PSPF Assessment Report 2022-23 [PDF]
Publication date

Each financial year, non-corporate Commonwealth entities must report on their security posture to their portfolio minister and the Department of Home Affairs. This report provides assurance to government and the Australian public that entities are implementing security measures that proportionately address their unique security risk environments.

We have now published the PSPF Assessment Report 2022–23. This is the fifth report using the 4-level security maturity model to measure implementation of the PSPF requirements.

This year, Ninety-nine per cent (99%) of entities reported Maturity Level Two or higher for overall maturity, which equates to substantial implementation of PSPF requirements, a 1% improvement over 2021–22. One entity reported overall maturity of Maturity Level One, which equates to partial implementation of PSPF requirements, a decrease from two entities in 2021–22.
