The Essential Eight framework outlines eight key strategies, supported by a four-stage maturity model, to help organizations lift their security and stay ahead of evolving risks. This model allows organisations to plan for a target maturity level that suits their environment.
The strategies that contribute to the Essential Eight complement each other, allowing you to work towards the same level of maturity across all eight areas before moving onto a higher maturity level. By using a risk-based approach you achieve your Essential Eight maturity level while minimising impact to your organisation’s workflow.
These steps are recommended to make it harder for malicious attacks against your systems. With trained assessors and regular updates from the Australian Signal Directorate it is a time and cost effective approach to preventing a cyber incident.
