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.

SOC-CMM — SOC-CMM Assessment Tool

The SOC-CMM model is a capability maturity model that can be used to perform a self-assessment of your Security Operations Center (SOC). The model is based on review conducted on literature regarding SOC setup and existing SOC models as well as literature on specific elements within a SOC. The literature analysis was then validated by questioning several Security Operations Centers in different sectors and on different maturity levels to determine which elements were actually in place. The output from the survey, combined with the initial analysis is the basis for this self-assessment. For more information regarding the scientific background and the literature used to create the SOC-CMM self-assessment tool, please refer to the thesis document as available through: https://www.soc-cmm.com/
