Digital Garden is proud to announce that we are now officially ISO 27001:2022 certified. This milestone reflects our long-standing commitment to robust information security, governance and risk management—providing our clients with even greater confidence in the digital products and services we deliver.

What ISO 27001 means for our clients

ISO 27001 is the world’s leading standard for information security management systems (ISMS). Achieving certification means our processes, controls and governance frameworks meet internationally recognised requirements for protecting information, systems and data.

For our clients—particularly those in government, not-for-profit, enterprise and regulated sectors—it provides assurance that Digital Garden:

  • manages information securely and systematically
  • maintains strong controls across people, processes and technology
  • proactively identifies, assesses and mitigates risks
  • meets strict compliance requirements aligned with Australian Government expectations
  • is committed to ongoing improvement, monitoring and accountability

This certification strengthens our long-term partnerships with agencies who must meet high standards around data protection, confidentiality and operational security.

A rigorous and collaborative effort

Achieving ISO 27001 certification requires rigorous preparation, extensive documentation, and a deep-rooted culture of security. Over the past year, our team has worked collectively to formalise and uplift our security practices, covering:

  • governance and risk management
  • supplier and cloud-service assurance
  • business continuity and incident response
  • asset and access management
  • secure development practices
  • staff training and awareness
  • continuous monitoring and internal auditing

This work reinforces behaviours that have existed within the business for many years, while providing a structured framework that scales with our team and the complex projects we support.

Built to support government-grade digital projects

Digital Garden has delivered secure websites, applications and platforms for Australian Government departments for more than 20 years. We’re also on the GovCMS panel, supporting projects that require strict adherence to privacy, accessibility and security standards.

Our ISO 27001 certification strengthens our ability to:

  • deliver GovCMS, Drupal and WordPress projects with confidence
  • handle sensitive and protected information safely
  • partner with agencies that require security-accredited suppliers
  • respond to security questionnaires, audits and assurance processes quickly
  • provide predictable, secure, well-governed project delivery

Our commitment going forward

Certification is not a one-off achievement—it is an ongoing commitment. We will continue to monitor, measure, review and enhance our ISMS throughout the year, ensuring our security posture evolves as technologies, threats and client needs change.

As we grow, this framework helps us scale responsibly while staying true to our values: high-quality work, ethical practice, and secure, user-centred digital experiences.

A thank you to our team and partners

This certification reflects the dedication of our entire team, supported by our clients and partners who trust us with their digital ecosystems.

We’re excited for the next chapter as we continue to deliver secure, accessible and meaningful digital products for organisations across Australia.
