In an increasingly connected world, secure management of digital information is vital to all business operations.
According to the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s (ACSC) 2021-22 Threat Report, one incident is reported on average every seven minutes, with over 76,000 cybercrime reports in 2021-22. While ransomware and associated extortion threats, espionage and fraud continue to present significant threats to organisations of all sizes.
Given the rapid increase in global cyber threats and onslaught of malicious actors, Woolpert Australia (Woolpert) has been continuously strengthening its information security framework supporting its hosted client web mapping systems.
For the benefit of clients and stakeholders Woolpert has achieved and maintained ISO 27001 certification covering “hosting and management of custom web mapping solutions (SaaS platform) and Managed Services” for its Australian operations.
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for information security and sets out the specification for an effective Information Security Management System. The standard provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS according to security best practices.
Woolpert has achieved certification to the newest version of ISO 27001:2022, for its Geosolutions group, as outlined in its certification scope. This new certification embraces a more proactive stance to threat monitoring and risk management.
The process to obtain and maintain certification is intricate and rigorous. For clients, selecting a cloud provider of hosted web mapping systems who has achieved ISO 27001 certification is an investment in maintaining information security, business continuity and defending against an increasingly hostile threat landscape.
Working with an ISO 27001 certified provider, such as Woolpert, ensures security risks and treatments are constantly reviewed, assessed and actioned and and clients can be confident and assured of Woolpert’s commitment and ability to manage their information securely using a rigorous best practice framework.
The plethora of threat awareness materials on LinkedIn, Instagram etc by agencies such as banks, telecommunications companies and more, highlights the level of vigilance that is required when selecting a suitably skilled and qualified services partner.
