Why work with Ivanka on ACSC Essential Eight

ASD's Essential Eight Maturity Model (November 2023): the eight mitigation strategies at Maturity Levels One to Three, each requirement as ASD states it with its ISM control and the levels it applies at, including the requirements that unsupported applications, online services and operating systems are removed or replaced.

Compliance work stalls when it is treated as a checklist. Ivanka treats ACSC Essential Eight as a strategic decision: what matters most for your organisation, what to do first, and what your leadership team needs to understand. For 25 years she has built The Art of Service, whose compliance platform now covers 1,062 frameworks.

The free readiness assessment scores your organisation against the 152 controls across 9 domains of ACSC Essential Eight. The strategy call turns those scores into priorities, including where work you have already done for other frameworks can be reused.
