Evidence infrastructure for government and public sector

Government and public-sector organizations need security evidence that can support assessment, procurement, audit, executive review, and public-sector scrutiny. APEXLyn provides Australian sovereign evidence infrastructure with Essential Eight support, Australian Signals Directorate Information Security Manual (ISM), March 2026 release framework support where contracted, and implementation-led delivery for high-assurance environments.

The problem

Government and public-sector organizations face Essential Eight expectations, ASD ISM March 2026 framework requirements by procurement or program context, PSPF considerations, supplier-assurance duties, privacy obligations, cyber insurance pressure, and growing attention on AI use.

Many evidence processes are still manual, point-in-time, assessor-heavy, and spreadsheet-driven. Each assessment can become a new evidence archaeology project: screenshots, exports, interviews, manual attestations, and repeated document chasing.

Attest for government

Attest helps government and public-sector organizations collect, preserve, map, and report security and compliance evidence.

Government use cases may include:

Essential Eight evidence
Australian Signals Directorate Information Security Manual (ISM), March 2026 release framework support where contracted
Supplier-assurance evidence
Government / ASD ISM Supplier evidence workflows
Privacy / APP evidence
Cyber insurance evidence
Board, executive, agency, council, audit, and procurement reporting
Evidence records with report verification where enabled

ASD ISM is treated as a supported framework pack where contracted. It must not be reduced to Essential Eight only, a lightweight checklist, a partial ISM subset, or a lesser substitute.

Trace for government

Trace helps government and public-sector organizations govern AI usage, enforce AI policy where scoped, and preserve AI governance evidence where enabled.

Government use cases may include:

• AI use discovery

• Internal AI inventory

• AI policy enforcement

• Records of governed AI interactions where enabled

• AI governance reporting

• Evidence-backed review of AI-risk activity

• Legal hold where entitled and contracted

• Support for public-sector AI governance expectations where applicable
