Essential Eight Evidence-led maturity assessment
Intelligence Group grades each Essential Eight strategy from the artefacts your systems already produce, so you get a defensible maturity position, a clear picture of the gaps, and the specific steps that lift you to the level you are aiming for.
01 Strategies
The Essential Eight is the Australian Signals Directorate's baseline of mitigation strategies. Australian entities are measured against it, and New Zealand organisations increasingly adopt it as a practical companion to the NZISM. Each strategy carries several requirements that tighten as the maturity level rises, and Intelligence Group grades every one of them from the exports, policies and logs you already hold.

02 Process
Drop configuration exports, screenshots, reports and policy documents into the platform against each numbered test.
An Intelligence Group assessor reviews the evidence for each strategy against the Essential Eight maturity criteria, one strategy at a time.
You see which requirements are met, which are holding your target level back, and the concrete change that closes each one.
Export a dated, evidence-linked report for your leadership team, your board, a regulator, an auditor or a customer.
03 Platform
The platform your team works in from the first day of the engagement is built around four views.
A single view of how far along you are, where each item stands and what is waiting on your team.
Each item is graded against the published ASD test methodology, with the supporting evidence alongside it.
Progress across the engagement, the roll-up by strategy, and dated reports ready to export.
All of your organisations and their assessments on one screen.
04 Deliverables
Each maturity grade links back to a named artefact you supplied, so the answer holds when a regulator, an auditor or a customer asks how you know.
Systems change and maturity slips with them. Intelligence Group reviews your evidence again on a set cadence and tells you when a strategy has fallen below its level.
Every shortfall is paired with the specific action that raises it a level, so the route to your target is laid out before the report is closed.
The Essential Eight defines the bar. Intelligence Group measures your genuine position against it and plots a realistic route to the level your organisation needs.
