Industry Certifications.
Our compliance programs are extensive, and we are one of the most certified data centres in Australia and the world.
ISO 14001
ISO 14001 specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that organizations use to manage their environmental performance. ISO 14001 certification demonstrates a business manages its environmental responsibilities in a systematic and effective manner.
Membership in the The Defence Industry Security Program (DISP), managed by the Defence IndustrySecurity Office (DISO), is essentially security vetting for Australian businesses and indicates that members understand and are able to meet their security obligations when engaging in Defence projects, contracts and tenders.
SCEC Designed for Government
All Macquarie Data Centre facilities are assessed by an accredited auditor to meet the Attorney General’s PSPF Facility requirements. Macquarie Data Centres routinely establishes high security environments for government and corporate customer requirements.
Australian Government Security Cleared Personnel
Personnel working in high security government environments require a security assessment by the Department of Defence. These security clearances are issued by the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA). Macquarie maintains a large contingent of vetted personnel at all facilities.
Uptime Tier III certified data centres incorporate concurrently maintainable infrastructure with redundant components and redundant distribution paths to serve the critical environment. These facilities require no shutdown when equipment needs maintenance or replacement, making them suitable for ICT services and workloads requiring very high availability.
ISO 27001 is a widely recognized international standard for an organization’s information security management system (ISMS). An ISMS is a set of policies relating to information security and the management of IT related risk. Assurance to this standard provides customers with confidence that confidential information will remain confidential.
ISO 9001
ISO 9001 is an international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organisations certified to the standard demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
ISO 45001
The ISO 45001 international standard is used to develop and certify an organization’s occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system. OH&S systems manage risks and enable continued OH&S performance through implementing effective policies and objectives.
SOC 1&2
The Service Organization Controls (SOC) reporting standard is defined by the US American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). SOC reporting mirrors the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) No. 3402. Controls assessed include finance, security, availability, integrity of processing, confidentiality and privacy.
PCI-DSS certification is a regulatory requirement for any company that processes credit card information, with the intent to protect card data from hackers and cyber criminals. Macquarie Data Centres’ certified compliance with PCI physical security requirements greatly assists customers requiring PCI DSS certification.
