APRA-regulated entities.

Audit / certification status

Continuous evidence pipeline available; audit support included for all customers.

What it requires

What CPS 234 actually requires.

These are the obligations a regulated entity owes — the things an assessor or supervisor will ask about.

01

Information security capability commensurate with the size and extent of threats.

02

Notification to APRA within 72 hours of a material information security incident.

03

Testing of controls; reliance on third parties subject to security assessment.

How Safeguard maps to it

Pre-mapped controls. Continuous evidence.

Each requirement above is bound to live telemetry — not screenshots. The mapping below is what your auditor or regulator sees.

Evidence we produce

Artifacts your auditor accepts.

Each evidence artifact is signed and timestamped. Auditors can verify integrity without trusting Safeguard.
