A strong biosecurity status underpins the ability for NSW to trade animal, plant and aquaculture products. Biosecurity protects the economy, environment and community from the negative impacts of pests, diseases and weeds. Biosecurity risks are far reaching, impacting on all aspects of the economy, environment and community. Food safety occurs through regulation and monitoring across the entire food industry supply chain — from paddock to plate.

PROCESS PRODUCT OUTCOMES

Intelligence requirements identified by Business Units and the BFS team.

Field data is collected and entered into BIS.

Field data is combined with reference data and historical information.

BIS Reports provide situa-tional awareness (incl. maps and historic records) in real-time.

Real-time decision-making = reduced risks to the economy, environment, community and industry.

Effective decision making comes from good intelligence Intelligence is both a process and a product. The process of intelligence involves collecting and analysing data and information to generate the product of intelligence which may be a report, a recommendation, a proposal or other decision making tools.

DATAData is typically raw or unformed information, with little processing or meaning.

INFORMATIONInformation is processed data that can be understood and analysed. When organised it helps to develop a deeper understanding of the data that has been collected.

INTELLIGENCEIntelligence is information that has been analysed, refined and presented in a way to the end user that supports their decision making and planning.

How BIS Reports can help your Business Unit BIS Reports is an intelligence tool combining multiple views of a wide array of data — a combination of field and industry data and information from local government sources — which enables users to gain richer insights and deliver real-time decision-making.

PREDEFINED REPORTS AVAILABLE

• Operational reports*

• Ad-hoc reports*

• Biosecurity activity trends* (graphical report)

• Program-based reports (e.g. Virulent Footrot)

BIS Reports also provides analytical insight of usage to drive continuous improvement of intelligence products.

*Can be filtered and queried.

Effective decision making comes from good intelligence.

Intelligence is both a process and a product. The process of intelligence involves collecting and analysing data and information to generate the product of intelligence which may be a report, a recommendation, a proposal or other decision making tool.

DATA

All information is based on data – typically raw or unformed, with little processing or meaning.

INFORMATION

Information is processed data that can be understood and analysed. When organised it is meaningful, relevant and helps to develop a deeper understanding of the data that has been collected.

INTELLIGENCE

Intelligence is information that has been analysed, refined and presented in a way to the end user that supports their decision making and planning.

Some data can be false, out-dated, irrelevant, or even misleading. Only rigorous analysis and information management ensures the data’s validity.

DPI Biosecurity and Food Safety (BFS) is responsible for the protection of the NSW economy, environment and community from biosecurity and food safety risks. BFS is the lead division for the development of clean and safe food and agricultural produce for interstate and international markets. BFS manages risks posed by animal and plant pests, diseases, weeds and contaminants, responds to emergencies and disasters, and manages animal welfare.

The Biosecurity Intelligence Strategy supports proactive decision‑making by providing decision makers with the information they need, when they need it.

The strategy defines the process of transforming data into intelligence and how the intelligence cycle is applied to inform decision makers.*

The Intelligence Cycle

We call the process of transforming data into intelligence the ‘intelligence cycle’.*

*The graphic shows the broadly circular nature of this process, although movement between the steps remains fluid and iterative.

1DIRECT

This is the foundation of the intelligence cycle. The strategy directs what information is collected, what products are to be produced, and the timeframes that will allow effective decision making.

AUTHORITY

We work together with Business Units to determine the requirement to collect and manage data and information based on legislative, regulatory or policy directions in‑cluding: Government Policy; Legislation; Market Access; National Standards/Agreements; and Business Units Strategies and Plans.

IDENTIFYING THE REQUIREMENTS

NSW Government policy is to reduce the burden of collecting information on business‑es and the public. Consistent with this policy, relevant Business Units will:

• confirm the purpose for which intelligence is required, and determine the data and information that needs to be collected

• check requirements against existing data, information and intelligence sets to minimise unnecessary data collection

• identify when intelligence is required and develop collection plans to suit the identified need

• ensure that requirement planning is responsive throughout the intelligence cycle.

We work together with your Business Unit to identify your intelligence needs.

DATA STANDARDS

Data standards are documented agreements on representation, format, definition, structuring, tagging, transmission, manipulation, use and management of data.

BFS Intelligence will maintain a catalogue of types and sources of data and information that are accessible for supporting BFS intelligence gathering. Where information is not catalogued, staff will liaise with the BFS Business Intelligence team to access information and establish the appropriate sharing agreement.

Business Units are responsible for applying the appropriate data standards, and wherever possible will use nationally agreed standards

Where no standard exists, the BFS Intelligence team will work with Business Units to develop an appropriate standard. BFS will also work with relevant Commonwealth agencies to contribute to the development and maintenance of national data standards.

PRIORITISATION

We will work together with Business Units to establish their own collection and analysis priorities for routine intelligence gathering programs as part of annual work plans. Business Units will liaise with the support areas needed to collect the data or information.

BFS Senior Management Team will manage the priorities between Business Units to achieve a coordinated approach across the organisation. They may also identify biosecurity and food safety research tasks for BFS or other agencies.

Intelligence is a critical part of emergency planning. During a biosecurity or food safety emergency response, the Incident Management Team is to determine data collection and analysis priorities as part of their incident action plan. These will be reflected in the response plans and priorities identified as the emergency event occurs.

We will work together with Business Units to maintain intelligence gathering priorities for each emergency response plan.

