away, they called BCOM.
The BCOM Solution
We ran our Cybersecurity Health Check in the first week, mapping their existing setup against all 23 requirements. Of these, 14 were already met or partially met, and 9 needed action. We prioritised by risk, tackling the highest-severity gaps first: enabling MFA on all Microsoft 365 accounts, encrypting their document storage with BitLocker, and implementing automated daily backups to an offsite location.
We also provided written documentation of every control in place — exactly what their insurer needed to see. The firm passed their audit with no findings raised.
"We were completely overwhelmed by the audit requirements. BCOM took the entire thing off our plate, explained everything clearly, and had us compliant well before the deadline. They now handle all our IT — it's the best decision we made this year."
