The Cyber Resilience Policy serves as a cornerstone document for organizations operating in Australia, establishing mandatory controls and procedures for maintaining robust cybersecurity practices. This policy becomes essential as organizations face increasing cyber threats and regulatory scrutiny, particularly under Australian legislation such as the Privacy Act 1988 and the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018. The policy encompasses critical areas including risk management, incident response, data protection, and business continuity, providing a structured approach to building and maintaining cyber resilience. It is designed to align with Australian regulatory requirements while incorporating international best practices and standards. The Cyber Resilience Policy should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect evolving threat landscapes and regulatory changes, serving as a living document that guides an organization's cybersecurity practices.
