The Information Security Manual (ISM) is the Australian Government’s authoritative cybersecurity guidance. Maintained by the Australian Cyber Security Centre, it provides detailed controls for protecting systems and information — and it’s mandatory for government agencies and increasingly expected of their suppliers.
If you’re working with government, tendering for contracts, or operating in a regulated industry, ISM alignment demonstrates that you meet Australia’s highest cybersecurity standards. But the manual is comprehensive — hundreds of controls across dozens of topics — and knowing where to start can be daunting.
CyberNow helps you navigate the ISM by assessing your current controls, identifying gaps, and building a practical path to alignment. Whether you need full compliance or just want to benchmark against government expectations, we’ll help you get there without drowning in documentation.
