In support of #PrivacyAwarenessWeek2026, OAIC, and #SmallBusinessWeek, our COO Bek Fraser reflects on her years running a consultancy.
"My clients trusted me with deeply sensitive information. I went with a mainstream provider because I didn't know what I didn't know."
The right email infrastructure shouldn't be a quick decision. It's central to the trust your clients place in you.

@Old_IT_geek [preface: will not subvert paywalls, and do not read SMH except for DA's cryptic on Friday]
The exemption of people and organisations is such a tricky thing.
See the profoundly fabulissimo Anne Twomey here: https://youtu.be/Dt6p9c0vrt8?t=455If we say that many Bretheren volunteered (as people) to the Liberal Party of Australia (a political party, excluded from the Privacy Act) then we are firmly in "Nothing to see here people" territory.
[oh well]
I wonder though:
#whatIf the data were handed to the Bretheren (an organisation) WITHOUT A CONTRACT with the Liberal Party of Australia?Maybe then we are in interesting territory?
The Bretheren would not be 'subcontractors', nor 'volunteers' for the purposes of the Privacy Act, but just plain-old members of an organisation, on the face of it, subject to the Privacy Act as a section 6C 'organisation'.
I wonder if a Senator (sickem Rex) might ask to see that contract next time the Senate sits?

The privacy regulator is investigating I-MED for giving private medical scans of hundreds of thousands of Australians to a tech startup to train their AI. No consent was sought from patients.

Tonight it's time for an update, a rather frusrating one I have to admit:
#BucketE and #BucketG just have been reported to #AWS #security tonight
Both where reported to their corresponding CERTs, but those did not even answer.
#BucketF was reported to the australian "Office of the Australian Information Commissioner" #OAIC on the 8th of September. Today I got the answer, that they will not be able to help, as they do not know how is responsible and also do not have any possibility to find it out. The email was sent from "noreply@..." so they also do NOT want any help in this regard.

CW: FOI, OAIC, ShitLite governmentss
Here is a perfect demonstration of all major parties’ hatred of truth and transparency.
Hundreds of FOI applications three years old. Some FIVE years old. That’s nearly two government’s lifetimes…
Abbott slashed the budget for the OAIC in a transparent (sorry) attempt to cripple the public’s right to know what government and public service were doing.
Now it’s perfectly understandable that successive right-wing governments were happy to perpetuate that state of affairs, but now we have a shiny new ShitLite administration.
Just like the National Archives, a truly important part of our democracy’s functioning could be restored to health, not with $300 billion, not even with $1 billion, but with just tens of millions of dollars.
Have they done it? Not on your Nelly. The OAIC remains starved of funds, FOI continues to languish, because NO major party actually wants its machinations exposed to daylight. They’re as bad as each other.

Any other compliance publications/guidelines of interest and relevance specifically for #Australia around data security at rest/in motion similar to UK's GPG13/PMO, NIST or US' HIPAA? I have #OAIC's Privacy Act and Australian Signals Directorate - Information Security Manual to start with. Currently doing research on compliance requirements in Australia around data security.
