Cyber Security Policy Attestation 2026

The Cyber Policy Annual Attestation helps ensure UNSW Information Resources are appropriately protected and that asset information and compliance status remain accurate.

Key points:

  • Confirm ownership: Check that you are recorded as the correct Service Owner or Delivery Owner in MyCyberHub.
  • Review and validate assets: Delivery Owners validate asset details and compliance status before completing their sign-off. Service Owners then review and sign off.
  • Record compliance gaps: Known gaps do not need to be resolved before sign-off. They must be understood, recorded and referred to your Attestation Delegate.
  • Complete by 18 September 2026: All asset validation and sign-off must be completed by this date.
  • Senior Leader Attestation: Senior Leader attestation follows on 30 September, with remediation planning continuing from Q4 onwards.
  • Support is available: Guidance is available through drop-in sessions, the My Attestation Chatbot, Teams channel, FAQs, instructional resources and the Attestation mailbox.
