Benchmark your organisation's cyber security posture against globally recognised frameworks.
A cyber security maturity assessment measures how well your organisation manages risk across critical domains — access control, vulnerability management, data protection, and incident response. Each framework below provides a structured lens for evaluating your current posture and identifying gaps.
Developed by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), the Essential Eight is Australia's baseline set of mitigation strategies designed to protect organisations against the most common cyber threats. It covers application control, patch management, macro restrictions, user application hardening, restricting admin privileges, multi-factor authentication, and regular backups. The model uses four maturity levels — 0 (unprepared) through 3 (fully aligned). Australian businesses and government agencies widely adopt it as a practical starting point for cyber resilience.
The ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It defines a risk-based framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving how your organisation manages sensitive information. Certification against ISO 27001 demonstrates to customers, partners, and regulators that information security is taken seriously. Our assessment benchmarks your controls against the standard's Annex A requirements and identifies priority gaps.
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework, published by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, provides a flexible, risk-based approach to managing cybersecurity across five core functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Widely adopted globally — from SMBs to critical infrastructure operators — the NIST CSF helps you communicate cyber risk in business terms and prioritise security investments. It complements Australian frameworks and aligns with ISO standards.
The ISO/IEC 42001 is the world's first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). As organisations increasingly deploy AI tools and automated decision-making, responsible AI governance has become a critical risk domain. ISO 42001 provides a structured framework for managing AI risk, bias, transparency, and accountability. Our assessment helps organisations understand their current AI governance maturity and identify areas to address as regulatory requirements continue to evolve.
A cyber security maturity assessment measures how well your organisation manages cyber risk across key areas like access control, patching, backups, and incident response. It uses recognised frameworks like Essential 8, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, or ISO 42001 to score your current posture and identify gaps — giving you a clear, prioritised roadmap for improvement.
The Essential Eight Maturity Model, developed by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD/ACSC), defines four maturity levels (0–3) across eight mitigation strategies. Level 3 represents full alignment with ASD's guidelines. Many Australian government agencies and businesses use this model to track their cyber security progress and demonstrate compliance to boards and regulators.
The free demo assessment takes approximately 5 minutes and consists of 10 questions. The full paid assessment includes 70+ questions per framework and takes around 15–20 minutes. Results are immediate — no waiting, no manual review required.
Yes — the demo assessment is completely free with no credit card required. You receive an immediate score, maturity level, radar chart, and summary. Full assessments across all four frameworks are available for a one-time fee of $695, including detailed PDF reports and 12 months of platform access.
Any organisation that handles sensitive data, operates digital systems, or needs to meet regulatory requirements should assess their cyber security posture. This includes SMBs, professional services firms, healthcare providers, financial services companies, and government contractors. Assessments are particularly valuable before a board review, security audit, insurance renewal, or client due diligence process.
Understanding your cyber security posture is the first — and most important — step to protecting your organisation. This assessment is designed to give you a clear picture of where you stand right now.
