Australian Government Information Security Manual · Australian government cyber security, made adopt-ready · Evidence & Implementation Kit
Meet the ACSC Information Security Manual, without decoding the manual yourself.
Every requirement handed to you as an adopt-ready control, governance and risk through classification, access, the Essential Eight and hardening to monitoring and incident response, with the evidence the ACSC or your assessor examines.
Ready in a weekend, not a quarter.

Here is the honest situation. The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) Information Security Manual (ISM) is the cyber security framework for protecting government systems and information. It covers governance and roles, risk management and system authorization, information classification and handling, personnel and physical security, access control and multi-factor authentication, the Essential Eight mitigation strategies, system hardening and approved cryptography, network and gateway security, logging and detection, incident response and ACSC reporting, and supply chain. An organization with generic IT security but no ISM-aligned controls or Essential Eight maturity is exactly where organizations fall short.

This Kit removes the guesswork. It is the ACSC Information Security Manual written as adopt-ready controls you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence the ACSC or your assessor examines.

What you get, the moment you buy

18
Requirements as adopt-ready controls. Every requirement, written so you personalize and apply it.
18
Evidence-they-examine checklists. For each control, exactly what the ACSC or your assessor examines, plus where organizations fall short, so you close the gap first.
1
Control Matrix, pre-built. Every requirement in a working spreadsheet, ready to record status, owner and evidence location.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each requirement and the workbook returns your readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.

Grounded in the ACSC Information Security Manual. Editable Word and Excel files.

The ISM sets the government bar
Generic IT security is not the ISM. This Kit builds its controls, including the Essential Eight, with the evidence the ACSC or your assessor asks for.

What one control looks like

This is the opening control, where the program begins. All 18 are built to this depth.

ISM-1 Adopt the ISM and cyber security framework SCOPE
Put this control in place

Adopt the ACSC Information Security Manual as [your organization name]'s cyber security framework, and determine the systems and classifications in scope, and document it, so security is structured and the organization can evidence its adoption.

Guideline note.

The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) Information Security Manual (ISM) provides a cyber security framework for protecting systems and information.

Evidence the ACSC or your assessor examines
  • The ISM adopted as the framework
  • Systems and classifications in scope
  • Records of the adoption
Common finding they raise: Cyber security is not managed against a defined framework.

Why this is not another template pack

  • The evidence is the point. A requirement you cannot evidence is a gap waiting to be found. This tells you what the ACSC or your assessor examines and where organizations fall short, for every requirement.
  • The specifics built in. The guideline's distinctive requirements are written into the controls, not left generic.
  • Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
  • It compounds. This work shares its shape with related security and safety frameworks, so it feeds your wider program.

Who buys this

Australian government agencies, their suppliers and security teams. Whether it is a first alignment or an Essential Eight uplift, you save weeks and walk in with your governance, risk, access, hardening, monitoring and incident controls structured.

By the end of the weekend you will have
✓  An adopt-ready control for all 18 requirements
✓  A completed control matrix
✓  The evidence the ACSC or your assessor examines
