Maintaining a sustainable cyber security strategy

How to comply with Privacy Act legislative changes and increase alignment with the Essential Eight cyber security framework while improving your cyber security posture

 

According to a recent survey, 47% of Australians said they would stop buying from an organisation that experienced a breach with 12% of Australians saying there was nothing an organisation could do to appease them. 

Even so, compliance with the Australian Privacy Act and Essential Eight is complex: specific expertise, dedicated resources and cost all play a part when adhering to legislation. 

But is non-compliance, obsolete defences and persistent breaches worth the risk? What about the associated reputational damage, financial penalties and even criminal charges? 

As cyber security laws, regulations and frameworks continue to evolve, maintaining a sustainable, fit-for-purpose cybersecurity programme is critical. 

 

In this whitepaper, we outline: 

  • Current and upcoming compliance obligations
  • The challenges around meeting them
  • Solutions that can help 

However, while implementing baseline compliance measures may seem sufficient, is it really enough? Read an alternative perspective on the value of proactive compliance and learn how to: 

  • Defend from compromise and theft of sensitive personal information
  • Boost overall cyber security maturity and
  • Deliver quantifiable strategic value to your organisation.
