Australian Information Security Manual

1081 controls. 5 other frameworks in our corpus share controls with it. Here is all of it, and how much of it you are already doing.

Page built . This page is derived from the framework corpus, which changes when the corpus is extended rather than daily.

1081 controls 5 frameworks share controls with it Australia verified against its source document

Every control below is one this framework asks for. The right hand column counts how many other frameworks in our corpus carry the same control, which is the difference between doing this work once and doing it again for the next standard.

Australian Government Information Security Manual Evidence & Implementation Kit

1081 controls is the documentation set somebody has to write. This is that set, already written: an adopt-ready artifact for every control in policy and procedure text you edit rather than draft, and the evidence checklist an auditor asks for against each.

See what is in it, $249

The same set every buyer of this kit receives. Nothing here is produced on request.

What you already have

Frameworks whose controls overlap this one, most first. If you run any of them, the count is roughly what you have already evidenced.

Showing 400 of 1081. The kit carries all of them.

Tell me when Australian Information Security Manual files something new

One email when a public company newly discloses something this framework governs, naming the company and what our corpus says it puts in scope. Nothing else, and one click to stop.

What an auditor will ask you to produce

The artefacts named on the failure modes this framework speaks to.

  • System security plans
  • Standard operating procedures
  • Current-as-at dates and approval records
  • Revenue analysis
  • Exemption documentation
  • Annual applicability review
  • Centralised event logging configuration
  • Log retention settings
  • Event analysis / alert records
  • Logging concept

How programmes fail on this

Failure modes named by this framework and others. Each opens the full record.

What this page is

A control-level reference for Australian Information Security Manual, drawn from our framework corpus. Control codes and titles are references to the standard, not reproductions of it. The overlap counts and the auditor artefacts are our own work and are the part you will not find elsewhere.
