Information Security Services Australia - Security professionals analyzing network traffic and monitoring cybersecurity systems.

Eshield provides information security services to our Australian client, which are one of the key services. The cybersecurity legislation in Australia intends to safeguard businesses and consumers from internet dangers. The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) establishes and implements cybersecurity policies in Australia. The commercial sector, academia, and international partners collaborate with the ACSC to enhance cybersecurity risk awareness and promote best practices. Australian businesses must take measures to protect their data and systems against cyber assaults as required by law. These measures include using secure passwords, encrypting data, and regularly backing up files. Failure to implement these procedures may result in hefty financial penalties. Additionally, Australian businesses are obligated by law to report data breaches to the ACSC, ensuring that incidents are investigated and preventive measures are implemented.

Eshield Provides a wide range of cyber security services to our Australian clients including but not limited to:

  • Australian Privacy Principles APPs:

    The APP guidelines outline the mandatory requirements of the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). They provide interpretation of the APPs and consider relevant matters when exercising our functions and powers under the Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act).

  • The Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Act 2018 (Cth) (AA Act):

    The Australian Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Act 2018 (Cth) (AA Act) polarizes opinions. Some view it as a draconian anti-encryption law that could potentially compel companies to build surveillance backdoors into their encrypted products and services. Others see it as a measured response to the “going dark” issue, which does not permit the creation of decryption capabilities or the implementation of so-called “backdoors.” Reference

  • Consumer Data Right (CDR):

    The Consumer Data Right is a world-leading data sharing and portability initiative. Every time a consumer purchases or uses a product or service, valuable data is generated about them. In the past, this data was exclusively held by the product or service provider. With the introduction of the Consumer Data Right, consumers can choose whether to share their data, who they want to share it with, and for how long. The Consumer Data Right also requires businesses to share data about the products and services they offer in a standardized way. This makes it easier to compare offers. Reference

In order to achieve this, we provide PCI compliance consulting services, utilizing a strategic framework to guide our decision-making process. This framework ensures that every initiative is aligned with our mission and supports the needs of the global payments industry. Reference

  • CPS 234:

    CPS 234 is an information security law that is meant to protect regulated organizations from cyberattacks and other security threats. Furthermore, when a clear data breach or other security event is identified, firms must respond quickly. Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent, complex, and damaging, and criminals are continually upgrading their efforts to destroy systems, networks, and information. CPS 234 requires entities regulated by APRA to maintain information security systems and practices that are appropriate for the dangers they face in order to decrease risk and improve cybersecurity. It also requires businesses to employ supplier risk management practices in order to limit the frequency and severity of third-party accidents.

Not just these we also specialize in State wise information security and Data Privacy laws.
