Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 22 asked in the Legislative Council on 13 February 2019 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

PUBLIC TRANSPORT AUTHORITY — CYBERSECURITY

22. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the Minister for Transport:

I refer to the briefing note prepared for the Premier by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet released under freedom of information that stated —

PTA also engaged a private security contractor to provide advice and over 80 functional cyber security requirements are being incorporated into the contract.

(1) Who is the private security contractor that the Public Transport Authority engaged to provide the advice?

(2) What was the value of the contract?

(3) Were all of the 80 functional cybersecurity components incorporated into the contract; and, if not, why not?

(4) Will the minister table a list of all of the 80 functional cybersecurity components that were to be incorporated into the contract; and, if not, why not?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the question.

(1)–(4) The Public Transport Authority engaged the services of Security Infrastructure Solutions. All functional security requirements identified were incorporated into the radio systems replacement contract in addition to other PTA cybersecurity requirements. These requirements are in addition to the general security requirements the PTA already included in the contract.
