Compliance & Security

Security over commercial information is the principle WebCM was built on. Here is how we put it into practice — from where your data lives to who can see it.

ISO 27000 aligned

Designed and implemented to align with best practice and ISO 27000 standards.

Hosted in Australia

Microsoft Azure (Australia) infrastructure, with penetration testing undertaken each year.

Privacy Act compliant

Built around the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the National Privacy Principles.

Security is a feature, not a footnote

WebCM is contract management software for Australian organisations that take governance seriously. Every layer of the platform — from infrastructure through to the way users see contracts — is shaped by one rule: people see what they are responsible for, and nothing more. That principle is wired into the product itself, not bolted on afterwards.

How we protect your contract data

Six controls, built into the product

Australian-hosted infrastructure

Contracts Online uses Microsoft Azure Cloud Services (Australia) to deliver WebCM, with the resilience and physical security of a hyperscale provider.

Role and department-based access

Access to information is restricted to only those who have a need. Permissions follow responsibility — users see the contracts assigned to them, and nothing else.

Single sign-on

Microsoft Active Directory and SAML single sign-on are supported, so user lifecycle stays in your existing identity stack.

Encrypted, multi-layer protection

The data store is protected by multiple layers of security, including firewalls and encryption.

Annual penetration testing

Penetration testing is undertaken each year against the WebCM platform.

Audit trail by default

Every contract event is tracked, giving you a complete picture of activity inside the platform.
