Policy amendment – sensitive and classified information

Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) Policy 8: Sensitive and classified information has been amended to enhance guidance on aggregated and integrated information.

The changes strengthen guidance on the application of existing PSPF requirements to ensure the appropriate classification and management of aggregated and integrated data holdings. This new guidance aims to support Non-corporate Commonwealth Entities to appropriately mitigate the uniquely compounded risks posed by the storage of cumulative data.
