- Standard Business Hours: Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (AEST).
- After-Hours Support: Available upon request and billed at our emergency hourly rate.

We strive to acknowledge all service requests within the following timeframes:
- Critical (P1 - System Outage): < 2 hours
- High (P2 - Business Disruption): < 4 hours
- Normal (P3 - Individual Issue): Next Business Day

4. Client Responsibilities
To ensure effective support, the client agrees to provide reasonable access to systems, maintain active software subscriptions, and supply timely information required to troubleshoot issues.

Compliance & Security Policy

1. Data Privacy (Australian Privacy Act Compliance)
Tideline IT is committed to protecting client data in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). We collect only the information necessary to perform our services and will never disclose your data to third parties without your explicit consent, except where required by law.

2. Security Standards
We employ industry-standard security measures, including:
- Encryption: All client data transmissions are secured using TLS encryption.
- Access Control: Access to client systems is restricted to authorized Tideline IT personnel, protected by Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
- Confidentiality: All personnel sign strict non-disclosure agreements regarding client data and business processes.

3. Data Backups & Recovery
While we provide support for your backup infrastructure, the client is responsible for verifying the integrity of their data backups unless a dedicated "Managed Backup" service plan is currently active with Tideline IT.

4. Regulatory Compliance
We design our IT solutions to align with standard Australian security frameworks (such as the ASD Essential Eight) to help your business meet its own compliance obligations.
