CYBERSECURITY —
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
349. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the Minister for Innovation and the
Digital Economy:
I refer to my previous question on
notice 1962, answered on Tuesday, 16 April, in which I was advised that the
government could not tell me how many agencies have achieved each level of
cybersecurity maturity because the information remains cabinet-in-confidence
and is sensitive.
(1) Is the
minister aware that the Auditor General regularly reports on agencies'
cybersecurity maturity, including in the annual information systems audit
report?
(2) Is the information published in the Office of the
Auditor General's report on cybersecurity maturity also sensitive ?
(3) Is the minister absolutely sure that agency
cybersecurity self-assessments provided to the Office of Digital Government for the purpose of compliance with the cybersecurity policy are indeed the
subject of cabinet-in-confidence?
