Three reasons to choose MobileCorp for Essential 8 as-a-service

You may have been putting this off because you think it will be time-consuming, complex, and costly. But it won't be with MobileCorp Essential 8 as-a-Service.

MobileCorp has launched two new Essential 8 as-a-Service products which are affordable, easily understood and designed to remove workload from lean IT teams.

They are Essential 8 Audit as-a-Service and Essential 8 Remediation-as-a-Service.

Here are three reasons to look closer at our approach to mitigating your cyber security risk and making you Essential 8 compliant.

Reason 1 - cyber security without the time demands on your lean IT team

So many cyber security solutions on the market seem to be stuck in the dark ages of workshops, manual checklists, and never-ending spreadsheets. 

We live in a digital age with cyber criminals who are constantly pushing the boundaries to infiltrate our systems. They are not doing it with a pen and paper checklist.

MobileCorp's Essential 8 as-a-Service solutions utilise the latest enterprise-grade proprietary auditing software and automates the monitoring of your systems, gathering the data needed to identify threat vectors. Our remediation as-a-Service is like having an additional pair of hands - or three as required.

Reason 2 - cyber security without unnecessary complexity

Sleep easier knowing that your organisation has the essential protections in place.

Essential 8 is a framework that business can rely on to mitigate risk and meet cyber security compliance benchmarks.

It was formulated by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), now renamed the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) and has been adopted by Government as the baseline risk mitigation strategies that ALL organisations should put in place to protect against cyber threats. 

MobileCorp's Essential 8 as-a-Service solutions are not rocket science. You don't have to be a tech guru to understand the reporting or roadmaps that we will provide. 

You will retain full visibility of your security posture and risk level at all times. We will help you to understand how to best protect your people, processes, infrastructure, and reputation. 

Reason 3 - cyber security without the enormous price tag

It is not unusual to find a price tag of $20k+ for a cyber security audit, with the remediation work costing an additional arm and leg. 

It is perhaps understandable that many cyber audits are expensive. When the audit is manual, human-centric, and focused on lengthy checklists and spreadsheets, the price tag is always going to be high.

MobileCorp keeps costs within reach of businesses of all sizes by utilising proprietary cyber security auditing software to assess the environment for compliance. No time-expensive human chores and checklists.  

After the initial purchase of the audit software licences and the integration with your data sources, your environment is monitored continuously and a fully managed audit is completed each month for a set monthly fee regardless of the number of endpoints.

Remediation works are also billed in a manageable style by MobileCorp with an hourly package starting from 25 hours per month.. This is recommended as suitable for organisations with less than 100 seats.
