In today's evolving threat landscape, cyber security isn't optional anymore, it's essential. The Australian Cyber Security Centre's (ACSC) Essential Eight framework provides critical protection against the most common cyber threats, but implementing it effectively requires expertise and precision.

 

what you can expect

At IPSec, our comprehensive Essential Eight Assessment provides a clear picture of your current security posture and actionable steps to strengthen it. We evaluate your implementation of all eight of the essential mitigation strategies for preventing cyber incidents. You will receive:

  • Baseline analysis where we thoroughly assess your current environment against the ACSC Essential Eight framework

  • Gap Identification where we pinpoint specific areas where your controls fall short of your target maturity level

  • Prioritised Recommendations where we deliver practical, prioritised steps to reach your desire maturity level


Hands On

The assessment is based on real evidence, not assumptions. We don't just ask you to tick boxes, we take a hands-on evidence-based approach that involves comprehensive analysis of your actual environment. This includes:

  • Dashboard configurations and settings

  • Policy documentation and implementation

  • System configurations and controls

  • Internet-facing servers and workstations

  • VPN configurations and access controls

  • Cloud platform security settings

  • Phishing-resistant multifactor authentication verification, with particular focus on admin role protections
