Stop running Essential Eight assessments in spreadsheets

Cairn keeps every client's security posture in one place, scores it the way the ASD actually scores it, and turns it into a report with your logo on it. Built for Australian IT providers.

Scored properly

Maturity levels are cumulative and the overall rating is your weakest control, not an average. Cairn does it that way, so the number you hand a client is the number an assessor would reach.

A plan, not just a score

Every gap becomes a draft action with a priority and an effort estimate, ordered so the quick wins come first. Edit it, assign it, and it goes out on the report — which is the next piece of work you quote for.

Shows the improvement

Assess the same client again and Cairn shows exactly what moved since last time. That side-by-side is the reason a client renews a quarterly review instead of treating it as a one-off job.

Send a link, not an attachment

Share a read-only report by link — no login for the client, expires when you say, revocable the moment you change your mind.

Ready for what replaces it

The ASD is retiring the Essential Eight in favour of the Essentials series. Cairn holds frameworks as versioned data, so when the new chapters land your existing client history comes with you.

Your brand, not ours

Reports carry your logo, your colour and your footer. The client sees your work, not a tool they could have bought themselves.

Hosted in Australia

Your clients' security findings stay onshore. It is the first question a government-adjacent customer asks, and the answer is Sydney.
