Information Sheet: Information Security Leads
This information sheet provides guidance for agencies and bodies subject to Part 4 of the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (Vic) (PDP Act) on the functions supported by an information security lead (ISL).
Regulated organisations have an obligation to protect public sector information and systems by adhering to the Victorian Protective Data Security Standards (the Standards). Accountability for compliance with the Standards rests with the public sector body Head of the regulated organisation, who requires support from personnel who are appropriately skilled, resourced and empowered.
An ISL acts as a central point of contact for OVIC to deliver important information security messages and updates relating to the Victorian Protective Data Security Framework and Standards. An ISL can support their public sector body head and help guide the implementation of the Standards on behalf of the organisation by coordinating a Protective Data Security Plan submission.
