The evolution of cloud services and digital supply chains has meant that data privacy and cyber security is no longer just a ‘big business’ problem. And with the Privacy Act set to extend to small and medium-sized businesses, all organisations will need to prioritise compliance with data security standards like ISO 27001 and the ACSC Essential Eight.

de.iterate streamlines the compliance process to make privacy and cybersecurity simple and stress-free for growing businesses. Our approach helps mitigate risk and improve operations – all through a single, integrated platform that is easy for employees to understand and use.

A New Approach to Compliance

The de.iterate team is passionate about removing the negative stigma around compliance. We identified a need to move beyond dry, paper-based policy manuals – and transform compliance management into an engaging, education-based program designed to arm individuals with the cyber skills they needed to protect their businesses, clients, employers, and themselves.

We’ve rebuilt compliance from the ground up, creating a platform that is firmly focused on the real-world, practical applications of compliance. Our focus is on helping businesses implement simple, sustainable compliance processes that are integrated into their everyday operations.

In July 2022, de.iterate launched our easy-to-use, interactive, all-in-one online policy manual employee training platform and compliance calendar.

The de.iterate Platform

de.iterate is an online platform that you can access either via your desktop, or through our fully-featured mobile app. It includes:

• A compliance calendar that reminds you what tasks you need to do and when

• A suite of Smart Policies mapped to the relevant Standard

• Training modules with memorable messaging your employees will actually remember

• An asset register to document and classify your suppliers and assets

• A risk register that assigns owners, sets review periods, and details treatment plans

• Reporting tools that auditors just love.

Compliance with ISO 27001

ISO 27001 Information security management systems is an international standard that sets out the requirements and best practices to help businesses safeguard sensitive information, mitigate security risks, and protect against data breaches and cyber threats.

The de.iterate platform streamlines compliance to the global standard, encompassing ISO 27001 policies, employee training modules, a risk register, a compliance calendar, and reporting tools. By adhering to ISO 27001, businesses can efficiently safeguard their intellectual property, brand, and reputation, and avoid the costs associated with non-compliance or breaches.

The Privacy Act and the Essential Eight

In Australia, businesses are legally responsible for protecting the personal information that customers provide to them. The Privacy Act regulates how businesses handle customer data, while the Essential Eight provides a framework that can help you counter cyber threats effectively, thwart potential cyber intrusions, and safeguard sensitive data.

Combining the Privacy Act with the Essential Eight creates a powerful shield against data breaches, enhancing data privacy and governance, and ultimately leading to a safer and more resilient digital environment for all stakeholders. Our leading compliance platform streamlines data governance and certification to global information security and data privacy standards like the ASCS Essential Eight.
