Know your maturity. Make the next improvement count.
A maturity target is useful when it leads to better protection. We help you assess your Essential Eight controls, understand where the evidence is missing and carry a practical remediation plan into your environment.
Discuss Essential EightYour Essential Eight work carries forward.
ASD has released Essentials for enterprise IT, cloud and operational technology, with transition expectations and future adoption guidance continuing to develop. We carry your existing controls and evidence forward, map them to the new framework and shape the next uplift around the services your business depends on.
Explore the transition with ReadiiAn evidence-based view of your controls, followed by improvements your team can operate and verify.
A board wants a clearer cyber posture, a customer requires assurance or your team needs a defensible view of its current maturity. We agree the assessment scope and target maturity with you before the work begins.
How we help you
move forward.
Assess the Real Environment
We agree the systems and users in scope, review the implementation of the eight mitigation strategies and test the evidence against the applicable maturity requirements. We distinguish demonstrated controls from assumptions and incomplete coverage.
Agree the Remediation Roadmap
We explain the gaps in business terms and agree priorities, dependencies and ownership. We consider application compatibility, user impact and operational constraints so changes can be introduced with your team.
Engineer the Improvements
We help strengthen application control, application and operating-system patching, Microsoft Office macro settings, user application hardening, administrative privileges, multi-factor authentication and regular backups.
Verify + Maintain the Controls
We validate agreed changes, record remaining gaps and help establish recurring checks. Assessment evidence, patching records, access reviews and recovery testing become part of the operating rhythm.
Clear ownership.
Useful evidence.
We agree the deliverables at the start, so your people know what we are working towards together.
- A scoped maturity assessment supported by evidence
- A prioritised remediation plan with owners and dependencies
- Implementation support and verification of agreed changes
- An ongoing review approach that follows estate changes
Assessment + Assurance
Essential Eight maturity is assessed against the agreed scope and the applicable ASD model. It is not an ASD-issued certification, and a maturity assessment is separate from an IRAP assessment.
