AESCSF Cybersecurity Assessment: Building Trust Into Every Megawatt

Independent cybersecurity validation for Australia's critical energy infrastructure.

As Australia's energy system becomes increasingly digital, distributed and interconnected, cybersecurity has become an important consideration for renewable energy projects and critical infrastructure operators.

To help demonstrate our commitment to secure energy infrastructure, SMA Australia voluntarily participated in the 2026 Australian Energy Sector Cyber Security Framework (AESCSF) assessment.

Conducted by Deloitte and commissioned and overseen by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), the assessment independently evaluated SMA's cybersecurity maturity and security capabilities against Australia's leading energy-sector cybersecurity framework.

The assessment provides independent validation of SMA's cybersecurity maturity, operational resilience and commitment to secure energy infrastructure.

Demonstrating Cybersecurity Maturity Through Transparent Benchmarking

SMA participated in the Australian Energy Sector Cyber Security Framework (AESCSF) assessment and achieved benchmark results among the highest-performing participating non-market entities.

Across most assessed cybersecurity domains, SMA ranked either first or second among participating organisations.

The results demonstrate a highly mature cybersecurity capability across governance, operational security, risk management and resilience domains.
