The engagement commenced with an in-depth assessment to benchmark the company’s existing cyber defence mechanisms against the Essential
Eight, prioritising strategies such as application control, patch applications, and restricting administrative privileges to mitigate cyber threats effectively.
After establishing a baseline maturity level, we crafted a customised action plan to elevate the company’s practices to meet Maturity Level One requirements. Simultaneously, we adopted the NIST Cybersecurity Framework’s structured methodology, enhancing their overall cybersecurity posture through its Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover functions.
This dual-framework adoption streamlined their security processes, strengthened system integrity, and bolstered resilience against cyber-attacks.
The work provided a solid foundation for progressing to higher maturity levels and an enhanced cybersecurity infrastructure.
