The PSPF sets protective security policy for the Australian Government. It sits alongside the ISM and shapes how government entities handle information and access. New Zealand's equivalent is the Protective Security Requirements (PSR).
Why it matters
For government entities the PSPF, or the PSR in New Zealand, frames obligations around information classification and personnel security that sit next to the technical strategies.
Where Intelligence Group fits
- Work out which PSPF or PSR expectations apply to your organisation
- Align information handling with classification requirements
- Connect personnel and physical security to your technical controls
- Keep governance roles and responsibilities explicit
- Document how PSPF, PSR and ISM obligations are met
Where Intelligence Group fits
Intelligence Group rates this strategy from the evidence your organisation already generates, reports the maturity level it supports, and sets out the next step to lift it.
