ISO 27001 - The International Gold Standard
Now a commercial necessity in Australia
ISO 27001 establishes a structured, auditable information security management system. In Australia, it is now a baseline requirement across procurement, enterprise clients, and cyber insurance.

Where ISO 27001 now applies
Government procurement requirement
Government procurement increasingly requires ISO 27001, with expectations flowing into private supply chains. If you sell to the government or its partners, certification is becoming a condition of business.
Adoption across SMBs
ISO 27001 is no longer limited to large enterprises. Small and mid-sized organisations are adopting it quickly, driven by client expectations, procurement pressure, and insurer requirements.
Insurance and contract access
Cyber insurers assess ISO 27001 during underwriting. Certified organisations face lower premiums and fewer restrictions, while many enterprise and government contracts require it at the tender stage.
Access to regulated markets
In financial services, legal, healthcare, and government, ISO 27001 certification is often required to participate in tenders. Without it, access to these opportunities is restricted.
Alignment with Australian obligations
ISO 27001 aligns closely with the Privacy Act, Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, and APRA CPS 234. It provides a structured path to meeting multiple compliance obligations through a single, governed framework.
ISO 42001 and AI Governance
ISO 42001 sets the framework for governing AI across risk, transparency, and accountability. Storata is one of the few consultancies in Australia actively implementing it in regulated environments.

How AI governance is taking shape
Adopted as national standard
AS ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is now the Australian standard for AI management systems. Organisations can be audited and certified against it, establishing formal, recognised governance over AI.
Aligned to national guidance
Australia’s Voluntary AI Safety Standard references ISO 42001 to operationalise its guardrails. Certification positions your organisation ahead of likely regulatory requirements.
Preparing for mandatory controls
Mandatory requirements for high-risk AI are being proposed. ISO 42001 provides a structured, auditable path to compliance, helping organisations prepare before enforcement begins.
AI governance, actively managed
ISO 42001 requires structured oversight across risk, transparency, bias, and accountability. Storata delivers this as an ongoing managed capability, not a one-off advisory exercise.
AI already in use
AI is embedded across tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot and automated workflows. ISO 42001 ensures this usage is governed, controlled, and aligned with compliance expectations.
“ISO 42001 demand is rising fast. AI regulation is moving, and changes like Microsoft’s SSPA are pushing organisations to take governance seriously.”
