DESE ISMS Scheme FAQ

The Department of Education, Skills and Employment has mandated all providers of employment skills training and disability employment services must be compliant with their Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) scheme.

The scheme combines a customised version of the ISO 27001 ISMS Standard with additional controls from the Australian Government Information Security Manual.
