Compliance and Certifications
GoHosting is a Strategic-certified provider under the Australian Government's Hosting Certification Framework (HCF), certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and an accredited auDA registrar. Australian owned and hosted, and independently audited.
Certified Australian Hosting
The hard vendor questions, answered before you ask.
When your procurement or information security team assesses GoHosting, our certifications do a lot of the work up front.
- Data stays in Australia with an Australian-owned and operated provider
- Our security controls are independently audited rather than self-declared, and that we're cleared to host sensitive government workloads.
- We're Canberra-based and have been completely Australian owned and operated for over 20 years, with our certified facilities in the ACT.
The people accountable for your environment are local, and so is your data.
This all means you can enjoy the benefits of shorter vendor risk assessment, fewer back-and-forth questionnaires, and documented evidence you can take straight to your own auditors, board, or compliance team.
HCF Certified at the Strategic Level
The Hosting Certification Framework (HCF) is run by the Digital Transformation Agency and Department of Home Affairs. It assesses if a hosting provider is suitable to hold Australian Government data, including data classified up to and including the 'PROTECTED' tier.
Providers are certified as either Strategic (the highest level) or Assured. GoHosting is certified at the Strategic level and listed on the official HCF register for our Cloud Services.
For government agencies and contractors or suppliers who deal directly with government, hosting with a certified provider is usually a minimum requirement. GoHosting can support you in meeting your requirements and ensuring your hosting aligns with all tiers of compliance.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022
GoHosting is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, the international standard for information security management. This is a first-party certification of our own management system, which is independently audited.
Our certificate is 500-07788-IS, issued by Citation Certification.

auDA Accredited Registrar
GoHosting is an official auDA accredited registrar. This means your .au domains are registered and managed directly by your hosting provider. That's one less third party in your supply chain, and one less vendor for your compliance team to assess.
