For IT and security teams

Essential 8 for the tender. SOC 2 for the deal. NIST for the board. One platform proves all three.

A 5-minute scan checks your Microsoft 365 against all 107 Essential 8 controls, Maturity Levels 1 and 2. CARS ranks the gaps by risk. AutoFix deploys the fix to your tenant, with one-click rollback.

Works with Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 · Least-privilege OAuth · Read-only scan by default · All processing and AI stay in Australia.

Connect, scan, rank, fix. The full platform in 90 seconds.

Business outcomes

Win enterprise deals faster

SOC 2 and Essential 8 ML2 are table stakes in procurement. Prove compliance up front, with ISO 27001 cross-mapping to show auditors your coverage, and deal cycles shorten.

Access government tenders

Federal and state tenders increasingly require Essential 8 ML2. Move from "not qualified" to "pre-qualified".

Support better insurance terms

Insurers now ask specifically about Essential 8. Documented, deployed controls support better renewal conversations.

Build board confidence

Framework-level reporting for board packs, investor due diligence and your NIST AI RMF story.

ASD announcement

The Essential Eight is being retired. The asks are not.

ASD is replacing the Essential Eight with a new Essentials series, and says work done under it stays relevant. Tenders, insurers and customers keep asking, whatever the standard is called next year. CYBERWHITE already runs Essential 8, SMB1001, SOC 2 and NIST CSF 2.0 side by side.

Now

ASD consultation open on the first chapter of the new Essentials series.

Year 1

Essential Eight deprecation expected to begin.

Year 2

Essential Eight expected to be retired, replaced by the Essentials series.

Frequently asked questions

Do I still need a compliance consultant?+

Many businesses use both. A consultant brings judgement and advice. CYBERWHITE does the repeatable work: it scans your tenant, prioritises the gaps with CARS, applies remediations via Microsoft Graph and keeps the evidence. Consultants and MSPs use CYBERWHITE with their own clients too.

Can we just use spreadsheets and free tools?+

Until an auditor or enterprise buyer asks for evidence. A point-in-time spreadsheet starts drifting the day you finish it. CYBERWHITE re-scans on demand and keeps the evidence current.

How long until we are audit-ready?+

A typical M365 environment reaches ML1 in 60 to 120 days depending on starting maturity. The scan itself takes about 5 minutes, so you know exactly where you stand on day one.

Can we start with Essential 8 and add SOC 2 later?+

Yes. Start with Essential 8 and add SOC 2, NIST CSF 2.0 or NIST AI RMF when you need them. Evidence maps across every framework in one platform.

What happens when our environment changes?+

Re-scan any time. Assessments are repeatable, so drift shows up the same day rather than at your next audit.

Do you work with our existing auditor?+

Yes. Export audit-ready evidence packages and hand them to any auditor or insurer. CYBERWHITE works with your existing audit relationships.
