YSYarra Secure

Builders & Trades

Cyber security for builders and trades businesses

Construction runs on invoices: progress claims, supplier accounts, subcontractor payments. That is exactly why payment redirection scams hit building businesses so hard — one fake 'updated bank details' email can redirect a six-figure progress payment.

The risks we see in your industry

  • Payment redirection scams on progress claims and supplier invoices
  • Email accounts compromised through reused passwords on site and in the office
  • Invoicing handled from phones and shared inboxes with no verification step
  • Job management platforms holding client details with default settings
  • No recovery plan when the office manager's account is locked or hijacked

How Yarra Secure helps

  • A payment-change verification SOP your office actually uses (verbal verification on a known number, every time)
  • Email and domain protection so your invoices are harder to fake
  • MFA on the accounts that move money
  • Short, practical training for office staff and supervisors
  • Simple policies that satisfy builders' insurers and head contractors

Common questions

We're not a tech business — is this overkill?

The focus is the opposite of overkill: a handful of controls around email, invoices, and the two or three accounts that matter. Most trades engagements centre on stopping payment redirection.

Can you train staff who aren't in the office?

Yes. Sessions run on video and are kept to 45–60 minutes, with a printable cheat sheet for the site shed and the office.
