Front of mind for ANAO.
Australia’s national auditor is considering an audit into the development of the federal government’s GovPass digital identity system as the now $450 million-plus project enters its sixth year.
The Australian National Audit Office has also singled out the government’s COVIDSafe contact tracing app for review, including whether its design and use is both economical and effective.
In its draft annual work program for 2021-22, released on Thursday, the auditor proposed 16 reviews aimed at government IT, cyber security, privacy and data over the next 12 months.
One of the potential areas for review is the GovPass digital identify system, which the ANAO has hand-picked following the government’s $256.6 million investment in last year’s budget.

The Digital Transformation Agency has unveiled a regime for certifying data centres and managed services providers that handle federal government data.
The agency will assess providers on two certification levels, Certified Assured Hosting Provider and Certified Strategic Hosting Provider.
Certified Assured Hosting Provider arrangements safeguard against the risks of change of ownership or control through financial penalties or incentives, aimed at minimising transition costs borne by the Commonwealth should a data centre provider alter their profile.
Certified Strategic Hosting Provider, previously named Certified Sovereign Data Centre, represents the highest level of assurance and is only available to providers that allow the government to specify ownership and control conditions.
