ISO/IEC 27001 Certification 

Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)

ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a structured framework for managing sensitive information, mitigating cyber and data risks, and ensuring confidentiality, integrity and availability of information assets.

Australian Workplace Strategies assists organisations to design, implement and maintain ISO/IEC 27001-compliant systems that are practical, scalable and aligned with operational and regulatory requirements.

Managing Information Security Risk

As organisations collect and store increasing volumes of data, the risks associated with unauthorised access, disclosure and loss continue to grow. Data breaches can result in significant legal, financial and reputational consequences.

In Australia, the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) requires organisations subject to the Act to notify affected individuals where an eligible data breach is likely to result in serious harm, under the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme administered by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

ISO/IEC 27001 provides a structured approach to identifying, managing and mitigating these risks.
