Why it matters now
The Essential Eight is becoming a requirement
Clients, insurers and tenders increasingly ask for your maturity level.
A contract or tender requirement
The Essential Eight written into a client contract or tender.
Insurance questionnaires

No clear maturity level
You think you’re secure, but can’t say which maturity level you’ve reached.
Strong in places, weak in others
Maturity only counts when all eight strategies reach the same level.
