How mature is your organisation’s privacy program - really? We’ve released Privacy Pulse 2025, Australia’s first report measuring privacy maturity across sectors. Based on a national survey of 119 organisations, the findings are revealing: - Most have a Privacy Officer, but few invest in real staff training - 46% only manage privacy risks ad hoc, and 10% have no process at all - The gap between sectors is wider than expected This report is your chance to benchmark your organisation against the national average - and get practical insights to strengthen your privacy foundations.

How can industry associations support members to navigate complex privacy challenges? That was the question facing the Australian Finance Industry Association (AFIA), with 150+ members spanning banking, finance, fintech and more. With ongoing changes to Australia’s Privacy Act and rising customer expectations, AFIA needed a simple and practical way to help members manage their privacy obligations. That’s where Helios Salinger came in. We partnered with AFIA to design a Privacy Compliance Toolkit – complete with checklists, templates, plain-language guidance, self-assessment tools and a how-to video. The result? A resource that not only helps members stay compliant but also builds capability and confidence across the finance industry.
