Dear Shirley
Freedom of Information Request: Acknowledgement
Thank you for your requests of 11 June 2021 under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI
Act) for copies of documents held by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).
Scope of your request
The scope of this combined request is:
“Please provide the documented assurance or proof that Salesforce provides
PROTECTED level data security for Australian citizens in accordance with Government
cloud services guidelines. That is, specific evidence (by means of assessment or
certification) that all information and data created, managed, stored and accessed by the
NDIS through all Salesforce products and services are at least PROTECTED with no data
leaving Australia or is accessible from overseas.
This includes all data related to Independent Assessments (IA), past, present and future.”
Unless you advise otherwise by 5:00pm 30 June 2021, we will take it that you agree to the
names and contact details of NDIA staff being excluded from the scope of your request (that is,
the information will be treated as irrelevant).
Processing timeframes
We received your requests on 11 June 2021 and the 30-day statutory period for processing your
request commenced from the day after that date. You should therefore expect a decision from
us by
12 July 2021. The period may be extended if we need to consult with third parties or for other reasons. We will
advise you if this happens.
Charges
We may apply a processing charge to your request and will advise you as soon as practicable
if a charge is payable.
Disclosure Log Information released under the FOI Act may be published on the NDIA’s disclosure log located
on our website, subject to certain exceptions.
