Security-first. Essential Eight. Built in, not bolted on.

ProTech implements and maintains the ASD Essential Eight as a living baseline for every managed client - not a one-time tick-box audit. We also deliver pen testing, DFIR, and security training for Australian organisations that need more.

ASD Essential Eight

Australia's baseline cybersecurity framework

The ASD Essential Eight is mandated or strongly recommended for Australian government and education bodies, and widely adopted by regulated SMBs. We implement and maintain all eight strategies as a baseline for every managed client.

01
Application Control

Prevent unapproved software from executing on workstations and servers. A core defence against malware and ransomware.

02
Patch Applications

Ensure internet-facing and commonly exploited applications are patched within defined timeframes aligned to risk.

03
Configure MS Office Macros

Restrict macro execution to digitally signed macros or block entirely, preventing a major phishing payload delivery vector.

04
User Application Hardening

Block web advertisements, Java, and other attack-surface features in browsers and common applications.

05
Restrict Admin Privileges

Limit administrative access to only those who require it. Admin accounts are not used for general browsing or email.

06
Patch Operating Systems

Operating system vulnerabilities are patched or mitigated within defined timeframes, reducing exploitability.

07
Multi-Factor Authentication

MFA is required for all remote access, privileged accounts, and cloud services - not just for some users.

08
Regular Backups

Critical data is backed up daily, tested regularly, and stored offline or in immutable cloud storage.
