The Algorithm vs Infosys / HCL / Wipro in Oceania

APRA CPS 234 requires Australian financial institutions to actively manage information security — including for their critical service providers. For APRA-regulated institutions engaging Infosys, HCL, or Wipro, the CPS 234 requirements include assessing the information security practices of the offshore delivery components that handle Australian financial data. The Indian IT majors have documented breach incidents — Wipro's 2019 breach that compromised multiple client environments — that are directly relevant to this assessment.

AU Privacy Act APP 8 cross-border disclosure requirements apply to transfers of Australian personal information to Indian delivery centers. The 'reasonable steps' requirement under APP 8 is increasingly interpreted by the OAIC to require actual assurance about the overseas recipient's privacy practices — not just contractual commitments. For health information subject to the My Health Records Act, the requirements are more stringent: offshore access to MHR data is subject to specific restrictions that go beyond general APP 8 requirements.

Our Oceania engagements satisfy APP 8 requirements architecturally — Australian personal information stays in Australian or APP 8-approved processing environments. APRA CPS 234 compliance is documented through engineering controls that APRA examination teams can verify.
