What is the ACSC Essential 8

The Australian Cyber Security Centre Essential Eight (or ACSC Essential 8) is a framework of eight IT security risk mitigation strategies required by the Australian government. 

Why You Should Care About the ACSC Essential 8 

As of 2022, all Australian non-corporate Commonwealth entities (NCCEs) must adhere to all eight security controls outlined in the ACSC Essential 8. Failure to prove compliance with the Essential Eight can leave organisations on the hook financially and legally.
