Cyber Security
Keeping your information safe with thorough information security & device management systems and processes
Basic Capability
We are in the early stages of developing our capability and have improvements to make. We likely:
- Aim to keep data secure but have limited formal controls covering people, processes and technology
- Have firewall and antivirus protection, but it isn’t centrally managed or monitored
- Have few IT security policies.
Intermediate Capability
We have the fundamentals under control to protect our information, but further improvements are possible. We likely:
- Have implemented most of the ACSC’s Essential 8 security protections
- Educate staff about where information should be stored based on what type of data it is – sensitive, confidential, public etc
- Securely encrypt and password-protect all devices that store sensitive information (such as client data)
- Centrally manage and monitor network firewalls
- Have approved security policies that staff understand and follow.
Advanced Capability
Our security protections work very well, deliver value and support us to achieve our mission. We likely:
- Have been independently assessed and confirmed as compliant against an information security standard
- Have a system that collects and analyses security information from all devices and accounts, identifying risks and appropriate actions
- Regularly reinforce security education so that staff consider security a key responsibility
- Undertake compliance testing to identify issues assess their risk and prioritise appropriate remedial action.
