AUSIEX achieves ‘gold standard’ infosec certification

Trade execution, settlement and clearing service AUSIEX has confirmed it is now ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information Security Management System certified, affirming its commitment “to maintaining world-class cybersecurity practices”.

Conformance with the ISO/IEC 27001 global standard confirms that an organisation has in place a system to adequately manage risks related to the security of data owned or handled by the company, and conforms with the best practices and principles of the standard.

The certification process also requires companies to pass a certification audit.

“Companies that adopt the holistic approach described in ISO/IEC 27001 will make sure information security is built into organisational processes, information systems and management controls,” writes the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), the standard setter for ISO/IEC 27001.

“They gain efficiency and often emerge as leaders within their industries.”

AUSIEX hailed the certification as a “significant milestone” for the company, affirming its commitment to maintaining world-class cybersecurity practices across its trading and technology platforms.

Commenting on the successful certification, AUSIEX chief executive Patrick Salis said: “In a time of heightened and evolving cyber risks, attaining ISO27001 provides an additional layer of trust and reassurance for our clients and stakeholders that AUSIEX has implemented robust, globally recognised security controls.”

He added: “This achievement is the result of a concerted effort across our business and is a strong endorsement of AUSIEX’s cybersecurity capabilities and our commitment to protecting client data and infrastructure and ensuring reliable ongoing operations.”

AUSIEX said the certification reinforces its position as a trusted and secure provider to the adviser community.

AUSIEX, a leading Australian investment trading and portfolio administration platform, currently supports more than 4,400 advisers from over 1,000 dealer groups across the country.
