Australian financial services — APRA, ASIC and AML compliant
The email platform built for AFSL holders, APRA-regulated entities, and financial advisers — APRA CPS 234 ready, Australian data sovereign, with 7-year audit archiving on every plan.
APRA CPS 234 alert: APRA-regulated entities must assess the security capability of all third-party providers including email. Gmail and Microsoft 365 cannot provide the IRAP-assessed, Australian-sovereign documentation most APRA-regulated boards now require.
Finance email compliance in Australia
Every compliance obligation that applies to finance email — and how ShieldBox satisfies each one.
CPS 234 requires APRA-regulated entities (banks, super funds, insurers) to maintain information security capability and assess third-party providers including email. Board-level accountability applies to all covered entities.
AFSL holders must retain all client communications including email for 7 years in a form accessible to ASIC. Records must be tamper-proof and produceable on regulatory demand.
Financial services firms handling client financial information via offshore email create ongoing APP 8 cross-border disclosure exposure. Client account numbers, TFNs, and superannuation data all trigger heightened obligations.
Reporting entities under the AML/CTF Act must retain client identification and transaction records for 7 years. Email communications containing KYC data and transaction confirmations must be archived accordingly.
