COST ANALYSIS FOR ACHIEVING ESSENTIAL EIGHT COMPLIANCE ACROSS VARIOUS OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS
SCENARIO 1: HYBRID ENVIRONMENT (WINDOWS AND MACOS) • ·HYBRID ENVIRONMENT: A MIX OF 30 WINDOWS DEVICES AND 20 MACOS DEVICES OFTEN SEEN IN MID-SIZED BUSINESSES TO CATER TO DIFFERENT OPERATIONAL NEEDS. • ·DIRECT COSTS: ESTIMATED TO BE $35 AUD PER USER PER MONTH FOR TOOLS AND AUTOMATION. • ·Time required: Approximately 100 hours initially for implementing Essential Eight Baseline Level 1 and 20 hours per month for monitoring and maintaining.
SCENARIO 2: CHROMEBOOK DEVICES • CHROMEBOOK DEVICES: A UNIFORM IT INFRASTRUCTURE WITH 50 CHROMEBOOK DEVICES. • DIRECT COSTS: ESTIMATED TO BE $10 AUD PER USER PER MONTH FOR TOOLS AND AUTOMATION. • TIME REQUIRED: APPROXIMATELY 50 HOURS INITIALLY FOR IMPLEMENTING ESSENTIAL EIGHT BASELINE LEVEL 1 AND 10 HOURS PER MONTH FOR MAINTENANCE.
SCENARIO 3: WINDOWS ONLY DEVICES • WINDOWS ONLY DEVICES: SOLE USAGE OF 50 WINDOWS DEVICES, A COMMON SCENARIO IN BUSINESSES WITH LEGACY SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS OR INDUSTRY- SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS. • Discussion on the complexities and challenges associated with managing a more complex operating system like Windows. • Direct Costs: Estimated to be $30 AUD per user per month for tools and automation. • Time required: Approximately 80 hours initially for implementing Essential Eight Baseline Level 1 and 20 hours per month for maintenance.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SCENARIOS • ·A DETAILED COMPARISON TABLE SHOWCASING THE DIRECT, INDIRECT, AND TOTAL COSTS FOR EACH SCENARIO. • HIGHLIGHTING CHROMEBOOK DEVICES SCENARIO AS THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE OPTION IN TERMS OF BOTH DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS. • DISCUSSION ON HOW WINDOWS ONLY AND HYBRID SCENARIOS HAVE HIGHER COSTS DUE TO THE COMPLEXITIES OF IMPLEMENTING SECURITY AND MONITORING.
