What you need to do

Government employees are to observe security policies with the understanding it provides pathways for successfully protecting people, information and assets.

As a government employee, your responsibilities include:

• familiarising yourself with, and following, the policies and procedures of your agency and your role
• knowing who is responsible for protective security within your agency
• knowing your first point of contact for any questions about protective security
• reporting any security incidents, that have or might occur, to your Chief Security Officer (CSO).

Depending on your role, you may also need to gain and maintain a national security clearance and clearly understand your security obligations and responsibilities as a clearance holder.
