TRANSFER OF DATA TO THE ABS
Jurisdictions are asked to notify the ABS of their representative prior to the data delivery date. The ABS will then contact the representative to provide instructions and a password for the Secure Deposit Box, which enables respondents to provide data securely on-line.
Security arrangements
Completed national ECEC data is transferred from each jurisdiction to the ABS under secure arrangements. Comprehensive security arrangements are implemented in the ABS information technology environment. These include the use of regularly changed passwords, access control and audit trails. Jurisdictions are instructed to lodge data through the ABS Secure Deposit Box. On lodging statistical files into the Secure Deposit Box, the files are encrypted and immediately moved into a secure location where its content is automatically scanned for viruses and filed in the National ECEC Collection.
Respecting privacy and confidentiality are fundamental to the way in which the ABS conducts its business. Therefore, it is important to emphasise safeguards that are used for the National ECEC Collection process to ensure the anonymity of individuals.
