AU regulatory modules built in, not bolted on
Drata supports many frameworks but treats Australian compliance as an afterthought. Standardise has Essential Eight maturity tracking, IRAP assessment readiness, all 13 Australian Privacy Principles, and NDB 72-hour deadline enforcement as first-class modules. You don’t need to build custom controls or map frameworks manually.
Per-tenant envelope encryption
Every organisation on Standardise gets its own AES-256-GCM encryption keys. Sensitive data like risk descriptions, incident details, and evidence metadata are encrypted at the application layer with dedicated key encryption keys (KEKs) and data encryption keys (DEKs). This goes beyond platform-level encryption at rest and provides true tenant isolation.
27 production-ready templates
Standardise includes 27 ISO 27001 document templates covering all 8 ISMS modules: 14 policy templates (ISP, access control, incident response, BCP, and more), risk assessment reports, audit programmes, and compliance documents. Each template includes placeholder variables that auto-populate with your organisation details.
Data stays in Australia
Standardise runs entirely in AWS ap-southeast-2 (Sydney). Your compliance data, evidence files, and encryption keys never leave Australian infrastructure. This simplifies APP 8 cross-border data transfer obligations and is increasingly required by government and regulated industries.
