Essential Eight network controls
Network evidence that supports your Essential Eight program, with a report of the gaps.
The problem
Your Essential Eight program covers endpoints well, but network devices are harder to evidence.
You need to show how admin access, patching and backups apply to firewalls and switches.
What’s included
- Administrator access review for network devices
- Patching and update evidence
- Configuration backup evidence
- Segmentation review
- Logging review
- Gap report
Deliverables
- Network evidence pack
- Gap report
- Prioritised remediation plan
How it works
Assess & understand
We review your program, target maturity and the devices in scope.
Design & plan
We map network controls to the relevant strategies and list the evidence needed.
Implement & configure
We collect evidence from devices and records, using read-only access.
Test & handover
We deliver the evidence pack and walk through the gaps.
Frequently asked questions
Which maturity level do you assess against?
The level your organisation is targeting. We confirm it with you before we begin.
Is this an Essential Eight assessment?
No. It provides network evidence for your wider program, not a formal maturity assessment.
Can you help close the gaps?
Yes. Many fixes are firewall and access changes that we can plan and deliver.
