Sydney, 27 January 2026 – Leading technology service provider, Tecala, today announced that the company has achieved two significant security milestones that reinforce its position as one of Australia’s most trusted technology partners.

The company has been awarded the Microsoft Solutions Partner Designation for Security and successfully completed its ISO 27001:2022 surveillance audit with an expanded scope that now fully incorporates its Automation, Data and AI (ADA) division. Together, these achievements demonstrate Tecala’s commitment to secure-by-design operations, rigorous governance, and the protection of its customers’ systems and data.

While each accreditation carries its own global standards and stringent requirements, together they communicate a clear message. Tecala is committed to delivering secure, resilient, and compliant digital transformation outcomes across cloud, cyber security, automation, data and AI.  They provide customers with third-party validation of Tecala’s maturity in both operational security practices and the secure development of next-generation capabilities.

Ben Leggo, Chief Operating Officer, Tecala, says, “In an environment where cyber threats, regulatory pressures, and digital transformation risks are accelerating, customers increasingly seek partners that can prove, not just claim, their security maturity.  These achievements reflect our commitment to building secure-by-design services that our customers can trust. By strengthening our Microsoft security capability and expanding our ISO 27001 certification across the business, we’re ensuring every solution we deliver is grounded as a core organisational discipline in resilience, governance, and operational excellence.”

Microsoft Solutions Partner – Security Designation: A Benchmark of Proven Cyber Capability

Microsoft awards this designation only to partners that can demonstrate advanced technical competence, repeatable best practices, and measurable success in deploying Microsoft security solutions. Tecala’s accreditation follows rigorous audit processes assessing identity and access management, threat detection, security operations, endpoint management, and cloud security.

For Tecala customers, this means they are assured of working with a partner that has deep, proven expertise in securing Microsoft cloud environments; operates mature, validated SOC and incident response functions; applies Microsoft’s best-practice frameworks consistently and at scale; and delivers measurable reductions in exposure, vulnerability, and operational risk.

“Tecala’s security designation gives customers enhanced access to Microsoft innovations, enriched threat intelligence feeds, and escalated support pathways that accelerate outcomes,” says Leggo.  “Tecala sets itself apart from traditional MSPs by providing evidence-backed capability.   This verifies that Tecala not only deploys best-practice security but does so in ways that deliver reliable, repeatable, high-impact outcomes for enterprise and mid-market organisations.”

Expanded ISO 27001:2022 Certification: A Major Step Forward for Secure-by-Design Innovation

Tecala has also completed its latest ISO 27001 surveillance audit, achieving an expanded certification scope that is significant for customers and the broader market. The new certification now covers “IT Managed & Integration Services, provided on Public and Private Cloud” and, for the first time, wholly incorporates Tecala’s Automation, Data and AI (ADA) division.

This inclusion is a major milestone for Tecala as it means that the ADA team’s entire secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) has been independently assessed and externally certified. The audit validated not only the modern continuous integration and delivery processes the ADA division utilises but also the evidence demonstrating all processes are embedded in daily operations.

For customers, the new certification means that their Tecala solutions are secure-by-design AI adhering to ISO 27001:2022 controls and ensuring data protection, governance, and risk management are applied from design through deployment.

“Enterprises can also have added confidence in emerging technology adoption with Tecala,” says Leggo.  “As AI agents, automation workflows, and data-driven platforms become core to business operations, having ISO-certified processes reduces organisational risk.  At the same time, with ADA now integrated into the certification, customers benefit from a unified assurance framework spanning cloud platforms, managed services, integration projects, and software development activities.  Passing this audit confirms that Tecala’s operational maturity and that our security practices are ingrained, repeatable, and consistently applied across teams.

“At the same time, as organisations move deeper into cloud modernisation, AI adoption, and automation-driven operational models, the importance of choosing a partner with validated security capability cannot be overstated,” says Leggo.  “Tecala’s Microsoft Designations and expanded ISO 27001:2022 certification demonstrate a robust and holistic approach to protecting customers’ environments.  Tecala will continue to invest in platforms, people, and governance to ensure customers can innovate confidently and operate securely in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.”
