Data and cyber security

We are committed to data protection.

 

Wesfarmers remains committed to being a trusted and responsible custodian of the customer and team member data we hold and continue to invest in data and digital assets and capabilities.

Across our businesses and supply chains, we continue to observe and respond to a heightened, active global and local cyber threat landscape – with a focus on sensitive data, geopolitical tensions, rapid technology development and increased regulator interest.

The Group maintains a data governance policy that aligns standard foundational data types to a Group data classification scheme. This approach helps to support the strategic value of our data assets while balancing security, integrity, compliance and reputational issues inherent in collecting, using, retaining, sharing and destroying or deleting data. In addition, where customer cardholder data is managed or handled, we continue to demonstrate Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PC DSS) assurance.
