About this resource
A working checklist for teams preparing an Essential Eight Maturity Level 3 uplift or readiness review. It structures the self-assessment around the three questions that decide ML3 in practice - coverage across the whole fleet, speed against exploit-driven timeframes, and resistance to capable adversaries - with per-strategy prompts and an evidence column for each item.
Intended audience: security practitioners running the assessment; CISOs and uplift program leads consuming the result.
How to use it: work strategy by strategy; record evidence (reports, metrics, test results), not assertions; treat every open exception as in scope. The companion article, Essential Eight ML3 Readiness: A Self-Assessment Checklist, explains the method and the traps.
