What are the core SOCI obligations for OT?

The core obligations include maintaining a Register of Critical Infrastructure Assets, reporting cyber security incidents, and implementing a Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program (CIRMP).

SOCI at a Glance: OT Leader’s Guide to Compliance

Protecting Australia’s critical infrastructure through stronger visibility, control and resilience.

Navigating the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act can be a daunting task for those managing complex industrial environments. SOCI at a Glance is designed to bridge the gap between legislative requirements and operational reality, providing OT leaders with a clear, high-level roadmap to compliance.

Simplifying Critical Infrastructure Obligations

For many Australian organisations, the challenge isn’t just understanding the law—it’s implementing it without disrupting production. SOCI at a Glance breaks down the “Positive Security Obligations” into manageable sections, focusing on what matters most for Operational Technology: visibility, risk mitigation, and reporting.

By using this guide, OT leaders can align their security strategies with federal requirements while moving toward a state of “Securely Connected Everything™”. This ensures that compliance becomes an enabler of resilience rather than a regulatory burden.
