Antivirus and good passwords are not enough. Effective protection requires system and application security, continuous resilience, monitoring, and quarterly review — across every layer of your IT ecosystem.
C.A.R.L.® was built because no single product delivers this. We started with the ACSC Essential 8, layered in CIS Benchmarks and NIST CSF, then engineered a system that measures your posture across 14 Vital Metrics™ and drives it toward best practice — continuously.
Monocera premium Managed Service clients are enrolled in C.A.R.L.® as standard. Quarterly spot audits, annual CIO reviews, and staff onboarding/exit management are included — because the overlooked edges of your ecosystem are where most incidents begin.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre's core set of risk mitigation strategies for a baseline of effective cybersecurity on Microsoft Windows networks. C.A.R.L.® maps all eight strategies and measures maturity depth at every quarterly review.
Internationally benchmarked configuration standards for every application in your ecosystem. Hardens protective security, enables compliance with regulations and procurement requirements, and keeps your posture auditable at all times.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework provides the process layer — identifying, assessing, and managing cyber risks at the policy, process, and technology level. C.A.R.L.® operationalises NIST outcomes quarterly.
C.A.R.L.® uses cutting-edge monitoring and automation to track, protect and report on system health. The Health Bar™ delivers a live summary across the four core diagnostics — so you always know where you stand.
The Health Bar™ gives leadership a clear, at-a-glance read of security posture across all four C.A.R.L.® pillars — no 40-page report required. Each bar is backed by live monitoring data and updated with every quarterly audit cycle.
A typical C.A.R.L.® audit reveals gaps across the 14 metrics. Our program brings every metric to industry best practice or beyond.
A full C.A.R.L.® audit assesses your current position across all 14 Vital Metrics™. Gaps are documented with specific uplift recommendations — and tracked quarterly until resolved. No metric is left at zero.
The overall configuration of all system applications including protective security apps and systems.
Continuous monitoring and updating of operating systems, applications, back-up systems, processes and procedures.
Management of user identity, access, administration and security privileges including identity validation and authentication.
Management and optimisation of all elements of the IT ecosystem — hardware, cloud infrastructure, and the connections between them.
