EWN Achieves ISO 27001 Certification

We’re proud to announce that Early Warning Network (EWN), along with our parent company Aeeris Ltd (ASX: AER) and sister brand Climatics, has achieved ISO 27001: 2022 certification for information security. This globally recognised standard demonstrates that our systems, processes, and practices meet the highest benchmarks for protecting data and mitigating security risks.

Why Information Security Matters Today

In the current digital environment, companies are more vulnerable than ever to cyber attacks, data breaches, and malicious actors. The consequences of an attack can be devastating, resulting in compromised customer data, operational downtime, reputational damage, and financial losses. As technology advances, so too do the tactics used by hackers, making it essential for businesses to stay one step ahead.

Cyber security risks include:

• Phishing and social engineering attacks targeting sensitive company and customer information.
• Ransomware attacks, where systems are locked, and attackers demand payment to restore access.
• Data breaches, exposing confidential information and leading to legal liabilities.
• Operational disruptions, where critical systems are compromised, affecting business continuity.

As a provider of real-time weather intelligence, EWN operates within industries that rely on timely, accurate, and secure data. Our clients, including government agencies, insurance providers, and critical infrastructure operators, need to know that their data is in safe hands.

What ISO 27001 Certification Means for EWN and Our Customers

Achieving ISO 27001 certification isn’t just about compliance—it’s about building trust and ensuring the resilience of our IT systems. This certification required a thorough, independent audit by the Johanson Group, reviewing every aspect of our information security management system, from how we handle data to how we respond to potential threats.

Here’s what ISO 27001 certification brings to our customers:

Enhanced Protection of Data

We continuously enhance robust controls and processes to protect customer data and sensitive information. Whether it’s real-time weather alerts or critical operational forecasts, clients can trust that their data is managed securely.

Proactive Risk Management

The certification reflects our commitment to identifying and addressing potential risks before they can impact our systems or clients. This proactive approach ensures business continuity, even in the face of evolving cyber threats.

Alignment with Global Best Practices

ISO 27001: 2022 requires continuous improvement in security practices. Our certification shows that EWN, Aeeris, and Climatics are aligned with the latest international standards, reinforcing trust with government and enterprise clients that require the highest level of information security compliance.

This milestone required collaboration across all areas of EWN and our sister brands. From IT and operations to leadership and customer support, every department played a role in meeting the rigorous requirements of ISO 27001.

Matt Pearce, Head of Products & Partnerships, shared his thoughts on this achievement: 
“This certification reflects the growing maturity of EWN, Climatics, and Aeeris. It’s a testament to the teamwork and dedication across the entire business. Achieving ISO 27001 not only enhances our customer relationships but also unlocks new opportunities for growth.”

CEO Kerry Plowright highlighted the strategic significance of the certification:
“ISO 27001 marks another important step in our journey to enhance systems and operations. It positions EWN, Aeeris, and Climatics for long-term success, equipping us to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”

With ISO 27001 certification in place, EWN is better prepared than ever to face the challenges of today’s cyber landscape. This achievement reinforces our commitment to security, trust, and continuous improvement, ensuring that our customers and partners can depend on us to deliver reliable, secure solutions—now and in the future.

As we continue to grow and expand our services, this milestone marks the beginning of new opportunities to deepen relationships with existing customers and build partnerships with new ones.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved and excited about what’s next. Thank you to our customers and partners for trusting us, and to everyone at EWN, Aeeris, and Climatics who made this possible!
