Preferred Media, Australia’s leading expert in digital preservation and media lifecycle management, has achieved full compliance with the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s (ACSC) Essential Eight maturity model — bringing government-grade cyber protection to every customer environment.
The Essential Eight is Australia’s benchmark framework for mitigating cyber threats. Achieving independently certified compliance confirms that Preferred Media has implemented key baseline controls designed to defend against opportunistic attacks and safeguard content, credentials, and system access across its platform.
“Security and preservation go hand in hand,” says Holly Duncan, at Preferred Media. “Achieving Essential Eight compliance means our customers can trust that their archives are not just durable but actively protected against evolving cyber threats. This milestone reflects our commitment to delivering secure, resilient, and sustainable digital preservation for every client.”
