Australian businesses have been called upon to participate in a consultation process that will shape the nation’s Voluntary Data Classification Framework.
The Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre (Aus3C), in collaboration with the Department of Home Affairs and CSIRO’s Data61, has called upon Australian businesses to share their views on data risk and protection in a series of workshops around the country.
The process will aid in developing the Voluntary Data Classification Framework, a key part of the 2023–2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy.
“Industries often struggle with effectively identifying and assessing the value and sensitivity of their data, which varies significantly across sectors,” Tyler Key, Aus3C’s program lead, said in a statement.
“This lack of a consistent framework leads to challenges in communicating data risk internally and with external partners and prevents them from implementing appropriate security measures, ultimately increasing enterprise risk.”
There will be three workshops – one each in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne – where business leaders can share their data security insights and concerns and propose possible solutions.
“Enhancing our nation’s cyber defences is critical, and all Australian businesses need to play their part in protecting our collective data security,” Key said.
“Our goal is to enable an ecosystem where education and resources empower Australian organisations to take control of their data security.”
