ESSENTIAL EIGHT UPLIFT

The Australian Government's cybersecurity baseline — made achievable for SMBs.

The Essential Eight is the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s set of eight core mitigation strategies. It’s fast becoming the standard question in tenders, supplier assessments and cyber-insurance applications: “What’s your Essential Eight maturity level?”

We assess where you stand today (Maturity Level 0–3), give you a clear costed roadmap, and do the uplift work with you — patching, application control, MFA, backups and all.

Our three-step approach

1. Assess

A structured assessment of your environment against all eight strategies, with evidence — not a tick-box survey. You get your current maturity level per strategy.

2. Roadmap

A prioritised, costed plan to reach your target maturity level — sequenced so the highest-risk gaps close first and business disruption stays minimal.

3. Uplift

We implement with your team or your IT provider: MFA, patching cadence, application control, macro settings, admin restrictions, hardening and backups.

What's included

  • Essential Eight maturity assessment across all 8 strategies
  • Written report with current vs target maturity level
  • Prioritised uplift roadmap with clear costs and timelines
  • Hands-on implementation support (MFA, patching, backups, hardening)
  • Evidence pack for tenders, customers and cyber-insurance renewals
  • Optional quarterly re-assessment to keep your rating current

What's your maturity level?

Most SMBs we assess start at Level 0 without knowing it. Find out where you stand — the assessment is fixed-price and takes about a week.
