This is DSS's internal Security Plan for 2025-2027, outlining the department's protective security framework aligned with the Australian Government's Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF). The document establishes security objectives, governance structures, and risk management approaches across six domains: governance, risk management, information security, technology/cybersecurity, personnel security, and physical security. It reflects a June 2025 update by Secretary Michael Lye to incorporate changes from the 2024 PSPF release and address evolving departmental security needs. The plan details DSS's security environment concerning its people, information assets, and threat assessment, along with defined roles and responsibilities for security implementation. No specific quantified security incidents, vulnerabilities, or funding allocations are disclosed in the provided excerpt.
