Overview
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority's (APRA) Information Security Standard CPS 234, effective since July 1, 2019, requires APRA-regulated entities to enhance their resilience against evolving cyber threats. The standard mandates robust information security controls, including asset identification, role clarity, segregation of duties, incident management, and breach notification. It also extends to third parties managing sensitive data on behalf of these entities. By aligning security measures with business size and risk exposure, CPS 234 ensures financial institutions are better prepared to handle security incidents.
