ISO 27001 is the one security credential that works in every market on this page. One ISMS, one certificate, scoped to cover the countries you operate in. Local law then adds its own layer — registration duties, breach-notification clocks, critical-infrastructure designations — and the country guides below cover each layer in turn.
Security expectations don’t stop at a border, but most security credentials do. The Essential Eight is Australian. SOC 2 is an American attestation. National schemes bind you to one regulator and mean little to a customer two markets away.
ISO/IEC 27001 is the exception. It’s the international standard for information security management, and a certificate issued by an accredited certification body in one country is read the same way by a procurement team in another. If you sell across the markets on this page — or plan to — it’s the one credential you don’t have to re-earn at each border.
What gets certified is the management system, not a product and not a datacentre. Annex A holds 93 controls in four themes; you assess all 93 against your risks and document what applies in the Statement of Applicability. Certification runs Stage 1 (documentation review) and Stage 2 (interviews and evidence), then annual surveillance audits and full recertification every three years. That cycle is identical whether the auditor sits in Ulaanbaatar, Jakarta or Sydney.
What the standard doesn’t do is read local law for you. Every jurisdiction adds its own layer on top, and that layer is where multi-market compliance actually gets hard.
The pattern repeats across the region: a cyber security law that designates critical infrastructure or regulated operators, and a data protection law that sets handling duties and a breach-notification clock. The names change; the shape doesn’t.
Indonesia shows the busy end of the spectrum. PP 71/2019 governs electronic systems, operators register with Kominfo as PSEs, BSSN sets technical standards and runs security assessments that include ISO/IEC 27001 readiness checks, and the UU PDP gives you 72 hours to notify authorities and affected users after a breach. Mongolia shows the quieter end: a Law on Cyber Security that designates organisations with critical information infrastructure, and a GDPR-aligned Law on Personal Data Protection — neither of which mandates ISO 27001 at all.
Local law rarely requires the certificate by name. What it requires is that you register, secure your systems, protect personal data and notify when things go wrong — and then prove it, to a regulator, a bank, or a customer’s security questionnaire. An ISMS is the structure those audiences recognise when you do.
That’s the working model for the whole region: build one ISMS, record each country’s legal requirements inside it as you enter the market, and extend the certificate’s scope rather than starting again. The certificate travels; the legal-requirements register grows.
Secure60 has delivery infrastructure across all of these markets via Rackcorp — 28 datacentres in the ten countries this section covers, including ten in Australia. That means log collection, monitoring and evidence can run on in-country infrastructure where contracts or regulators expect it, without us pretending to be a local firm. We aren’t one, and the certification audit is never ours to perform.
Country guides, each covering the local regulatory hooks and what certification takes there:
| Market | Guide | Delivery infrastructure via Rackcorp |
|---|---|---|
| Indonesia | ISO 27001 in Indonesia | 2 datacentres |
| Mongolia | ISO 27001 in Mongolia | 4 datacentres |
| Hong Kong | ISO 27001 in Hong Kong | 2 datacentres |
| India | ISO 27001 in India | 2 datacentres |
| Kyrgyzstan | ISO 27001 in Kyrgyzstan | 2 datacentres |
| Philippines | ISO 27001 in the Philippines | 2 datacentres |
| Thailand | ISO 27001 in Thailand | 2 datacentres |
| Singapore | ISO 27001 in Singapore | 1 datacentre |
| New Zealand | ISO 27001 in New Zealand | 1 datacentre |
Cross-cutting guides for anyone operating in more than one of them:
The mistake is treating the certificate as the answer to every regulator. It isn’t. A regulator in Jakarta asks about PSE registration and the 72-hour breach clock; a Mongolian counterparty asks what your critical-infrastructure obligations are. A certificate scoped without those obligations in it answers none of that.
The fix is direction of travel. Don’t certify first and hope the laws fit; put each jurisdiction’s legal requirements into the ISMS as inputs — the risk assessment, the controls, the incident process — and let the certificate evidence the result. Done that way round, one management system genuinely does serve many jurisdictions, because each one’s demands are already inside it.
Tools hand you a to-do list. We do the list — and run the security behind it. Across this region that means one engagement: ISMS build, controls, evidence collection and the day-to-day security operations behind them, on one security platform that works across every market above. In-country infrastructure comes via Rackcorp where residency matters. The certification audit is performed by a locally accredited certification body — we prepare you for it, we don’t conduct it. We hold ISO 27001:2022 certification ourselves, so the system we build for you is the one we run for us.
Is ISO 27001 recognised in every country in this section?
Yes. ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard, and a certificate issued by an accredited certification body is recognised across borders. That’s the point of choosing it over a national scheme — you earn it once.
Can one ISO 27001 certificate cover several countries?
Yes. You define a multi-country scope in the ISMS, engage one certification body, and the sites are listed on the certificate. See ISO 27001 across multiple jurisdictions for how that works in practice.
Do any of these countries legally require ISO 27001?
Local law rarely names ISO 27001 as a requirement — Mongolia’s laws, for example, don’t mandate it at all. What the laws set are obligations: register, secure your systems, notify after a breach. An ISMS is the recognised structure for evidencing that you meet them.
Who performs the certification audit?
An accredited certification body in the relevant market — never Secure60. Audit fees are set by the certification body and vary with the size and scope of what’s being certified.
Does Secure60 have a presence in these countries?
We have delivery infrastructure in each market via Rackcorp — 28 datacentres across the ten countries this section covers, including Australia. We don’t claim local offices, and the certification audit is always performed by a locally accredited body.
