Impactful Policy Frameworks
Australia's Critical Infrastructure Protection Reforms (2022)
The Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 (SOCI Act) was amended in 2022 to introduce enhanced cybersecurity obligations, including risk management programs and mandatory incident reporting, for entities operating critical infrastructure assets across 11 sectors.
This policy increases demand for C4AT's governance, risk management, and cybersecurity advisory services, as clients seek to comply with stricter regulatory requirements and build resilience.
Australian AI Ethics Framework (2019, ongoing development)
While not a regulation, the Australian Government's AI Ethics Framework outlines eight principles for the responsible design, development, and use of AI, guiding businesses on ethical considerations for AI deployment.
This framework drives the need for C4AT to advise clients on ethical AI adoption, ensuring their transformation strategies incorporate responsible AI governance and mitigate reputational and regulatory risks.
Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth)
This Act requires larger Australian entities and those operating in Australia with annual consolidated revenue of A$100 million or more to report annually on the risks of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains, and actions to address those risks.
The Act compels C4AT's clients to review and transform their supply chain and operational practices for ethical sourcing and human rights, creating opportunities for C4AT's systemic transformation and governance consulting services.
