AFIA Privacy Compliance Toolkit – Full Member Access
Over the next 12 months, AFIA will be rolling out a suite of new member tools to assist members with their privacy, cyber risk, and ESG preparedness. These tools will be available to AFIA Full Members located within the AFIA Membership Portal (to request a Full Member login see here ).
These tools demonstrate AFIA’s commitment to bolster our compliance, education, and training initiatives for members.
The first tool to be launched is our Privacy Compliance Toolkit, developed by Salinger Privacy. This Toolkit will help members navigate their way through their privacy obligations, guide key risk areas, and build comprehensive privacy management programs. The resources contained in this Toolkit aim to assist AFIA Full Members with compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and the notifiable data breach scheme, under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), and related privacy issues.
