gwi.digital is proud to unveil its partnership with Drata , the market leading provider of automation and integration-driven security and compliance solutions.
“Many of our clients know they have a cyber-risk problem but can’t define its nature or size” says Ian Roderick, CEO of gwi.digital. “They may have made investments in cybersecurity initiatives but these are typically technically focused remediations rather than integrated with process and people, and many struggle to demonstrate that their investments have translated to meaningful reductions in business risk.”
Drata is a security and compliance automation platform that continuously monitors and collects evidence of a company’s security controls, while streamlining workflows to ensure audit-readiness. Drata is revolutionizing the GRC market by emphasising the efficiency of integration and automation benefits of cloud-native platforms and applications which now underpin modern businesses, and reducing manual effort associated with controls management, evidence collection and audit processes. On the same Drata platform, customers can simultaneously progress, continuously measure and visibly attest their compliance against industry standards such as ISO 27001, SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS as well as allow partners or customers to build custom frameworks.
The first joint offering between gwi.digital and Drata is an Essential Eight solution; tailored specifically to the Australia and New Zealand market.
“Essential Eight is a baseline security framework from the Australian Cyber Security Centre which is designed to help organizations protect themselves from various common threats and angles of attack” continues Roderick. “Essential Eight provides a foundation level of assurance on which organisations can build if they choose to progress towards more comprehensive information security management systems such as ISO 27001”.
gwi.digital’s Essential Eight Assessment and Improvement Support solution (E8AIS) is based on Drata’s GRC automation platform, the Essential Eight Framework, combined with a flexible services bundle that sizes and scales depending on the customer and their requirements for both support levels (monthly or quarterly engagement, operational and/or executive reporting) and investment shape (eg monthly subscription or annual commitment).
Beyond Essential Eight, gwi.digital is bringing industry-standard ISO 27001 and SOC2 solutions to market with Drata in Australia and New Zealand, and leveraging its partnerships with AWS and AssuranceLab to offer end to end scalable solutions in the GRC space.
