Security awareness training for APRA CPS 234 compliance
APRA CPS 234 requires APRA-regulated entities to maintain information security capabilities commensurate with the threat environment. Chinron maps awareness training directly to the human behaviour requirements within each CPS 234 obligation.
Training mapped to CPS 234 obligations
APRA CPS 234 applies to all APRA-regulated entities — banks, insurers, superannuation funds and more. Each obligation has a human behaviour component that technical controls alone cannot address.
Information security roles
Training on security responsibilities at every level — from the board to individual contributors.
Information asset identification
Awareness of what constitutes a sensitive asset and the obligations that come with handling one.
Implementation of controls
Understanding the human layer behind technical controls — why they exist and how to support them.
Incident response
What to do, who to tell, and how quickly — the staff behaviours that determine incident outcomes.
Testing control effectiveness
Phishing simulations and scenario-based training that test whether controls are working in practice.
Internal audit awareness
Preparing staff for audit cycles and helping them understand what auditors are actually looking for.
CPS 234 requires regulated entities to actively test their information security controls — including through simulated attacks. Phishing simulations are a direct CPS 234 control testing mechanism. Chinron's financial services training library is built specifically for the Australian financial sector: wire-transfer fraud, payment redirection, and the regulatory incidents the industry recognises.
Every Chinron course for financial services organisations is framed in the language of APRA, AUSTRAC and the Privacy Act — not generic compliance content written for a different regulatory system.
We generate the evidence, not just the coverage
CPS 234's personnel requirement maps to paragraph 21 — the information security capability of personnel. Chinron's compliance report shows your completion against it, with a timestamped due-diligence trail of every reminder — so you hand APRA, your auditor or your insurer audit-ready evidence, not a coverage tick.