2COLLECT

This is the process of pulling data and information together. It requires a purposeful, planned and resourced methodology.

TYPES OF DATA

There are two types of data within BFS – reference data and primary data:

1 Reference data – not specifically focused on the biosecurity or food safety outcome, but contribute to decision making. Examples include climatological and meteorological data; NLIS data; geomorphology and soil type data; cadastre and other geospatial data; and water quality data.

2 Primary data – the specific data that have been collected relating to the biosecurity or food safety requirements identified in the planning process. They can have multiple entry points into BFS and can be collected by BFS staff or external parties.

BFS may task other organisations to collect information on its behalf as directed.

Business Units will determine what reference and primary data are required.

COLLECTION PRINCIPLES

Data are to be managed in accordance with the NSW Information Protection Principles. Data are to be geo–referenced and time stamped wherever possible, consistent with the NSW Location Intelligence Strategy. Raw data will be made available for sharing unless there is a standard or guideline preventing its release or if the proposed data use will be contrary to its intended purposes.

3ANALYSE

This is the process of converting data and information into relevant intelligence and usable intelligence products.

Data and information processing methods depend on the type of data being analysed, the purpose of the analysis and the product being prepared. The analysis may need to be carried out by multiple teams or require specialist analytical support.

PLANNING

Business Units will determine how the data and information will be analysed as part of the Intelligence Collection Plan.

During an emergency response, this will form part of the incident action plan. During routine operations it may form part of a broader project plan.

RELIABILITY

The BFS intelligence team will consider the source and methods used to collect data to determine its level of reliability and validity.

SPECIALIST ANALYTICAL CAPABILITY

BFS Intelligence will maintain a specialist analytical capability to support Business Units.

This capability includes identified personnel, data processing software and tools. It also includes appropriate training for nominated BFS staff.

This capability will be visible and available to Business Units during their planning. BFS personnel with specific knowledge and/or experience may indicate their availability to assist in the planning and/or analysis of relevant intelligence. It links business‑as‑usual intelligence to emergency response intelligence requirements as required.

*The Information Management Framework operates within the rules of privacy legislation.

INFORMATION MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK*

BFS intelligence will maintain an Information Management Framework that provides operational guidance for BFS information collection, analysis and dissemination and management.

We will work together with Business Units to maintain planning collection methods and activities, in accordance with the Framework.

INFORMATION COLLECTION PLAN

Information collection must be carefully planned, either as part of a broader project plan, or as a stand alone process.

We will work together with Business Units to develop an Information Collection Plan for each activity that includes:

• Requirements – what data/information is required

• Sources – what sources are available

• Methodology – what methods are to be used to collect data

• Resources – what resources are required (people, skills, equipment, funding etc.)

• Timeframe – what timeframes are relevant, including the ‘shelf life’ of information

• Considerations – such as weather, time of year, time of day, etc.

• Ownership – authority to collect and store, management of privacy and secrecy issues

• Governance – what reporting and monitoring is required

• Testing – at what stage do we undertake initial testing to validate

the Collection methods

• Security – what level of data security is required and how

will this be enforced.

1.3471.986

4DISSEMINATE

This is the distribution of the final intelligence product. Typically to decision makers and other stakeholders identified during the planning phase.

Intelligence products may include situation reports, warnings, advisory notes, BFS Toolset mapping and operational reports, Mobile apps and periodic performance reports. The format of the intelligence product will focus on the needs of the recipients. Multiple formats may be required during an event.

PRINCIPLES FOR DISSEMINATION

Producing intelligence can add significant value to raw data and other information. Access to biosecurity and food safety intelligence must be risk assessed and approved. Dissemination of intelligence products will comply with existing BFS policies for communication of information.

Biosecurity and food safety data and intelligence will be represented geospatially where appropriate. The primary representa‑tion of geospatial biosecurity and food safety data will be through the BFS Toolset mapping application, BioMAP.

DATA WAREHOUSE

BFS Intelligence will maintain a data warehouse that contains past and current biosecurity and food safety data, information and intelligence. It will include a data source glossary listing the sources of available data (internally and externally), and who currently owns the data. For external sources, this glossary will include the procedures and existing arrangements for accessing the data.

The data warehouse maximises data sharing between Business Units and between routine and non routine (emergency) operations.

BIOSECURITY AND FOOD SAFETY TOOLSET

BFS Intelligence will develop and maintain a biosecurity and food safety toolset. The toolset provides a standard set of tools for BFS staff that enable the collection, analysis and dissemination of information. It will be regularly updated to reflect emerging information management requirements.

INTELLIGENCE STRATEGY IN ACTION: NSW WEEDS ACTION PROGRAM

The BFS has developed a proactive approach towards managing the threat of invasive plants by establishing data standards and collection requirements for Local Control Authorities — the NSW Biosecurity Information System (BIS).

This intelligence is critical for decision‑making, providing a platform for improved planning, allocation of resource and reporting for weed management across NSW.

It ensures consistent data capture from local control authorities, coupled with information provided by other land managers to inform

the allocation of future weeds funding and resource allocation.

Weed management data captured through BIS is used to determine:

• Future NSW Weeds Action Program funding allocation

• Weed compliance standards across NSW

• Statutory plans for specific weeds under the Biosecurity Act 2015.

Usable intelligence is delivered electronically to stakeholders via BIS reporting.

All BFS staff can contribute to the data

collection and analysis, and the dissemination

of intelligence.
