AdvanseIT
Security & Compliance

Built Secure. Built to Comply.

Security is not a feature we add at the end — it is a discipline we apply from the first line of code. Our practices align with Australian and international security frameworks to protect your business and your customers.

Secure Code Reviews

Every codebase undergoes peer review with security as a first-class concern — not an afterthought.

Vulnerability Scanning

Automated dependency scanning and SAST tools are integrated into our CI/CD pipelines.

Penetration Testing

For enterprise projects, we coordinate third-party penetration testing before production deployment.

Infrastructure Security

Cloud infrastructure is configured with least-privilege access, encrypted at rest and in transit.

Frameworks & Standards We Align With

We do not claim certifications we do not hold. What we do claim is that our practices are deliberately aligned with the following frameworks — and we can demonstrate this alignment to enterprise clients on request.

Essential Eight

Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC)

We align our software development and infrastructure practices with the ACSC Essential Eight Maturity Model — Australia's baseline cybersecurity framework for protecting organisations from common cyber threats.

Application control and whitelisting guidance
Patch application and OS hardening recommendations
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) by default
Regular backups with tested restoration procedures
Restriction of administrative privileges
User application hardening

OWASP Top 10

Open Web Application Security Project

Every web and mobile application we build is developed with the OWASP Top 10 in mind — the globally recognised standard for web application security risks.

Protection against SQL injection and XSS attacks
Secure authentication and session management
Input validation and output encoding
Secure API design and access control
Dependency vulnerability scanning in CI/CD
Security misconfiguration prevention

Privacy Act 1988 (AU)

Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC)

We design and build software that respects Australian privacy law. Our development process incorporates Privacy by Design principles, ensuring personal data is handled lawfully and transparently.

Privacy by Design in all software architecture
Data minimisation — only collect what is necessary
Transparent data handling and consent mechanisms
Secure data storage and transmission (TLS/AES-256)
Right to access and deletion support
Breach notification procedures

ISO/IEC 27001 Alignment

International Organisation for Standardisation

Risk-based approach to information security
Access control and identity management
Incident response and management procedures
Secure development lifecycle (SDLC)
Vendor and third-party security assessments
Regular security reviews and audits
