What an assessment for ICTNWK619 must cover

42 assessable components: 4 elements (19 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 11 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 9 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Plan advanced network server security

  • 1.1Determine required advanced network server environment
  • 1.2Analyse and review existing security documentation and identify network service vulnerabilities
  • 1.3Research required network authentication and network service configuration options and implications
  • 1.4Determine and document server security design solution according to organisational requirements

2 Prepare for network server security implementation

  • 2.1Assess environment and determine risk and hazard potential
  • 2.2Determine existing organisational risk and hazard control measures
  • 2.3Update existing risk control measures plan and align to installation requirements
  • 2.4Submit plan to required personnel, seek and respond to plan feedback
  • 2.5Implement risk and control preparation components according to technical and organisational requirements

3 Configure advanced network server security according to design

  • 3.1Configure required network authentication, authorisation, accounting services and automatic updates
  • 3.2Configure service security and access control lists according to technical design specifications
  • 3.3Configure required encryption and advanced network service security options
  • 3.4Configure operating system and third-party firewall and filter traffic in line with security requirements
  • 3.5Implement backup and recovery methods and enable restoration capability in the event of a disaster

4 Monitor and test network server security

  • 4.1Test and monitor server, server logs, network traffic and assess effectiveness of network service security
  • 4.2Monitor required files, detect unauthorised modifications, open ports and detect possible intrusions
  • 4.3Investigate, verify and document alleged violations of server and data security and privacy breaches
  • 4.4Implement required risk control measures plan recovery strategies and document outcomes
  • 4.5Finalise reports and documentation and submit to required personnel

Performance evidence

  • install, configure and test network security on a medium sized network on at least one occasion.
  • monitor the server for security breaches
  • document requirements, processes and outcomes.

Knowledge evidence

  • industry standard auditing and penetration testing techniques
  • best practice procedures for implementing backup and restore
  • industry standard cryptographic techniques
  • procedures for error and event logging and reporting
  • intrusion detection and recovery procedures
  • industry standard network service configuration, including: DNS, dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), web, mail, FTP, server messages block (SMB), network time protocol (NTP), proxy
  • network service security features, options, limitations and vulnerabilities
  • planning, configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting techniques
  • security protection mechanisms, security threats and risks
  • server firewall configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting tools and techniques, including network monitoring and diagnostic utilities
  • user authentication and directory services.

Foundation skills

  • Learning: Considers the strategic and operational potential of digital trends to achieve work goals, enhance work processes, create opportunities and enhance or reduce risks
  • Oral communication: Uses listening and questioning skills to confirm knowledge for requirements and when seeking and responding to feedback
  • Reading: Interprets technical enterprise security procedures, policies, specifications and vendor notifications to determine and confirm job requirements
  • Writing: Develops a broad range of material including security reports for a specific audience, using clear and detailed language to convey explicit information, requirements and recommendations
  • Teamwork: Actively identifies the requirements of important communication exchanges, selecting required channels, format, tone and content to suit purpose and audience
  • Planning and organising: Keeps up to date on changes to legislation or regulations required to own rights and responsibilities and considers implications of these when planning, negotiating and undertaking work
  • Problem solving: Uses a broad range of strategies to store, access and organise virtual information, recognising that design choices will influence what information is retrieved and how it may be interpreted and used. Operates from a broad conceptual plan, developing the operational detail in stages, regularly reviewing priorities and performance during implementation and identifying and addressing issues
  • Self-management: Uses nuanced knowledge of context to detect, investigate and recover from security breaches
  • Technology: Demonstrates an acute awareness of the importance of knowledge, monitoring and controlling access to digitally stored and transmitted information

Questions about assessing ICTNWK619

What does an assessment tool for ICTNWK619 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTNWK619 needs to address all 42 unit components: 4 elements with 19 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 11 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for ICTNWK619?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTNWK619 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for ICTNWK619 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTNWK619 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of ICTNWK619, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
