In order to assist organizations with implementing the Essential Eight, four maturity levels have been defined (Maturity Level Zero through Maturity Level Three). Aside from Maturity Level Zero, maturity levels are based on mitigating increasing levels of tradecraft.
This means the organization is minimally aligned with the intent of the mitigation strategy, and it is vulnerable to common cyberattacks because not even basic security strategies or systems are in place.
This is a foundational level for any organization, establishing a secure baseline. The organization is partly aligned with the intent of the mitigation strategy. Attackers here act very opportunistically and leverage common methods like social engineering, credential theft, etc., to gain unauthorized access.
In this stage, advanced security measures are in place, aligning with the mitigation strategy's intent. This level is recommended for most companies, including Australian government agencies. Attackers show a moderate increase in capability, investing more time in targeting specific systems.
This level is ideal for organizations dealing with sensitive data and critical resources because it is fully aligned with the intent of the mitigation strategies, with robust security mechanisms in place. Threat actors may employ advanced techniques, seek privileged credentials, and pivot across networks, but most are unsuccessful in this stage.
Enhance user experience rather than impeding it. Secure your systems seamlessly with miniOrange,ensuring robust protection.

The Essential 8 is a set of cybersecurity strategies designed to protect systems against cyber threats, emphasizing mitigation of malware delivery, execution, and data exfiltration.
NIST provides comprehensive cybersecurity frameworks and guidelines, while the Essential 8 focuses on 8 specific strategies for practical cyber threat mitigation.
The Essential 8 security controls includes:
1. Application control,
2. Patch applications,
3. Configure Microsoft Office macro settings,
4. User application hardening,
5. Restrict admin privileges,
6. Patch operating systems,
7. Multi-factor authentication,
8. Daily backup of important data.
The Essential 8 was introduced by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) in 2017 as an extension of the Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents.
Yes, the Essential 8 is a cybersecurity mitigation strategy framework aimed at providing organizations with a prioritized set of practices to protect against cyber threats.
The "Essential 8" is named for its eight fundamental mitigation strategies designed to significantly enhance an organization's cybersecurity posture against various threats.
Essential 8 focuses on specific cybersecurity mitigation strategies, while SOC2 is an auditing procedure ensuring secure management of data to protect interests and privacy of clients.
Maturity Level One of the Essential 8 focuses on implementing each of the eight strategies in a basic form, aimed at preventing malware delivery and execution.
The Essential 8 is not mandatory for all organizations but is highly recommended by the ACSC for Australian entities to improve their cybersecurity defenses.
Application control is an Essential 8 strategy to prevent execution of unapproved/malicious software by allowing only authorized applications to run.
The Essential 8 four maturity levels are:
1. Partially aligned with the mitigation strategies,
2. Fully implement each strategy,
3. Implement strategies with automation and improved security,
4. Achieve advanced security and monitoring.
