Leaked report describes Federal Parliament's cyber security as having 'low level of maturity'

Krusty · Feb 12, 2020

Federal Parliament failed to develop effective methods for preventing cyber intrusions and did not regularly update some sensitive information systems, according to a draft internal audit dated three months after a major cyber attack was uncovered.

7.30 can reveal that a scathing internal audit report written by KPMG for the Department of Parliamentary Services concluded the agency had an "ad hoc" approach to all elements of information security management, the lowest rating possible under the scoring metric used.

The findings of the draft report, titled the Protective Services Protective Framework (PSPF) Alignment Review, indicate that at one point the department's contracted review team considered Parliament may have been more vulnerable than was previously known.

The department has overall responsibility for cyber security in Parliament, including the electoral and Commonwealth offices of MPs and Senators. The network it is responsible for includes over 5,000 users, 5,000 PCs and laptops, 1,000 servers and more than 2,000 mobile devices.
