Every requirement is sourced to cyber.gov.au and each page shows the date it was last checked against the source. Facts that are frequently reported incorrectly elsewhere, and that this reference states correctly: - The current release is the **Essential Eight Maturity Model (November 2023)**, last updated 27 November 2023 and unchanged since. There is no 2024, 2025 or 2026 revision of the model. - On 15 June 2026 ASD announced a consultation on evolving the Essential Eight into an ISM-grounded **"Essentials" series**, first chapter *Essentials for enterprise IT*. The consultation closed 12 July 2026 and no draft has been published. **ASD's published word is "evolution"; ASD has published no deprecation or retirement date.** Reports of retirement by 2028 originate from a single iTnews interview of 24 June 2026, not from an ASD publication. - There is **no Essential Eight certification**. ASD states there is no requirement to have an implementation certified by an independent party, does not endorse or register Essential Eight assessors, and publishes no approved-product list. - Internet-facing services must be patched within **48 hours** where a vulnerability is critical or a working exploit exists — at every maturity level, including Level One. There is no 30-day Level One patching rule. - The November 2023 update **relaxed** workstation and non-internet-facing operating system patching from two weeks to one month, and **removed** the Microsoft Office macro execution event logging requirement. - There is **no numeric backup retention period** in the maturity model. "At least three months" comes from the 2017 *Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents*, not the Essential Eight Maturity Model. Twelve-month log retention is ISM-1989, tagged `Essential 8: N/A`. - Overall maturity equals the **lowest** level of any single strategy, and declining an entire strategy — including via risk acceptance or cyber insurance — scores Maturity Level Zero overall. - Mandated for non-corporate Commonwealth entities (Maturity Level Two, PSPF, since 1 July 2022) and DISP members (full Essential Eight at Level Two since 15 November 2025). Under the SOCI Act it is one of five permitted frameworks, not a mandate. Western Australia requires Maturity Level One. "PSPF Direction 002-2023" does not exist. APRA CPS 234 and the Cyber Security Act 2024 do not mention the Essential Eight. - **The Essential Eight contains no software development controls.** All 108 controls in the ISM's *Guidelines for software development* are tagged `Essential 8: N/A`. Secure development is governed by those ISM guidelines and by ASD's Secure by Design material, not by the Essential Eight. Pages: - The Essential Eight, explained (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight): The Essential Eight is ASD's baseline set of eight cyber security mitigation strategies for internet-connected corporate IT. This hub explains what each strategy requires, who must implement it, and what ASD has announced about the proposed Essentials series. - Essential Eight requirements matrix (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/requirements-matrix): What each Essential Eight strategy requires at Maturity Levels One, Two and Three: timeframes, scanning intervals and controls introduced at higher levels. Sourced line by line from the November 2023 maturity model. - Essential Eight to Essentials: a transition tracker (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/essentials-transition): ASD has announced an evolution of the Essential Eight into a new Essentials series, starting with Essentials for enterprise IT. This page tracks what ASD has published against what has only been reported. The difference is being lost, and it changes what you should do. - The Essential Eight will not secure the software you ship (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/for-software-vendors): Every one of the 108 software development controls in the Information Security Manual is tagged "Essential 8: N/A". The Essential Eight says nothing about how you build software. It still binds you in four specific ways, and something else governs the code itself. - Essential Eight quiz: test what you know (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/quiz): Ten random questions drawn from a bank of forty: one from each Essential Eight strategy plus two model fundamentals, with an explanation after every answer. - Essential Eight self-assessment (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/self-assessment): Twenty-four questions, three per mitigation strategy, one for each maturity level. Scored the way ASD scores: cumulative within a strategy, and capped at your weakest strategy overall. - Essential Eight glossary (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/glossary): A sourced guide to terms used in ASD's Essential Eight publications and in the separate instruments that make the framework mandatory for some organisations. - Application control (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/application-control): Application control restricts execution to an organisation-approved set. ASD treats it as one of the most effective controls for preventing malicious code from running. - Patch applications (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/patch-applications): The Essential Eight sets different patching timeframes for different assets. Online services enter the 48-hour tier from Maturity Level One. - Patch operating systems (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/patch-operating-systems): Operating system patching splits between internet-facing and other systems. The November 2023 update relaxed the workstation and non-internet-facing timeframe to one month. - Multi-factor authentication (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/multi-factor-authentication): MFA was the lowest-performing Essential Eight strategy across Commonwealth entities in 2024–25. ASD is specific about which factors and implementations count. - Restrict administrative privileges (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/restrict-administrative-privileges): This strategy limits who receives privileged access, what privileged accounts can reach, how administrators use them, and when access expires. - Restrict Microsoft Office macros (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/restrict-microsoft-office-macros): ASD removed macro execution-event logging in November 2023 and added V3 signature requirements at Maturity Level Three. - User application hardening (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/user-application-hardening): ASD's user application hardening covers browsers, Office, PDF readers and PowerShell. It does not describe how to harden software an organisation develops. - Regular backups (https://nanosolutions.io/essential-eight/regular-backups): The only strategy in the Essential Eight aimed at recovery rather than prevention. Its requirements are written specifically to survive a compromised administrator. --- # Case Studies ## SLSA Beachsafe Client: Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) Service: Custom Portal with iOS and Android Apps Year: 2016 Website: www.beachsafe.org.au The Surf Life Saving Australia website provides safety-related information and advice about Australia's 12,000 beaches.
