ACSC-aligned assessments, maturity scoring and practical remediation. Get a clear roadmap from where you are today to ML1, ML2 or ML3.
Why it matters
A practical security baseline, not a checkbox
The Essential Eight is the Australian government's recommended baseline for cyber security. We assess your environment against each strategy, score your maturity and build a remediation plan that fits your risk, budget and timeline.
- ACSC-aligned assessment and scoring
- Clear gap report with risk ratings
- Prioritised remediation roadmap
- Evidence pack for insurers and auditors
- Ongoing monitoring and maturity tracking
The eight strategies
What we assess and remediate
Patch Applications
Browsers, Office, PDF readers and third-party apps are patched on a disciplined schedule so known vulnerabilities cannot be exploited.
Configure Microsoft Office Macro Settings
Macros are blocked by default and only allowed from trusted, verified sources — cutting off a common ransomware delivery method.
User Application Hardening
Harden web browsers, email clients and other user-facing applications to reduce the attack surface your staff interact with every day.
Multi-Factor Authentication
MFA is enforced across Microsoft 365, VPNs, remote access and privileged systems so stolen credentials are not enough to get in.
Patch Operating Systems
Servers, workstations and mobile devices receive operating system patches quickly, with testing and rollback plans where needed.
Regular Backups
Immutable, tested backups with clear recovery procedures so ransomware or data loss does not become a business-ending event.
