Manage risk, find efficiencies and help secure Australia
The central feature of the legislation is the requirement for critical infrastructure asset operators to demonstrate adequate risk management, using an all-hazards approach. Under the legislation critical infrastructure entities must reasonably demonstrate they have aligned to legislative requirements through a Board-level attestation to the Minister for Home Affairs.
Aside from compliance, there are significant flow-on benefits for companies investing in effective risk management planning. Taking an all-hazards approach to your enterprise will improve resilience, help identify scenarios where unanticipated costs and risks could arise and uncover opportunities for greater efficiencies.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to critical infrastructure risk management - every organisation is unique and requires risk management solutions tailored to its specific needs. A cornerstone of the reforms is the ability for captured entities to demonstrate they are taking reasonable steps to mitigate threats. Engaging with the reforms and finding the right solution for your organisation is an opportunity to find efficiencies, manage risk and ultimately help secure Australia.
