In April 2022, IIS Partners merged with Ground Up Consulting, bringing together three of Asia-Pacific’s premier experts in privacy and data protection: IIS Founder and former federal Privacy Commissioner, Malcolm Crompton; IIS Managing Partner and top-tier cyber security advisor to boards, Mike Trovato; and privacy maven, Nicole Stephensen.
The merger further strengthens IIS’s experience and expertise in privacy advisory and capacity building for organisations across government, industry and not-for-profit sectors. This is also a new phase for IIS’s growth, as the merger establishes a full-time presence for IIS in Queensland.
IIS will continue to operate under the same IIS Partners brand, with Ground Up staff smoothly integrated into the company. We are excited to move forward as one with enhanced experience, expertise and capacity.
IIS Partner Nicole Stephensen was interviewed by The New Daily as part of their reporting on the Australian Government’s Digital ID Bill.
IIS Founder & Partner Malcolm Crompton was interviewed by Channel 9’s A Current Affair program on the Australian Government’s plans to introduce a voluntary digital ID for all Australians.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has selected IIS Partners to undertake the second phase of the 2026 Census of Population and Housing Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA).
The ABS has announced the publication of the independent findings of the 2026 Census Phase 1 PIA conducted by IIS Partners, along with its response.
