Data breach response

What we do if personal information is lost, accessed without authority, or disclosed.

Draft for board approval. CAQA Academy Pty Ltd is being incorporated and this policy suite is being drafted and approved before any learner is enrolled. This page reflects our intended position and is published so you can see it early. It is not yet a board-approved final document. Email info@caqa.com.au if you need the current signed version.

What counts

Any unauthorised access to, disclosure of, or loss of personal information we hold. That includes a lost device, a misdirected report, a compromised account and a vendor breach.

What we do

  • Contain, immediately. Suspend the account or access path.
  • Assess within 24 hours: what information, how many people, what harm is likely.
  • Notify the OAIC and affected individuals where the breach is likely to cause serious harm, within 30 days and usually much sooner.
  • Tell you plainly what happened, what it means for you and what we are doing.
  • Review and fix the cause, with the finding reported to the board.

Where a child is affected

We notify the parent or carer directly, not only by a general notice, and we do it as soon as we have something accurate to say rather than waiting for the full assessment.

Reporting a suspected breach

Email info@caqa.com.au with "Data breach" in the subject, or call 03 8103 8000. We would much rather investigate a false alarm than miss a real one.
