Asset inventory
A single register of the systems and data that make up First Six — where each lives, who owns it, and how critical it is — indexing the dedicated registers for credentials, subprocessors, and data categories.
What this policy commits us to
- Production database, auth, storage, and scheduled jobs run in AWS ap-southeast-2 (Sydney); application compute is Sydney-region with a global CDN carrying no data at rest.
- Welfare and crisis data is classified at the highest sensitivity of anything the platform holds.
- The non-production project is schema-synced and holds no real customer data.
- Credentials live in a tiered secret-rotation register with a blast radius per secret; third parties live in a maintained subprocessor register with purpose, region, and data category per provider.
Controls mapped to this policy
Mapping controls to the policy is how we check adherence. A green dot marks a control that is operating and traceable to evidence; an amber dot marks one that is documented and scheduled but has not run yet.
Standards mappings
Through its controls, this policy maps to the following standards and frameworks. Each entry states our real relationship with the standard.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022InfoSec complianceSelf-assessed
A full 93-control Annex A Statement of Applicability is maintained and honestly dispositioned, and the ISMS went live on 26 July 2026 with its first completed management review. Not certified: no external audit has occurred, the clause 9.2 internal audit is openly unmet, and the certification trigger (a named tender, funding, or first hire) was formally decided at the first management review.

- A.5.19Security in supplier relationships
- A.5.23Security for use of cloud services
Australian Privacy Act 1988 (APPs, incl. the NDB scheme)PrivacyApplicable law
The primary legal regime. APP 8 drives the residency objective and every disclosed cross-border flow, APP 11 drives retention and erasure, and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme's assessment clock is built into the incident runbook with OAIC contacts documented. The privacy policy, terms, and DPA template are counsel-reviewed and approved.
- APP 8Cross-border disclosure of personal information
GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation)PrivacyApplicable law
Applies via international students. The 72-hour breach path is in the incident runbook, Article 28 processor terms sit in the counsel-approved DPA, Article 17 erasure maps to the student's own hard-delete cascade (with the audit-trail carve-out disclosed rather than hidden), and Article 22-equivalent disclosure covers automated crisis detection.
