Stott Hoare achieves ISO 27001 certification

We’re proud to announce that Stott Hoare has officially achieved ISO 27001 certification, the internationally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).

This certification, awarded following a rigorous independent audit, confirms that Stott Hoare has established, implemented, and maintains a comprehensive set of controls to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information we manage.

What is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is the world’s leading standard for information security management. It provides a systematic framework for managing sensitive company and customer information, ensuring it remains secure through a combination of people, processes, and technology controls.

Achieving certification requires an organisation to demonstrate compliance across a wide range of security domains, from access control and encryption to incident response and business continuity, all assessed by accredited, independent auditors.

What this means for our customers

Whether you’re a business, school, or government organisation, our ISO 27001 certification gives you confidence that:

• Your data is protected by design. Our certified ISMS ensures systematic protection of customer data through industry-leading security controls, access management, and encryption practices as a core part of how we operate.
• Our standards are independently verified. ISO 27001 isn’t a self-assessment. It’s audited by accredited third-party assessors, meaning you can trust that our security practices meet the highest global benchmarks.
• We’re built for resilience. Our certification covers risk management, incident response, and disaster recovery planning. When threats emerge, we’re prepared to respond and keep operations running.

A natural complement to ISO 9001

This achievement sits alongside our existing ISO 9001 quality management certification, meaning Stott Hoare now holds dual certification across both quality and information security. Together, they reflect our commitment to delivering IT services that are not only high-quality, but secure and reliable by design.

Security. Trust. Resilience.

For over 30 years, Stott Hoare has been a trusted IT partner to organisations across Australia. Achieving ISO 27001 certification is the latest milestone in that journey, and a clear signal to our customers that protecting your data is at the heart of everything we do.
