• Australian Government Agencies generally
insist on maintaining “data sovereignty”
What are you doing now?
• Where is your data?
• Is it secure?
• Is it backed up?
• Do you have a plan if you lose your data for any
reason?
• Have you had any significant failures over the
past year?
What is your existing ICT investment?

infrastructure, systems and support?
• Do you buy or lease equipment?
• What personnel and management effort do you
devote to managing your ICT environment?
What are the Risks?
• Access. You need an internet connection and if
that isn’t reliable then neither is access to your
data or services.
• Ensure you go with a reputable solution and not
the latest cheap and nasty. That said, there are
emerging providers all the time.
