SOC onboarding for Australian universities: a SOCI-regulated sector.

Higher education is one of the 11 critical infrastructure sectors under SOCI. Blueprint generates the CIRMP-aligned onboarding pack, and RORA's delivery record includes two universities and a nuclear research organisation.

Higher education is critical infrastructure here

Under the SOCI Act, higher education and research is one of the 11 regulated critical infrastructure sectors. That means asset registration, a board-approved Critical Infrastructure Risk Management Program, and incident reporting to ASD within 12 hours for critical incidents. Very few onboarding products treat a university like regulated infrastructure; Blueprint does, because the law does.

This is also where RORA has delivered before: our delivery record includes SOC onboarding for two universities and a nuclear research organisation. The education pack is calibrated from that work, not from a persona document.
