Self-Assessment Guide

Work through each Essential 8 control (E1–E8) with clear, jargon-free questions mapped to every ACSC Maturity Level 1 requirement. No technical background needed — each question explains what it means in practice.

Each question includes a description of what compliance actually looks like, plus a concrete real-world example you can compare against your own setup. Expand any question to see exactly what an assessor expects.

Your compliance score updates in real time as you answer. See your overall percentage, per-control scores, and a prioritised gap summary that highlights exactly which requirements need attention first — “Not implemented” items shown before “Partially implemented.”

Every requirement includes the specific evidence an assessor will request — screenshots, reports, PowerShell output, policy documents. Know what to collect as you go, so you’re prepared when assessment day arrives.

Your answers save automatically to your account. Come back tomorrow, next week, or next month — your progress is exactly where you left it. Works across devices. Reset anytime to start fresh.

One-click print your completed assessment for offline reference, team meetings, or to share with your IT provider. Use it as the starting point for your implementation plan.
