Telstra’s new infrastructure-as-a-service cloud service platform has been independently certified as complaint to industry security standards.

 

The service is now ISO27001 certified, meaning the company’s dedicated cloud computing platforms, backup and recovery service, associated operation systems and tools have been assessed to the highest industry security standard.

 

Mark Pratley, Telstra General Manager of Cloud Computing, said the accreditation of Telstra’s  infrastructure-as-a-service platform is another part of the organisation’s ongoing investment in cloud.

 

“The cloud market, in particular infrastructure-as-a-service, represents a new approach to how IT is delivered for organisations and Telstra is very serious about making sure our cloud computing platform is not just secure but independently audited, giving our customers the confidence their data and applications are protected and safe,” Mr Pratley said.

 

“Receiving ISO27001 certification follows a strict independent audit of our infrastructure and security practices in connection with our infrastructure-as-a-service platform, which are in accordance with strict global standards,” Mr Pratley said,
