Information Protection and Compliance

Secure your data. Stay compliant.

Protecting sensitive information is more than a technical challenge, it’s a business imperative. At Bitesize Digital, we help organisations across Victoria classify, retain and secure their data using Microsoft Purview, while aligning with frameworks like the Victorian Protective Data Security Framework (VPDSF) and Victorian Electronic Records Strategy (VERS).

Is this for you?

You need to meet compliance obligations such as VPDSF or industry regulations

You’re unsure how to classify or protect sensitive information in Microsoft 365

You want to reduce risk and improve confidence in how data is handled

You need practical controls that support governance and day-to-day operations


If that sounds familiar, our information protection and compliance service is designed for you. We help councils and businesses put the right foundations in place to manage sensitive data responsibly and securely.

If you're a Victorian Local Government Authority (LGA) looking to implement protective markings in Microsoft 365, explore our VPDSF Protective Markings for Local Government solution. It’s a streamlined offering designed specifically for councils, with practical rollout and support built in.
