The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) has developed prioritised mitigation strategies, in the form of the Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents, to help organisations mitigate cyber security incidents caused by various cyber threats. The most effective of these are known as the Essential Eight.

Maturity levels

To assist organisations in determining the maturity of their implementation of the Essential Eight, three maturity levels have been defined for each mitigation strategy. The maturity levels are defined as:

  • Maturity Level Zero: Minimally aligned with the intent of the mitigation strategy

  • Maturity Level One: Partly aligned with the intent of the mitigation strategy

  • Maturity Level Two: Mostly aligned with the intent of the mitigation strategy

  • Maturity Level Three: Fully aligned with the intent of the mitigation strategy

Further information

The Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM) assists in the protection of information that is processed, stored or communicated by organisations' systems. It can be found at cyber.gov.au/acsc/view-all-content/ism.

The Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents complements the advice in the ISM. The complete list of strategies can be found at cyber.gov.au.
