How Castlepoint is used by the Commonwealth Treasury to achieve information compliance

The implementation was completed in late 2019. By 2020, Castlepoint had become a vital system for the Executive, providing information value and risk reporting, compliance, and significant cost savings. Treasury plans to continue adding systems to Castlepoint, to cover the full enterprise.

The ability for Treasury to automatically apply their regulatory rules across all their legacy data helped them to significantly reduce the cost of their cloud uplift. By identifying records that had no continuing value, and did not need to be kept, they were able to descope them from the digital transformation, saving time and cost, and making sure their target cloud environment stayed clean and usable (not cluttered with low value, obsolete content).

Rather than a simple report on size, volume and location, Castlepoint also gave Treasury the dimension of retention recommendations. This meant that in addition to understanding the scale of the potential uplift, they were able to understand how much of the information identified was due for disposal and how often information was accessed or edited. This therefore allowed them to potentially eliminate content from the project.

Castlepoint has given Treasury’s information management team the ability to confidently provide metrics and insights to senior leadership, and to support strategies and plans for improving information management capability in line with the Australian National Archives’ new Building Trust policy.
