Risk identification associated with external organisations - Responsible Parties must conduct a thorough risk assessment in accordance with Section 5.1 of the PSMF and supported by the Government of South Australia Risk Management Policy Statement prior to granting access to information and/or information processing facilities by any External Organisation.

 

7.2.2 ISMF Standard 13Access provided to third parties (including customers, contractors etc.) shall be controlled based on the specific business requirements of the Responsible Party
