The Essential Eight Control Effectiveness Assessment helps organizations measure how well their security controls align with the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Essential Eight Mitigation Strategies. Unlike compliance reviews that focus on design, this assessment validates if controls function as intended, uncovering weaknesses and misconfigurations. Delivered by Trustwave consultants or SpiderLabs, it tests controls like application patching, OS patching, macro restrictions, MFA, and backup protections, while identifying hidden privilege risks. Results include a detailed findings report with remediation guidance and an implementation roadmap, supporting risk management, compliance, and uplift of cybersecurity posture.
