Terms of use

Last updated: 11 November 2026

The ASD Essentials Navigator is a free tool provided by ThreatDefence Pty Ltd (ABN 96 158 014 165), Sydney, Australia. By using it you agree to these terms. How we handle your information is on the Privacy page.

What the Navigator is

The Navigator helps you understand ASD Essentials and record a self-assessment. Its results reflect the answers you enter. It is general information, not professional advice, and it is not an audit, a certification or a statement of compliance.

ASD content

ASD Essentials content is © Commonwealth of Australia 2026 and is used under CC BY 4.0. The questions, views and reports are ThreatDefence's own work. The Navigator is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Australian Signals Directorate.

Your data

Your assessment is stored in your browser, not with us. Keeping your own copy, such as a backup file or an export, is up to you.

Using the site

You may use the Navigator free of charge, including for work. Please do not try to disrupt the site, break its security, or copy it and present it as your own.

No warranty

The Navigator is provided as is. We work to keep it accurate and available but do not guarantee either, and ASD may change the framework at any time. Check ASD's published material at cyber.gov.au before you rely on a result.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, ThreatDefence is not liable for any loss arising from your use of the Navigator or from relying on its results. Nothing in these terms removes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.

Changes and governing law

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
