What is Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) Release 2024 and who does it apply to?

Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) Release 2024 is a compliance framework from Australia with 12 domains and 28 controls. The Australian Government Protective Security Policy Framework sets out government protective security policy across six security domains. It applies to all non-corporate Commonwealth entities and is a key framework for safeguarding government people, information and assets. Release 2024 introduces requirements addressing supply chain security, third-party risk management, foreign interference, and security of operational or emerging technology. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) Release 2024 actually require?

Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) Release 2024 has 28 controls organised across 12 domains. The largest domains are Information Security Policies (5 to 9) (5 controls), Security Governance Policies (1 to 4) (4 controls), Security Outcomes (4 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.

If I already comply with another framework, how much of Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) Release 2024 do I already cover?

Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) Release 2024 maps to 228 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are ISO/IEC 27010:2015 (14% coverage), API 1164 (14% coverage), CISA Cross-Sector Cybersecurity Performance Goals (CPG) 2.0 (14% coverage).
