Frequently asked questions
What should Australian buyers check about where data is stored?
Whether the service runs in an Australian region, where backups and support access sit, and whether any data leaves the country for processing, for example for AI features. The answer can differ between products from the same vendor.
Which Australian frameworks come up most in technology buying?
Common ones are the Privacy Act, the Essential Eight from the Australian Signals Directorate, the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act for critical sectors, and APRA’s prudential standards for regulated financial institutions. New Zealand has its own privacy and security frameworks.
Do global vendors offer local support?
Many do, but it ranges from local sales only to in-region engineering and support staff. Ask where support is delivered from and in which hours.
