Why This Matters?
Cyber security is now a governance issue. Boards are expected to demonstrate that
reasonable steps have been taken to protect systems and data.
The Australian Cyber Security Strategy 2023–2030 and its Action Plan set out a national vision for making Australia a world leader in cyber security by 2030. This includes uplifting the security of small and medium businesses through practical measures and clear guidance.
While these initiatives are government-led, businesses remain responsible for their own
systems and risk posture.
Tier 1 – Baseline Setup provided by Ingest services, does not implement the government strategy. Instead, it helps organisations prepare and align with its intent by addressing common weaknesses in Microsoft 365 environments.

A step in the right direction.
Alignment with the Australian Cyber Security Strategy
Tier 1 contributes to the national effort by:
-
Supporting Shield 1 – Strong Businesses and Citizens through practical, foundational controls.
-
Aligning with Horizon 1 – Strengthen Foundations, which calls for improved cyber maturity across entire economy.
-
Providing a structured, evidence-based approach that complements, not replaces, government initiatives.

The technical aid needed.
