Agilient publishes free, practical guides for the people responsible for security, risk and resilience in Australian organisations. Each one explains an obligation or a task in plain language, cites the primary sources, and sets out the steps. They cover critical infrastructure and the SOCI Act, security risk assessment and audits, protective security and the PSPF, physical and electronic security, and business continuity.
The guides are written by Agilient consultants and are updated as frameworks and rules change. They are a starting point, not a substitute for advice on a specific site or program; where a guide raises a question for your organisation, a short briefing with Agilient is usually the quickest way to answer it.
