Securing Victoria's public sector data

Aligning SailPoint identity security with the VPDSS V2.0

Victorian public sector agencies hold an increasingly vast and complex repository of sensitive data. Protecting this information is no longer just a compliance exercise—it is fundamental to maintaining public trust.

Without a clear understanding of who has access to what, why they have it and whether that access is appropriate, organisations cannot effectively manage risk or demonstrate compliance.

This white paper explores how SailPoint provides the critical capabilities needed to assist organisations with operationalising the Victorian Protective Data Security Standards (VPDSS) V2.0.

Inside this white paper, you’ll explore:

• Automating discovery and classification of sensitive data: How to locate, label and protect PII, financial records and confidential policy drafts across legacy networks and cloud environments.
• Enforcing least-privilege access across hybrid environments: Why securing collaboration platforms like SharePoint Online and removing orphaned accounts is vital to eliminating insider risks.
• Safeguarding data from AI agents and modern tools: How to govern how tools like Microsoft Copilot interact with your sensitive files, preventing accidental oversharing.
