Essential Eight Assessments

Implementing the Essential Eight is no walk in the park. You need a partner who you can trust to assess the design and implementation of the requirements.

What is this?

The Essential Eight.

A deceptively simple and catchy name, but below the surface is complicated to achieve.

Our Essential Eight Advisory services aim to help you understand your Essential Eight implementation requirements and how you can meet your desired Essential Eight Maturity Level.

The Essential Eight is recommended by ACSC as a starting point when implementing strategies to mitigate cyber security incidents. It’s important to note it is a starting point, as there are 37 strategies to mitigate cybersecurity incidents in total.

The ACSC has published a lot of resources around the Essential Eight. We’d be doing the mitigations a disservice by trying to paraphrase it here.

Why do I need this?

A few reasons on why you might need this:

  • Your customers require you to implement the Essential Eight before they can purchase your product or service.
  • You have a regulatory requirement to implement the Essential Eight.
  • You are worried by recent data breaches and you want to know what you should start with to improve your organisational security posture.

Regardless of what led you here, we are here to help.

Who is this for?

Organisations looking for assistance in verifying their Essential 8 implementation or require a nudge in the right direction on how to achieve it.

What does it involve?

A systematic assessment against each Essential Eight requirement for your desired maturity level. We will work with you to determine which components to prioritise for the assessment scope.

What will you get?

  • The Essential Eight Assessment Report using the ACSC template
  • A roadmap on how you can achieve your target maturity level
