Since its introduction in 2012, the PSPF has been designed to assist Government entities in the protection of their people, information and assets by providing policy guidance and better practice advice for governance, physical, personnel and information security. Importantly, the PSPF also represents best practice guidelines for non-government entities and can be an invaluable tool for any organisation when it comes to protective security. Additionally, non-government organisations that engage in business with government entities may be required to adhere and align themselves with certain parts of the PSPF.
