Critical Infrastructure Fortification
Targeted hardening and resilience for operators of Australia's critical national infrastructure. We protect your licence to operate under the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act 2018.
"Failure to meet SOCI Act obligations is not just a regulatory risk — it is a direct threat to your licence to operate. State-sponsored and criminal actors are actively targeting Australia's critical infrastructure. Hardening your environment is not optional."
Simply - a better approach
The SOCI Act obligation
Australia's Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 (as amended) places direct obligations on owners and operators of critical infrastructure assets across 11 sectors.
Actuose' CI-F programme addresses both the regulatory obligation and the underlying threat — hardening your environment against the actors targeting critical systems while ensuring you meet your SOCI requirements.
