By baselining the current security controls and their effectiveness, the Essential 8 Auditor also highlights IT risks that are not adequately managed.
The Essential 8 Auditor automatically identifies and classifies each security issue found, providing an explanation of reasons and context to support the prioritisation of remediation actions.
Following remediation, the Essential 8 Auditor can be re-run to measure the effectiveness of the mitigation effort and report any maturity improvement. All assessment results from the Essential 8 Auditor can be stored to allow users the ability to look at previous results and compare their progress.
