Overview
The VPDSS 2.0 provide a structured framework to secure public sector information. Issued in October 2019, the standards replaced the 2016 version and are consistent with national and international security frameworks. They aim to ensure effective and economic investment in security measures, supporting efficient governance, information lifecycle management, personnel security, ICT security, and physical protections. Contracted service providers with access to public sector information must also comply. The standards empower Victorian public sector organizations to manage risks, make informed decisions, and share information securely.
