Following a competitive Government tender process, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has contracted Cypha Interactive to update and host two of its corporate websites, asic.gov.au and cadb.gov.au.
In a remit encompassing Cypha’s web development and hosting services, the appointment entrusts Cypha to update the content management system and web hosting environment and manage the websites for a three year period.
Says Daniel Christos, managing director of Cypha Interactive: “Our initial objective will be to transition the asic.gov.au and cadb.gov.au websites over to a new content management system before migrating over all of the existing content, data and forms. We then look forward to working with ASIC over the next few years to deliver continuous performance improvements and enhancements to the user experience for both websites.”
As a result of a recent class action, the Department of Home Affairs has been ordered by the Australian Information Commissioner, Angelene Falk, to pay compensation to asylum seekers after the Department was found to have interfered with the privacy of 9,251 detainees.
In the latest
Notifiable Data Breaches Report [pdf] which covered the second half of 2020, the Commissioner warned MSPs that it was the responsibility of both the holder and the customer to determine which party would report a data breach to the Government.
The OAIC said it had received a number of notifications involving an MSP hosting or holding data on behalf of one or more customers.
The OAIC has stated that it considers a data breach at a customer to be a data breach at the MSP and vice versa.
While both entities are not required to report, at least one is and the OAIC warned that MSPs needed to establish this clearly with the customer.
