The AML/CTF reforms brought 100,000 businesses inside of the Australian Privacy Act on 1 July — lawyers, accountants, conveyancers, real estate, TCSPs and precious metals dealers. This campaign gets your business certified to SMB1001: independent assurance you're taking reasonable steps to protect client data as defined in APP 11.
*Free certification credit - conditions apply, .
The law changed on 1 July.
Up to 100,000 firms are newly regulated under the AML/CTF reforms (AUSTRAC estimate).
Your clients' data is the target.
Trust accounts and identity documents make small firms exactly where criminals go.
Reasonable steps are expected.
SMB1001 certification is independent proof you've taken them.
Law firms have an ethical duty to take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of client information. Criminals won't wait for the day you have time to sort it out — and being a small practice is no defence. SMB1001 provides an accessible, cost-effective foundation to strengthen your firm's cybersecurity position and demonstrate your commitment to client care.
