The ATO released a draft Privacy Impact Assessment and threshold assessment for its use of Fivecast ONYX, an open-source intelligence platform. The project, managed under the Tax Avoidance Taskforce (TAT) New Policy Proposal with approved funding, aims to support intelligence, risk, and strategy functions in detecting emerging tax risks, patterns, and trends. Access to the subscription service will be restricted to approved staff operating under need-to-know principles, with vendor-provided training and support documentation to ensure privacy considerations and ethical use of public data. The documents outline governance procedures for managing the software and associated compliance requirements, though substantial portions of the assessment remain heavily redacted in the released version.
