Establishing a Critical Worker Identification and Risk Management Framework

Across Australia’s critical infrastructure sectors, one of the most persistent challenges under the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 is identifying and managing critical workers — those individuals whose absence, compromise, or misconduct could disrupt essential services.In this episode, Pentagram Advisory introduces the Seven-Step Critical Worker Identification and Risk Management Framework — a practical, regulator-aligned approach that helps organisations move from compliance to confidence.Tim and Marina unpack the legislative foundations, share insights from industry engagements, and outline how clear governance, operational mapping, and proportionate assurance measures can transform workforce compliance into lasting capability and assurance.Whether you are a security or risk professional, HR leader, or executive responsible for essential services, this episode will help you strengthen your organisation’s resilience and meet the intent of the SOCI framework with clarity and purpose.🔗 For more insights, visit Pentagram Advisory or follow us on LinkedIn.
