Product Overview
This comprehensive IT and Cyber Security Policy template is designed specifically for Australian office, corporate, retail and wholesale businesses that rely on technology to operate safely and efficiently. It provides a practical, WHS-focused framework for managing cyber risks that can impact workers, customers, and business continuity. From head office systems to in-store POS terminals and warehouse scanners, this policy helps you control cyber threats in a way that supports your work health and safety obligations.
Developed by WHS and cyber security specialists, the document integrates information security with broader WHS risk management, acknowledging that system failures, data breaches and online misconduct can create real health and safety risks, including psychological harm, stress and unsafe work practices.
Key Features
- Detailed IT and cyber security policy aligned with Australian work health and safety principles.
- Covers office, retail and wholesale environments, including POS, EFTPOS and warehouse systems.
- Clear responsibilities for officers, managers, workers, contractors and IT providers.
- Risk management guidance linking cyber risks to WHS outcomes and business continuity.
- Comprehensive sections on access control, device use, remote work and data protection.
- Practical procedures for incident reporting, response and recovery.
- Built-in worker and manager checklists to support implementation and training.
Benefits
- Supports WHS compliance by treating cyber security as a safety control, not just an IT issue.
- Reduces risk of cyber incidents disrupting operations, payroll, rosters, and WHS systems.
- Protects sensitive worker, customer and safety documentation from unauthorised access.
- Saves time with a ready-to-use, professional template that can be tailored to your business.
- Improves worker awareness of safe digital practices, reducing human error and phishing risk.
- Demonstrates due diligence by officers and senior management in managing modern WHS risks.
Who is this for?

Legislation & References
This IT and Cyber Security Policy template is written to align with key Australian work health and safety obligations, including the model WHS laws and associated regulations, as well as recognised good practice in information security and privacy management. It is designed to sit alongside your existing WHS policies, risk management procedures and safety documentation, helping you build a coherent, integrated approach to safety and cyber risk.
