Do these frustrations sound familiar?
Essential 8 requirements are vague and open to interpretation
The ASD’s documentation leaves too much room for guesswork.
You don’t have time to reinvent the wheel
You’re running an MSP, not a security research firm. There aren’t enough hours in the day.
So you’re passing Essential 8 work to specialists (and losing the revenue)
Every time you outsource this work, that’s profit walking out the door.
You need certainty that your backup configurations will meet the requirements
One failed audit could damage your reputation and your client relationships.
Even without certification, Essential 8 makes clients more resilient
It’s an extra service you can sell to get them ahead of the curve – whether they need compliance or not.

Understanding the 3 maturity levels
ML1: Basic Cyber Security Posture Suitable for most small businesses. Provides foundational protection against common threats.
- Achievable with most existing backup systems, and some configuration hardening
ML2: Intermediate Protection Recommended for medium businesses and those handling sensitive data. Stronger controls and monitoring.
- Achievable with the help of tools such as CryptoSafeGuard
ML3: Advanced Security For high-risk environments or regulatory requirements. Comprehensive protection with strict controls.
- Achieved with technologies like cloud immutable storage
Each level builds on the previous, creating a clear roadmap for stronger security.
Why this matters now
Hacking and cyber-crime is increasing daily
Get your clients protected now before it’s too late. Ransomware attacks are becoming more sophisticated and more frequent.
Cyber insurance increasingly demanding Essential 8
Without compliance, your clients may find themselves uninsurable – or paying premium rates.
RFPs and tenders specifically asking for ML certification
Your clients are losing business opportunities because they can’t demonstrate compliance.
For clients requiring compliance...
- Meet insurance and tender requirements with confidence
- Pass ASD assessments without the guesswork
For clients not requiring certification...
- ML1/ML2/ML3 standards = stronger security posture regardless of formal audits
- Less chance of successful ransomware attacks
- Better data loss protection
- Get ahead of the curve before compliance becomes mandatory
- Build resilience into their infrastructure now
There's no need to pass this work onto someone else.
ASD E8 compliance can be easy with the right tools.
