Security and Privacy by Design: How ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and IRAP Underpin Every LAB³ Service

“LAB³'s stringent approach to cybersecurity and privacy protection is verified by external authorities through regular rigorous audits. Clients can access our Trust Centre to view our security and compliance posture any time.”

Today, every organisation faces growing pressure to reduce cybersecurity risk and meet increasing expectations around data protection and privacy. As cloud, data and AI become central to business operations, organisations need confidence that their technology environments are secure, compliant, and transparent.

At LAB³, security and privacy are not add-ons. They are foundational to how we operate, how we deliver services and how we design solutions. Across LAB³ services and solutions, our security posture meets world-leading standards, independently validated through ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27701 and Infosec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assurance.

Independent ISO validation builds trust

Quality assurance that is independently validated provides confidence that security and privacy are actively managed, evaluated, and continually improved.

LAB³ maintains ISO/IEC 27001 certification, the global standard for Information Security Management Systems, demonstrating a structured approach to identifying, managing, and reducing information security risks across people, processes, and technology.

We also maintain ISO/IEC 27701 certification, the internationally recognised standard for Privacy Information Management Systems, demonstrating a clear commitment to privacy governance.

Together, these certifications show that LAB³ applies recognized global best practice to protecting information and personal data.

Government-grade assurance through Australia's IRAP

Meeting stringent Australian government requirements, LAB³ maintains IRAP to Protected status. Managed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre, IRAP is one of Australia's most rigorous cybersecurity assurance programs. Maintaining IRAP to Protected status ensures we comply with the Australian Information Security Manual (Australian ISM). It also means we align with the New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM).

While IRAP is often associated with government, its principles are relevant to every organisation. The same controls also help safeguard customer data, intellectual property, sensitive information, business systems and critical operations across all industries.

Transparency clients can see

For LAB³, strong security is also transparent security. Our security measures are fully visible to clients, who maintain total visibility and full access to the metrics associated with their security posture and technology environment. This means security is not simply promised. It can be seen, measured, and verified.

The LAB³ Trust Centre serves as a real-time showcase of our security and compliance posture, accessible to clients at any time. It provides visibility of our certifications, compliance frameworks and audited controls, helping organisations understand the governance and security measures underpinning every LAB³ engagement.

Security embedded into every service

Credentials only matter when reflected in real-world delivery. LAB³ applies secure-by-design principles across cloud, data, AI, managed services and cybersecurity services. Our AI and Azure Landing Zones provide secure and scalable cloud foundations, incorporating monitoring, connectivity, backup capabilities and Infrastructure as Code practices from the outset.

The LAB³ Security Operations Centre further strengthens protection through continuous monitoring, threat detection, incident response, and threat intelligence services powered by Microsoft Sentinel, AI and Automation. LAB³ has achieved Microsoft verified Managed Extended Detection and Response solution status for its SOC capabilities.

Enabling innovation with confidence

Security and privacy should not slow innovation; they should enable it. By maintaining independent certification, LAB³ helps clients establish secure foundations for cloud, data, and AI initiatives. Organisations can move forward knowing the right protections are already in place.

In a world of increasing cyber threats, growing privacy obligations and explosion of AI, LAB³ helps clients protect what matters most while confidently embracing the opportunities of the future.
