Student data handled like it matters.
Enrolment files, wellbeing notes, biometric proctoring records - higher education runs on personal information. We help providers meet the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles in practice, not just in a policy PDF.
Privacy, as we practise it.
- Privacy program review against the Australian Privacy Principles
- Privacy impact assessments for new systems, AI tools and data uses
- Collection and consent design - telling students the truth about their data
- Data breach readiness under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme
- Third-party and offshore handling - platforms, partners and cloud
- Retention and disposal - keeping what you must, destroying what you should
Three moves, in order.

Breach response plans and assessment procedures rehearsed before an incident forces the issue.
Deliverables you can put in front of a board.
