In today's world of rising global threats and changing security challenges, protecting national interests is essential. In the Government sector, safeguarding sensitive data and critical assets is critical. The Right Fit for Risk (RFFR) provides a comprehensive security system to protect government-related information and resources.
If your business contracts with the Australian Government, particularly with the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR), or provides services within the employment and training sector, you’ve likely encountered the term “Right Fit for Risk” (RFFR).
The Right Fit for Risk (RFFR) framework is an initiative by the Australian Government’s Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR). Its primary goal is to ensure that external service providers and third-party systems handling DEWR data maintain robust information security controls. This includes sensitive information related to job seekers, training programs, and other critical government-administered data.
RFFR compliance is essential, acting as a mandatory cybersecurity accreditation framework that safeguards sensitive government data. It’s a crucial requirement that can determine your eligibility for essential government contracts.
In essence, if your organisation stores, processes, or communicates DEWR data, you need to demonstrate that your IT systems and processes are secure enough to protect that information. RFFR is how DEWR gains that assurance.
