CyberFrame supports SACSF assessments with the full framework structure, policy guidance mappings, and reporting templates aligned to SA Government requirements. Assess against SACSF with the same structured approach used for IRAP and Essential Eight.
SACSF Hierarchy
South Australian Government Cyber Security Framework
The South Australian Cyber Security Framework (SACSF) is the cyber security standard for South Australian Government agencies. It establishes the minimum cyber security requirements that SA Government entities must meet to protect government information and systems.
The SACSF is structured around policies, guidelines, standards, and rulings. Policies define the high-level security objectives. Guidelines provide direction on how to meet those objectives. Standards specify the mandatory requirements. Rulings provide specific direction on particular topics.
SACSF assessments evaluate an agency's compliance with the framework's requirements across its systems and information assets. The assessment involves reviewing controls against the relevant policies and guidelines, gathering evidence of implementation, and producing a report that documents compliance status.
For SA Government agencies that also need to meet ISM or Essential Eight requirements, there is significant overlap in the control sets. A structured assessment platform can help agencies manage assessments across multiple frameworks without duplicating effort.
SACSF assessments require navigating a policy-guideline-standard hierarchy that is specific to South Australia. Many SA agencies also need to assess against the ISM or Essential Eight, creating overlapping requirements. Without a platform that supports SACSF natively alongside other frameworks, agencies end up running parallel manual processes.
The full SACSF framework structured with policy guidance mappings, control hierarchies, and the relationships between policies, guidelines, standards, and rulings as defined by the SA Government.
Navigate from policies to the guidelines, standards, and rulings that implement them. The guidance structure is built into the framework definition so assessors can trace requirements back to their policy basis.
A structured assessment workflow with phases, objectives, and activities tailored to SACSF assessment methodology. Assessors follow a clear process from scoping through to reporting.
Evidence is linked directly to the SACSF controls and guidance it supports. Assessors can see which requirements have sufficient evidence and which need further collection within the workspace.
Report templates structured for SACSF assessments with section hierarchies aligned to SA Government reporting obligations. Data-driven sections auto-populate from evaluation data.
For agencies also tracking ISM or Essential Eight compliance, CyberFrame supports multiple frameworks within the same platform. Run SACSF and ISM assessments from a single environment without duplicating effort.
