AUCloud Response to DTA Digital Transformation Strategy Review
AUCloud welcomes the opportunity to lodge this submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) as part of their review into the Security Legislation Amendment (Critical Infrastructure) Bill 2020 and a Statutory Review of the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018.
AUCloud is a sovereign cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider, exclusively focused on meeting the data and security related needs of the Australian Government and Critical National Industry (CNI) communities. In December 2020 AUCloud listed, with confidence, on the Australian Stock Exchange.
As an Australian owned and operated cloud provider our number one priority is securing the data of Australians, in Australia. Our business is premised on ensuring the highest level of cyber security with security by design features engineered into our platform from the ground up. With the current focus on ensuring Australia’s national security, we strongly endorse the Review of this legislation, having regard to the adequacy of the legislation in addressing the national security threats and risks posed to the Australian economy.
AUCloud fully endorses the objectives of the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act and recently also contributed to the Department of Home Affairs invitation to review the Exposure Draft of proposed amendments to the Act.
This response provides comments related to the updated Legislation under review by the Committee. We would be happy to present before the Committee if required.
