The Security Incident Management Audit Program is designed to provide organizations operating in Australia with a structured approach to evaluating and improving their security incident management capabilities. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to assess their compliance with Australian security regulations, validate their incident response procedures, or demonstrate due diligence to stakeholders. The program addresses requirements from key Australian legislation including the Privacy Act 1988, the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018, and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. It includes comprehensive audit procedures, compliance checkpoints, and evaluation criteria specifically designed for the Australian regulatory environment, making it an essential tool for organizations seeking to maintain robust security governance frameworks.
