Prepare
Preparing for an attack ensures the best possible response and recovery.
To prepare, implement security plans and training.
Security plans
Critical infrastructure must have a security plan and an on-site emergency plan. These must line up with local emergency plans and arrangements.
Security plans should include:
- access control arrangement
- authorised personnel
- response procedures for breaches
- personnel security vetting arrangements
- security arrangements for visitors and deliveries by suppliers
- protection of information systems
- implications for supply arrangements
- infrastructure or facilities that might be a target.
Audit, exercise and review the plan. Involve industry regulators to do this.
Owners and operators of critical infrastructure must also know their government's response plans. It will differ between states and territories.
Security consideration for each threat level
Use Australia's current
National Terrorism Threat Level to shape your security considerations and activities.
