In today's digital landscape, safeguarding your business against cyber threats is paramount. BlueShield Technologies, an ISO 27001:2022 certified Managed Service Provider (MSP), specializes in implementing the Australian Cyber Security Centre's (ACSC) Essential Eight (E8) strategies.

 

Our proactive approach ensures your organization not only meets but maintains the desired E8 maturity level, providing robust protection against cyber incidents.

Understanding the 
Essential Eight

The ACSC's Essential Eight comprises eight mitigation strategies designed to bolster your organization's cybersecurity posture:

  • Can I insure my data from theft and loss?
    Though Blueshield does not insure data, as an ISO rated company Blueshield can work with any insurer to make sure your data’s security meets their standards and remains compliant to their policies.
  • Have BlueShield’s protected clients had security breaches before?
    No client adhering to Blueshield’s advice and recommendations has had a security breach. Blueshield is consistent in the task of letting the appropriate personnel know when a client requests a change that opens up a security vulnerability or through inaction in letting a vulnerability persist.
  • I’m currently not a client, is BlueShield still able to help with backup and recovery?"
    Yes – Blueshield is often able help an unfamiliar company recover from a disaster when their previous IT provider has been absent or have left behind no functional backups or obscure recovery solutions.

Achieving and Maintaining
Essesntial Eight Maturity Levels

BlueShield Technologies offers a structured approach to help your organization progress through the E8 maturity levels:

Maturity Level 1 (M1): Partially Aligned
  • Assessment: Evaluate current cybersecurity measures.

  • Implementation: Introduce basic controls for each of the Essential Eight strategies.

  • Monitoring: Begin regular monitoring of systems and applications.
