PSPF-compliant, ASD Essential Eight-aligned email for government agencies and public sector organisations in Parramatta. Australian data sovereignty and PROTECTED-level capability.
PSPF and ISM mandate Australian data residency and ASD Essential Eight compliance for all government email systems handling OFFICIAL: Sensitive and PROTECTED information
Parramatta has a significant government and public sector presence, including Commonwealth and state government agencies, local councils, and government-adjacent organisations. Government entities in {suburb} handle some of the most sensitive information in Australia — policy documents, personal information about citizens, and potentially classified material.
Government agencies and contractors in Parramatta must comply with the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) and Information Security Manual (ISM), which mandate Australian data residency and ASD Essential Eight compliance for email systems handling OFFICIAL: Sensitive and PROTECTED information. Using Gmail or Microsoft 365 — even with Australian data residency options — does not satisfy PSPF requirements because the service providers are US entities subject to the CLOUD Act.
