Engaging a web development agency as a government or enterprise organisation is more than just a creative decision. It’s a governance one.

We understand that. And we’ve built our practice accordingly.

We fit into your procurement process, not around it.

Government and enterprise organisations have rigorous vendor assessment frameworks for good reason. Third-party suppliers, including web agencies, sit within your supply chain, often with access to your CMS, hosting environments, third-party integrations, and sometimes user data. That access doesn’t always end when the project does.

At Kicking Pixels, we hold ISO 27001 certification, an internationally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).

It means we’ve been independently audited against a framework that covers risk management, access controls, incident response, business continuity, and supplier relationship management. Not once, but on an ongoing basis.

When you’re completing a vendor assessment, we’re not a gap in your process. We’re a vendor that can meet it.

What we can provide for your assessment

We know procurement teams need more than a conversation, they need documentation. As an ISO 27001 certified agency, we’re able to provide:

  • A copy of our current ISO 27001 certificate
  • Participation in your formal vendor security assessment or supplier questionnaire
  • Discussion of our security controls in the context of your organisation’s specific obligations and risk profile
  • Clarity on how we manage access to client environments, including our offboarding process at project completion
  • Information on how we identify and manage vulnerabilities in third-party components such as plugins, themes, and integrations
  • An outline of our incident response process

We’re used to these conversations. We welcome them.

How our certification aligns with Australian government frameworks

ISO 27001 is not a direct replacement for the Australian Signals Directorate’s Information Security Manual (ISM) or the Essential Eight, but it is directionally aligned and widely recognised across Australian government and enterprise procurement as a credible baseline for supplier assurance.

Our certification demonstrates an independently verified, systematically maintained approach to information security, which maps meaningfully to the supplier risk expectations embedded in the ISM and in whole-of-government procurement frameworks.

The short version

We’re a web development agency that takes information security seriously enough to have it independently certified and continuously maintained.

If you’re assessing vendors for a government or enterprise web project, we’re ready to support that process with the documentation, the transparency, and the rigour it deserves.
