March 10 - Malcolm Crompton and Chong Shao have published an Insights post titled ‘The OAIC’s new approach: An enforcement memo in complaints clothing’.

February 25 - Chong Shao has published an Insights post titled ‘FIIG and beyond: How regulators are converging on the same cyber standard’. The piece explores recent regulatory actions and court developments, including the growing expectation that organisations maintain robust cyber security controls as part of broader governance and compliance obligations.
