How Axipro Helped Datawest Achieve ISO 27001 Certification
Challenge
Navigating the Complexities of ISO 27001 Certification for Datawest
Datawest, a leading technology provider based in Australia, faced the challenging task of meeting the strict requirements of ISO 27001 certification. To begin with, this process involved setting up an Information Security Management System (ISMS), conducting risk assessments, managing extensive documentation, and ensuring all policies aligned with the demanding standards.
Like many organizations, Datawest needed expert assistance to define their ISMS scope, allocate resources effectively, and ultimately streamline the certification process. Without the right guidance, the journey toward certification can indeed be overwhelming, as it requires a deep understanding of the standard along with an ongoing commitment to managing compliance.
Therefore, Axipro stepped in to simplify and manage the entire process for Datawest, ensuring a structured approach every step of the way.

Partnering with Axipro and Drata for Efficient ISO 27001 Certification
To further support Datawest in achieving ISO 27001 certification, Axipro partnered with Drata, a leading compliance automation platform. This powerful collaboration offered Datawest a streamlined approach, where Drata’s platform enabled real-time monitoring, evidence collection, and automation of crucial compliance tasks.

Key Steps in the Certification Process
Axipro implemented several key steps in the process, ensuring Datawest’s journey toward ISO 27001 certification was both effective and efficient. Here is an outline of those steps:
Risk Assessment and Gap Analysis: First, Axipro conducted a comprehensive gap analysis of Datawest’s current security practices. This identified specific areas needing improvement to meet standards, helping Datawest understand where they stood and what was needed to move forward.
Policy Development: Following the analysis, and with Axipro’s guidance, Datawest developed policies aligned with certification requirements. Therefore, Axipro ensured that all critical controls were in place for compliance.
Automated Evidence Collection: Additionally, leveraging Drata’s compliance automation tools, Axipro helped Datawest automate the collection and management of evidence. Consequently, this made documentation easier and ensured accuracy for the audit.
ISMS Implementation: Next, Axipro worked closely with Datawest to set up and implement their Information Security Management System (ISMS). In doing so, Axipro ensured the system met every necessary guideline outlined in certification.
Continuous Monitoring: Finally, with Drata’s platform, Datawest could continuously monitor their compliance status. This allowed them to stay compliant with minimal manual intervention, keeping the process sustainable over the long term.
