The standards landscape for cyber security is highly complex with various government and industry-led standards and schemes in existence, developing domestically and internationally.

This report provides a clearer understanding of this landscape, and the current and potential uptake of standards. This information will assist government with identifying and developing evidence-based policies to close the gaps in the landscape. It will also support industry uptake of good standards for cyber security products and services.
