Overview
The Tasmanian Government Information Security Framework (TGISF) is a whole-of-government framework developed by the Tasmanian Department of Premier and Cabinet to provide a structured approach for managing and protecting government information assets. First published in 2003, the framework establishes information security principles, guidelines, and risk management practices designed to help government agencies safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. It supports consistent security governance across Tasmanian Government entities by defining responsibilities, promoting risk-based decision-making, and encouraging the implementation of appropriate security controls. The framework serves as a foundation for managing information security risks, ensuring compliance with government requirements, and protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.
