Essential Eight Security Assessment
See where you stand on each control and what to fix first. Finish all eight for the overall picture, your Level 1 readiness and a roadmap to close the gaps.
What is the Essential Eight?
The Essential Eight is the Australian Cyber Security Centre's set of eight practical steps that stop most common cyber attacks, the baseline it recommends to every small business. It's the level the Cyber Security Health Check points to, those same basics taken further, and it's a self-assessment based on your answers, not a formal audit.
