Why do NDIS providers need security awareness education?

As the number of approved participants in the NDIS has grown 220% over the past 12 months, so has the number of fraudulent cases and data breaches in the healthcare sector. Protecting and safeguarding the highly sensitive health and financial information of participants is mandatory for every NDIS provider. The introduction of the notifiable data breach laws in 2018 bring with it serious financial and legal consequences for organisations that do not meet the necessary standards in safeguarding information. As the vast majority of breaches occur due to human error, educating your support staff is critical to ensuring your participant data is well protected. We've created the first NDIS-specific cyber security awareness course to help protect your participants from fraud and your organisation from data breaches.
