Reinforcing our commitment to protecting your operational data

We're proud to announce that Halo Labs has achieved ISO 27001 certification, an internationally recognised standard that validates our approach to information security management and data protection across all technology implementations and consulting services.

This certification represents independent verification of our data governance practices, providing our clients across healthcare, financial services, and high growth e-commerce with confidence that their operational data and sensitive information are protected through rigorously tested frameworks.

Outstanding Implementation Results

Our certification audit concluded with zero findings, a rare result that highlights the strength of our implementation and preparation. It reflects our commitment to building robust information management systems aligned with global best practices.

As experts in data and technology, we understand that businesses depend on us to safeguard their most critical operational information. This certification validates our ongoing investment in security infrastructure and processes designed to protect the sensitive data that drives your business operations.

Understanding ISO 27001

ISO 27001 establishes rigorous requirements for implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving our information management systems. The standard focuses on risk-based approaches to identifying, assessing, and treating information security risks.

The certification process required us to demonstrate effective controls across all aspects of data handling, from initial collection through processing, storage, and disposal. Through this process we further strengthened existing controls specifically designed to protect client data across multiple industries.

Independent auditors evaluated our systems and made comprehensive assessments, verifying that all security measures meet the standard's stringent requirements and operate effectively in practice.

What This Means for Our Clients

For our clients who trust Halo Labs with their critical compliance and operations data, this certification reinforces several key benefits:

• Enhanced Data Protection: Robust information security management systems protect your operational data
• Regulatory Confidence: Strengthened compliance framework supports your own regulatory requirements
• Operational Reliability: Systematic approach ensures consistent, dependable service delivery
• Risk Mitigation: Comprehensive governance reduce exposure to data-related risks.

This certification is particularly valuable for our aged care clients, where our exclusive government API integrations and regulatory expertise set us apart. In this regulated sector, ISO 27001 provides added assurance that resident data and compliance reporting are protected through highest standards of integrity and control.

Strategic Partnership and Implementation Process

This milestone was achieved through our partnership with Sekuro, whose expertise in compliance and risk was invaluable. We have partned with Sekuro for a number of projects, this time working directly with Martin and the Sekuro team for our own systems reviews and compliance standards. The process saw us review our security controls and management systems to ensure they met the required standards.

Our path to ISO 27001 certification involved several critical phases:

• Gap Analysis - Comprehensive assessment of existing security controls against ISO 27001 requirements to identify enhancement areas and create an implementation roadmap
• Security Implementation - Systematic deployment of necessary security controls, policies, and procedures including risk management frameworks, access control systems, and incident response procedures specifically designed for multi-industry data protection
• Internal Audits and Preparation - Thorough internal assessments and preparation for the independent certification audit to ensure readiness and compliance

Working with Halo Labs has been a testament to how data solutions and consulting companies can effectively prioritise security and compliance in their growth journey. Their commitment to achieving ISO 27001 certification demonstrates exceptional maturity for an emerging business. Throughout the certification process, Halo Labs showed remarkable adaptability and efficiency, swiftly addressing gaps and improvement opportunities while maintaining their innovative edge through their inclusion of many security tools. Their proactive approach to building robust security capabilities sets a strong foundation for their future success and serves as an excellent example for other emerging technology companies in the Australian market."
