Security

A secure sovereign partner

Security is embedded throughout the organisation. We continually improve on our baseline and uplift our security capabilities to be a secure sovereign partner. Our security program is wide reaching, covering product, protective, information, supply chain security and trusted insider mitigation.
With an Australian security team that focuses on governance, we maintain a number of internal security working groups that report to the Board’s Government Security Committee. This approach ensures that we are continually reviewing and updating our security processes and procedures, to ensure they meet the highest Australian standards.

Information/Cyber Security

Information security at our company ensures that all types of information are protected from unauthorised access or modification and handled according to classifications.
We base our information security practices on threat detection, response and recovery from incidents. In practice we:

  • Take a risk-based approach
  • Know our threats
  • Take appropriate and proportionate levels of response
  • Streamline information management systems
  • Continually build a security-conscious culture.

Our corporate ICT system has achieved ongoing certification with ISO27001 (Port Melbourne) and our development networks also achieve a high level of maturity against the ACSC Essential Eight. We also hold membership of the AiGroup Security Working Group.
