The AESCSF (Australian Energy Sector Cyber Security Framework) is the primary tool for measuring and improving cybersecurity maturity across Australia’s energy industry. AESCSF serves as a blueprint for energy providers to assess, build, and manage their cybersecurity capabilities effectively to mitigate risk and enhance resilience. Compliance is essential not only to satisfy regulatory requirements under the SOCI Act but also to establish a culture of governance that protects your critical assets, maintains public trust, and ensures the long-term resilience of the national energy grid.

  1. Key compliance requirements covered

    The AESCSF is a recognised framework for meeting the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act 2018. AESCF is aligned with Australian Privacy Principles and ACSC Essential Eight Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents.

  2. Align with AESCSF standards and regulator expectations

    Our service enhances cyber resilience by identifying and remediating gaps, aligning with AESCSF and regulatory expectations, strengthening governance and incident response, protecting operations from disruption, guiding risk based investment, improving audit readiness, and supporting compliance with the SOCI Act.

  3. From risk identification to actionable insights

    The assessment reviews security practices across 11 domains by analysing documentation, technical evidence, and stakeholder input, guided by the Criticality Assessment Tool and security profile. It identifies maturity gaps and provides practical recommendations, supported by a detailed report outlining compliance status and a roadmap for uplift.
