The Framework prescribes mandatory requirements designed to protect data security across the Victorian public sector. In order to comply with the Framework, cemetery trusts are required to meet the Victorian Protective Data Security Standards.

All cemetery trusts are required to complete the Cemetery Trust Protective Data Security Plan and submit it to the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner every two years (or sooner if there is a significant organisational change). The recent reporting period ended on 31 August 2020.
