Reporting

Under the PSPF, all non-corporate Commonwealth entities must report to their minister and the Department of Home Affairs each financial year on security.

These reports assure government that entities continue to implement sound and responsible protective security practices, and identify and mitigate security risks and vulnerabilities.

Online reporting portal

The PSPF reporting portal allows Commonwealth entities to:

• complete and submit their annual protective security report online
• access benchmarking reports at the conclusion of the submission period
• in future years, access assessments and reports from previous reporting periods.

PSPF assessment reporting

All non-corporate Commonwealth entities submitted a PSPF self-assessment report for the 2022–23 reporting period. In addition, 9 corporate Commonwealth entities voluntarily submitted self-assessment reports.

Maturity reporting under the previous PSPF

Before 1 November 2024, the PSPF was a maturity based self-assessment framework. This meant that each year non-corporate Commonwealth entities had to self-assess their PSPF level of maturity against the PSPF Maturity Self-Assessment Model and report on their security posture and measures taken to address identified key risks.
