Super SA Cybersecurity Breach

In reply to the Hon. S.L. GAME ().21 March 2024).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): The Treasurer has advised:

1. We have no evidence or reports to suggest this has occurred.

2. Super SA have proactively contacted all existing and historical third-party vendors to ensure providers are adequately protecting Super SA data.

In collaboration with the Department of the Premier and Cabinet (DPC) and Crown Solicitors Office (CSO) advice has been sought to include strengthened security provisions for the protection of data for all current and future contracts. Dedicated resources have also been employed to strengthen third-party risk management processes.

The policy of the South Australian government since at least 2018, has been to not discuss specific cyber incidents unless there is a public interest outcome that would be served. Any cyber attack that results in an unauthorised disclosure of personal information will be handled in line with the South Australia Information Privacy Principles.
