WA Cyber Security Policy

The WA Government Cyber Security Policy specifies mandatory measures for government entities in Western Australia to manage cyber security risks effectively. It focuses on ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical information systems while accepting that cyber security threats cannot be entirely eliminated. The policy includes specific implementation guidelines and directives, such as restrictions on the use of certain software products, governance for data offshoring, and self-assessment tools for risk evaluation. Published by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet's Office of Digital Government, the policy is a key component of the state's efforts to secure digital infrastructure.
