ASD Essentials Series Adoption

We help your organisation move to the ASD Essentials series: defining the cybersecurity outcomes that matter, putting the right principles and actions in place, and showing those outcomes are actually being achieved.

Moving to the Essentials Series

The Essentials series moves cybersecurity away from a fixed list of controls and towards outcomes: what your security should achieve, the principles and actions that get you there, and ongoing evidence that it's working.

Adopting it means understanding which outcomes apply to your environment, across enterprise IT, cloud and operational technology, and how you'll demonstrate them over time. We guide you through that shift, from first mapping to day-to-day operation.

Your existing security work isn't wasted. Controls already in place, including any Essential Eight work, become evidence towards the new outcomes. We map what you have, close the gaps that matter, and keep everything current as ASD releases and refines each chapter.

Our Approach

Define your outcomes

We identify which Essentials outcomes apply to your organisation and what achieving them looks like in your environment.

Map your baseline

We map your existing controls, tools and processes against those outcomes, so you can see what's already working and where the gaps are.

Apply principles and actions

We put the supporting principles and actions in place through scoped uplift projects, prioritised by risk and practical impact.

Evidence the outcomes

We establish how each outcome is measured and evidenced, so you can show your board, insurers and clients it's being achieved.

Keep it current

Outcomes are reviewed continuously as part of managed services, and updated as ASD releases new chapters of the series.

What's Included

Adopt the series in stages, as a scoped project, or as part of ongoing managed services:
