Here are answers to some of the most common questions
What is the ASD Essential 8 framework?
The ASD (Australian Signals Directorate) Essential 8 is a cybersecurity framework recommended by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) to help businesses protect against cyber threats. It includes eight key mitigation strategies to reduce security risks.
How does the Essential 8 Maturity Score work?
The Essential 8 Maturity Model ranks your cybersecurity readiness from Level 0 (no maturity) to Level 3 (highly mature and secure). Our assessment helps determine where your business currently stands and what steps are needed for improvement.
What happens after the assessment?
After the assessment, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining your Maturity Score, critical security gaps, risk prioritization, and key findings. You can then proceed with our consulting phase, where we design a custom remediation strategy. From there, you have the flexibility to choose our implementation support to apply security enhancements and/or our ongoing monitoring service to maintain compliance and stay ahead of evolving threats.
Do I need to implement all eight strategies to be compliant?
Not necessarily. The ASD Essential 8 is a risk-based approach, meaning businesses should prioritize strategies based on their specific threats and risk tolerance. Our experts help tailor a cost-effective and strategic plan for your organization.
Why is Essential 8 compliance important for my business?
Compliance with the Essential 8 helps businesses strengthen their cyber resilience, prevent data breaches, and meet industry best practices. Many government and enterprise contracts also require Essential 8 compliance
How long does the Essential 8 assessment take?
The initial assessment typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your IT environment.
Is it mandatory to opt for implementation and ongoing support after the assessment?
No, it’s not mandatory. Our Essential 8 assessment delivers a detailed Maturity Score, risk analysis, and key findings, highlighting security gaps. You can choose to mitigate issues in-house or choose us for the development of custom remediation strategies, implementation, and ongoing support for a seamless, fully compliant security approach.
