ASD's Blueprint for Secure Cloud

The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) has refreshed ASD’s Blueprint for Secure Cloud – an online tool to help organisations securely configure and implement their cloud-based capabilities.

You can access the Blueprint for best-practice guidance on ‘Microsoft 365’ cloud-based applications and services, including set-up guides and templates. Organisations can use our resources to securely build, configure and optimise their cloud-based solutions. The Blueprint will also alert organisations to the risks and opportunities of different design decisions.

The Blueprint – formerly known as the Protected Utility Blueprint – can be used alongside current processes and procedures to securely implement cloud and hybrid workspaces that align with your organisational priorities and culture. The Blueprint can also help you securely collaborate within and across organisations by providing a template for common cloud-based capabilities.

ASD will continue to update the Blueprint, ensuring the tool is providing the latest best-practice cyber security advice to organisations. Access ASD’s Blueprint for Secure Cloud at blueprint.asd.gov.au.
