Principles
The strategy is guided by the following principles:
- Hosting arrangements must be designed to ensure resilience and business continuity.
- Hosting arrangements must be founded on robust, risk-based assessments to ensure data sovereignty and supply chain integrity.
- Existing policies and certification processes should be used where appropriate.
- Where common hosting requirements are identified across the APS, centralised arrangements should be accessible and leveraged by agencies
- Government agencies continue to have the autonomy to select the best hosting arrangements for their requirements.
