Federal, state, and local government agencies are accountable for how official information is classified, stored, and disclosed. Public AI tools satisfy none of the frameworks that govern that responsibility.
Queensland agencies operate under IS18:2018, the Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld), the Right to Information Act 2009 (Qld), and the Queensland Government Enterprise Architecture. BlackVault™ is deployed and operated to meet these directly — sovereign processing within approved cloud regions, Essential Eight maturity uplift, and a governance documentation set structured for the Information Commissioner and your internal audit.
Commonwealth agencies are bound by the Information Security Manual and the Protective Security Policy Framework. Public frontier AI models are not approved under the ISM for official information. BlackVault™ deploys within your controlled environment, aligns to ISM controls and the Essential Eight, and supports the IRAP assessment pathway when an engagement requires it.
You do not need to commit to infrastructure to engage BlackVault™. A fixed-scope AI Readiness Assessment maps where your agency is already exposed to public AI tools, identifies the workflows with the highest compliance and productivity return, and sets out a sovereign roadmap against your obligations. Sovereign deployment follows when the agency is ready.
