What Is Section 2A of the SOCI Act?

Section 2A of the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act 2018 imposes a Positive Security Obligation (PSO) on operators of critical infrastructure in Australia. Whether you are a responsible entity or not, Section 2A compels you to proactively identify, mitigate, and report on security risks — across cyber, physical, personnel, natural hazards and supply chain domains.
