Policyholder data in Australia

APRA CPS 234 applies to all APRA-regulated insurers (general, life, private health) and requires board-level information security governance including email provider assessment. The requirement cannot be satisfied with Gmail or Microsoft 365 alone without independent security assessment documentation.

Regulatory Landscape

Insurance email compliance in Australia

Every compliance obligation that applies to insurance email — and how ShieldBox satisfies each one.

APRA Prudential
APRA CPS 234 — Information Security

All APRA-regulated insurers (general, life, private health) must maintain information security capability aligned with CPS 234. Email providers must be assessed for third-party security capability. Board-level accountability applies.

ASIC / AFSL
ASIC Record-Keeping (AFS Licensees)

Insurance companies and brokers holding AFSL must retain client communications for 7 years. ASIC can compel production of policyholder correspondence in disputes and regulatory investigations.

Privacy Act
Privacy Act 1988 — APP 8

Policyholder health information, claims data, and underwriting details are sensitive personal information. Insurance companies using offshore email create ongoing APP 8 cross-border disclosure for every policyholder communication.

AFCA
AFCA Disputes & Claims Records

AFCA resolution processes require insurers to produce complete claims communication records. Tamper-proof email archiving is essential for AFCA dispute resolution and complaint handling.
