Why E8 Compliance
Government Suppliers Need Essential Eight Compliance
Australian Government agencies are increasingly requiring suppliers to demonstrate security maturity aligned with:
​
-
ACSC Essential Eight (E8)
-
South Australian Cyber Security Framework (SACSF)
-
ISO 27001-aligned controls (varies by department)
-
General cyber maturity requirements during contract renewal or new tenders
For many suppliers, these requirements come suddenly — often during procurement, vendor onboarding, panel refresh, or contract renewal.
If you can’t demonstrate maturity, your contract or tender is at risk.
Our service helps you meet these requirements quickly, clearly, and without needing a dedicated cyber team.
