Essential Eight, without the jargon.

The ACSC’s Essential Eight is becoming the de-facto bar for legal, finance, and NDIS buyers. Here’s the honest version of how firms get there.

STEP 1

Baseline assessment

Praes measures your maturity across all eight controls. A real score, not sales inflation.

STEP 2

Uplift roadmap

Quick wins (Openskye implements) split from specialist work (Praes leads).

STEP 3

Implementation

Most Level 1–2 controls are M365/Intune config already covered by your MSA.

STEP 4

Maintain & evidence

Solis monitors controls continuously; the evidence pack stays audit-ready.

Praes runs the assessment; we implement the uplift. One referral starts it.
