Content on Why ISO 27001 Certification Matters — and What It Means for You
We’ve always believed that trust is built on more than just great design and clever code. It’s built on reliability, accountability, and security. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Greenhouse Creative is now ISO 27001:2022 certified - the international gold standard for information security management.
It puts us in a small group of digital agencies in New South Wales (and even fewer in Sydney) who have taken this step. But more importantly, it gives our clients a new level of confidence in the way we handle their data, systems, and digital presence.
So, what does this actually mean for you?
What is ISO 27001:2022?
ISO 27001:2022 is the globally recognised standard for managing information security. It outlines a framework for identifying risks, putting controls in place, and maintaining robust practices across all areas of an organisation.
To be certified, we had to go through a rigorous audit process. This meant documenting our internal systems, demonstrating our risk management strategies, and proving that we’re actively safeguarding sensitive information - not just once, but on an ongoing basis.
For our clients, this translates to a higher level of protection across everything we touch, from website code to hosting and ongoing support.
Why We Pursued Certification
Over the past decade, we’ve grown into a full-scale creative & technical partner for digital growth, working with clients across government, health, education, not-for-profit, and enterprise.
Many of these organisations handle sensitive data and operate in environments where compliance and security aren’t optional. Whether it’s a local council website, a health portal, or a secure education platform, our work needs to stand up to scrutiny.
Becoming ISO 27001 certified was the natural next step in that journey. It formalises the way we’ve always worked; with care, rigour, and responsibility.
What This Means for You
Your data is protected.
We have strict controls in place to prevent breaches, leaks, or loss of information.
Your projects are backed by process.
Every system we use is reviewed, tested, and documented.
You can tick the compliance box.
Especially important for organisations with procurement requirements, government contracts, or audit obligations.
You’re working with a rare breed.
Very few creative agencies in Sydney hold ISO 27001 certification — and even fewer offer the combined strategy, design, development, and hosting capability that we do.
