CyberSecOn recognises the critical importance of strong cybersecurity measures to protect your organisation from evolving threats. Our assessments evaluate your adherence to the Essential Eight controls, developed by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), and identify the practical steps to lift your maturity across your environment.
In 2026 the ASD began evolving the Essential Eight into the broader, outcomes-focused Essentials series. We assess you against the Essential Eight now and map a clear path to the Essentials series - so you stay ahead of the change across your IT, cloud and OT environments.
In 2026 the ASD opened consultation on the future of the Essential Eight and introduced the Essentials series - a broader, outcomes-focused family of guidance with a dedicated chapter for each technology domain, starting with enterprise IT.
The Essential Eight is not going away overnight. ASD has confirmed a transition period where both frameworks operate together, with strong alignment between your existing controls and the new guidance - so the work you have already done is not wasted. CyberSecOn assesses you against the Essential Eight today and maps a practical path to the Essentials series across your IT, cloud and OT environments.
Where do you sit today - and what does the next level take? Your Maturity Level work carries straight into the Essentials series.
Rather than one framework for everything, the Essentials series adds a chapter per technology domain. We assess and prepare you across each - including where IT meets OT.
The first Essentials chapter - hardening, patching, MFA and control across your corporate IT estate.
Outcomes-focused controls built for cloud-first and hybrid architectures (a future chapter).
Extending the same rigour to OT, ICS and IoT environments (a future chapter) - our specialty.
Readiness for future guidance, with AI and emerging technology flagged by ASD for later chapters.
Enterprise IT is the first chapter; cloud, OT and emerging-technology chapters are expected to follow as the Essentials series is finalised.
The people, process and methodology behind the service - so you can see exactly how we protect you.
Book a free readiness review and we'll show you where you stand today, identify the gaps, and map a practical path to both the Essential Eight and the emerging Essentials series - across IT, cloud and OT.
