Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Essential Eight mandatory in Australia?

The Essential Eight is mandatory for non-corporate Commonwealth entities and is increasingly referenced by APRA, state government panels and enterprise procurement as the expected baseline for Australian organisations, even where not strictly legislated for the private sector.

What is the difference between Maturity Level 1, 2 and 3?

Maturity Level 1 mitigates low-sophistication attacks, Level 2 addresses adversaries using more advanced tradecraft, and Level 3 targets highly capable adversaries. Most APRA-regulated entities and government suppliers should target Maturity Level 2 as a baseline, with Level 3 for higher-risk functions.

Can Essential Eight work be combined with ISO 27001?

Yes. Praxis-Q maps Essential Eight controls directly into the ISO 27001 Statement of Applicability, so organisations pursuing both get a single control set and audit trail instead of duplicated assessments.
