Standard Build Image

The Standard Build Image (SBI) is a ready-to-use solution for operating system deployment across government agencies. Each image is pre-hardened to align with selected Instruction Manual (IM) 8 policies and Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmark security controls, and comes with pre-installed agents to simplify setup and maintain compliance.

By providing a standardised and secure baseline, SBI helps agencies:

• Ensure consistent security across government systems.
• Reduce implementation effort and overhead.
• Accelerate system deployment while meeting Whole-of-Government security requirements.

Every image undergoes rigorous hardening and testing, giving agencies a reliable foundation for building and operating secure IT infrastructure.
