Overview

Launched on May 25, 2016, by the Minister for Innovation, the WA Digital Security Policy aims to enhance security practices across government institutions by focusing on three key areas: confidentiality, integrity, and availability of digital information. These principles ensure sensitive information is accessed and disclosed with authorization, data remains authentic and protected from unauthorized alterations, and users can access systems and services reliably. The policy also emphasizes the importance of integrating governance, people, processes, and technology in digital security strategies. It aligns with Australian and international standards for managing digital security.
