The GovAssure assurance approach meets the requirements for and objective understanding of government cyber security. Organisations will assess critical systems against one of two target CAF profiles for government, the Baseline or the Enhanced Profile. This will provide organisations and the Security Function with a more effective mechanism to understand the level of cyber resilience across government.
